I’m just now getting back to normal after our Saison and Farmhouse ales tasting. We had 16 different beers to try! Jason Yester did a fantastic job guiding us through the style and presenting both classic Belgians, and modern local versions. Our tasting series continues next month with “Pilsners and Beyond” with Bill Eye of Dry Dock Brewing. I’m pretty excited about this one!
We’ve also submitted our paperwork for the Great American Beer Fest. We’ll have a total of six beers entered this year, including our first Pro-Am! Our test batch was amazing, so we’re finding places to put all our medals.
Cheers,

We’ve brewed our 1000th batch, and it looks to live up to the heady times in which it was created. This beer will take some time before it will be ready, but already it is a monster. Now would be a good time to fortify your town, and plan escape routes for your villagers, because the Igniter XXL is going to run amok, and biplanes or giant moths stand no chance against it. It will take your pretty women and carry them away. You’ve been warned.
We still have a few tickets left to the June 22nd beer tasting. This session will be with Jason Yester of Trinity Brewing, and will focus on farmhouse ales. These brews began as refreshing summer ales to nourish the farmhands that would be doing the hard work during the summer. We’ll have lots of examples of the style, from modern American interpretations to the original imports that have been brewed for hundreds of years. It is a great opportunity to try up to 20 different beers with an expert to walk you through your sensory experience.
The festival season is getting underway. Stay tuned for updates on when and where we’ll be pouring.
Yours Aye,
Esteban de la Cervesaria
