We’ve got good news and great news

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

The good news is that our most recent Weiss Guy Hefeweizen is coming into its own as a delicious beer. We brewed half of it with an American yeast and half with a Bavarian yeast. The Americans did an okay job, but the Germans worked tirelessly to make our Weiss Guy awesome. It’s still a [...]

A Brew-Less Monday

Monday, May 14th, 2007

As I am the culprit for the cancellation of brewing tonight I believe it necessary that I defend my reasons. Yes, people are rioting on the streets of Atlanta due to the cancellation of brewing. In fact, I just found out that one brave gent flew in to Atlanta specifically to brew with us [...]

Captain Nosewater, the pirate hop

Monday, May 14th, 2007

In honor of the pirate-themed Swashchuckler IPA (and Anchorman), I’ve named the next hop sprout, a Cascade, Captain Nosewater. He’s just a little guy right now, but come October I’m going to put an eye patch on him. He’ll be the terror of the garden.

A grumbling congratulations to Stonch, May’s MNB pint glass winner

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

As promised, we’ve kicked off our monthly drawing for a pair of shiny MNB pint glasses.
Stonch, the fetching English bloke to the left, has unfortunately won. This is bad for two reasons. One, demand for these pint glasses has been more than we expected, and I think each of us fears his life as friends [...]
