Blueberry Bottle Release
4:30 pm this Thursday 3/22/11
(750ml) for $17


why thursday? why everything thursday?

Brewing some hybrid styles of beer today.

A 5% hoppy wheat with Nugget hops
A 5% hoppy wheat with Zythos hops

And if I have time, a 7% saison with citra and Sorachi hops

It took 10 hours but I brewed 3 different beers yesterday.
Instead of Nugget, I did a galaxy hoppy wheat along with the zythos.
Also ended up brewing 8 gallons of the saison instead of 5.

Mind sharing the recipe for this one? I have a beer boner for those two varieties of hops.

gonna start some mr beer ton8

I have most of my recipes shared on hopville if you want to check it out.

Thanks m8

I have to update that recipe. It's close but at the last minute I dropped to less pilsner and more wheat. Also, I had more citra than I thought I had so I bumped up the quantity of late addition hops. I don't know how available the French saison yeast is for you. It's sold out all the time when I try to buy it. A good substitute would be the new American farmhouse blend. It has a bit of Brett added to it that makes it finish super dry which is awesome for the style.

got a 6 pack of widmer brothers dark saison

walked into the store and a widmer brothers rep had a table set up with beer tasting

portland oregon, joefc

they are trying hard to be recognized at craft again, some of their styles have greatly improved over the last couple of years. when they partnered up with budweiser they essentially stopped focusing on making unique beers and just became bland average "micro brew".

their kgb is outstanding though imo

lol joe... seriously?

You gonna tank that ~15% 750ml bottle all by yourself on a fucking wednesday?

my hero

its very tasty, i like
supermarket had one more, may go pick it up if its still there

joe drinking big boy beers on my day off
clearly on vent

i really fucking dropped the ball when you were here
i completely forgot about the 2 beers i had hiding in my basement to share with you that i specifically purchased to share with you

what joe is drinking right now is one of them
the bourbon barrel aged version of old stock was the other

oh well, they are big alcohol beers. they can wait until we meet again

out of curiosity, what did they charge you for it? out here it was like $19

$25 bones
RAPE but still very good

pricey yes but there is a lot that goes into the making of a brew of that strength
plus barrel aging

my body is ready

true, i wouldnt pay for aynthing

started a mr beer kit today that i got for christmas 2010 hopefully the yeast is still good!

Going to crack open either a hopslam form this year or bottle of Bruery beer before going out tonight

Love what the Bruery is doing, Saison Rue tonight

Saison Lente is pretty fantastic as well.

I am really impressed with what I have had from them this year that were new offerings. Sour in the Rye is the closest thing I have had to an american made geuze to date. The only thing I didnt care for so far was Mother Funker which is too sour (did I actually say that?)

Saison Lente was very awesome and I wish I would have bought a case. I still have trade winds to try then a bunch of jolly pumpkin is next.

I would love to see how the sour in the rye came out, rye is just used so sparingly

I clowned around with some brews so that I could learn what it is exactly that rye does in different intervals. The Bruery utilized it perfectly in sour in the rye. It didn't impart anything other than a thickness to the mouthfeel that is unseen in sour beers.

case of genny

Wow that would be a huge contrast and clearly sure how I would feel about it. I love the "thinness" of a sour because it makes it very drinkable so big donno

being someone who basically cant hardly finish a beer that is tart or sour whats a babbys introduction to sour/tart beers?

more berliner weisse

its perfect, dangerously drinkable. maybe i overstepped my description just a bit. its slightly thicker but still medium or lighter bodied but has a certain smoothness about it

Dan... have you kept an eye on nebco at all lately?

they are out of control. i dont even recognize their normal lineup of beers.

a saison? a galaxy pale ale?? 668 aged in barrels???

Galaxy isnt a "new" thing, saison yeah I heard aboot it and the 668, hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The saison is really good, might stop by NEBCO on Saturday and get some galaxy pale ale.

year+ orval is tart and funky, clearly sour

coors light

real men drink whiskey

like i am now

2-4 days till bottling! will be tasting saturday

have my makers in the cabinet, hmm

what the fuck, have you taken any gravity readings?
You are going from brew to bottle in a week? I dont think I would trust any yeast strain except for maybe saison to do that kind of job that quick especially since your yeast was a year old...

shut up

sounds like bottle bombs imo

great if you like cleaning up shards of glass

ohhhhh i forgot that Nick knows everything about brewing beer due to the mountains turning blue. press on Evan! feel free to send some samples to Nick. ill pay for shipping and handling in hopes that Mr. know it all dies

youre such an angry adult, i feel bad for you because i once knew what that felt like

if you want to talk about it sometime, get on ventrilo, im here for you man

the mountains turn blue
thats how you know its fresh

beer isn't even supposed to be drank cold
