Party like it's 1999...

Well 1999+11=2010. The artist formally know as, who now changed his name back to, Prince is still in all of our hearts. Is the decade we are entering called the 10's? Or do we have to add the two thousand and 10's? I'm so confused.

Well, since the blue moon happening tonight, which is changing peoples moods, the beer has to change as well!

The Sierra Celebration has been replaced by our 5 C's IPA! For those of you following the blog that have never had the 5 C's, it is our version of a "west coast" IPA. Citrusy, bold and delicious.

The Winter Rye is gone but is replaced by our Munich Dunkel. This is a beer that Tod though up after visiting Germany a few months back. It is a Dark (Dunkel) German lager. It's one if the few lagers we are able to do, and this one got all the time it needed in cold condition. It has some nice sweet biscuit flavors with a smooth finish of a lager. It pairs so nicely with the Brat-Burger on the new brewers table... Yumm.

And of course the cask changed as well. We just put on a Black Cat stout dry hopped with Bravo. Bravo is a hybrid of Nugget and Zeus, so it has the the flavor intensity of both with a combo of the spicy/pungent aroma of the mother hops.

Happy New Year!

Tis the Season...

Hey all,

Just wanted to tell everyone to have a save and happy holiday from the brewery to you. And for those of you coming in for lunch today, might i suggest to come a bit early. Say 11:37ish, and I would walk in through the store if i were you. :)

Happy Holiday from the Brew crew.

Cheers,
Tod and Tyler

Growler Time

Hi all,

I wanted to let everyone out there know that we did get our shipment of growlers in. So we are back to normal on the growler front. You can buy new ones, exchange old one, all in time for some last minute holiday shopping.

The Cask changed yesterday to the Saison l'hiver which we added pink peppercorns and rosehips. The peppercorns give a unique spicy flavor while the rose hips are a nice subtle fruity, almost strawberry, flavor.

Cheers,
Tyler

Hoppy Holidays

Hey all,

Since there is on a few days of shopping left we thought you you could use cure for your Holidaze. We took off the Winter Rye and put the Holidaze Porter back on tap so you all can enjoy it for the holiday season.
Cheers,
Tyler

I.P.C.O.H.

Hey all,

Today is the Imperial Pint Club Open House. There is going to be food and drink down at the Jimmy Lapanza for you Pint Clubbers all day! Hope you guys (and gals) have a great time today.

Cheers,
Tyler

Couldn't wait any longer

Hey all,

The Holidaze has been put on a holiday for a little while. It isn't gone for this year yet, just for a little bit. We were like little kids waiting to be able to open the presents under the tree, starring at the full serving tank of the Saison l'hiver. Then we decided we have the power to put it with out getting coal in our stockings, so we did. Just in time for the Winter Solstice.

This beer is has the spicy and fruitiness you would expect from a Saison, though just bolder all the way around. There is an almost coriander flavor to the finish of the beer. But we didn't put any in it! Belgian yeast and your crazy esters, how we love you.

Cheers,
Tyler

Back in Black...

Hey all,

We have a stout back on, there was a few days of no stout here at the P-brew. I guess you guys liked the Milk Stout this time around:) The nitro tap now is pouring our Oatmeal Stout which is full of flavor and body as it always is. For all of you pint clubber's out there that are coming in for your x-mas party on Wednesday we made a special pin of the Oatmeal Stout for your lips only. I hope you enjoy it.

We just added the Big A IPA from Smuttynose to our Brewers' Cellar bottle list. A big, bold, Impy IPA for your enjoyment. This years Big A will please any hop-head out there.

It's a big cellar day for me here. Sanitizing/purging serving tanks, moving beers around and cleaning the fermenters they came out of. There is a lot of janitorial parts in a brewer's world, but it makes the beer go round and round.

Cheers,
Tyler

Brewers' Cellar

I forgot to mention the new additions to our brewers' cellar bottle beer list.
We have had the Chimay series going for a month or two now and it seemed to be doing well. We have added 4 new beers, (and soon to be adding more).

Duvel
Rare Vos
Hennepin
Three Philosophers

So you can enjoy some other great beers along with your food now too!

Cheers,
Tyler

Winter is comming?

Hey all,

The keg of aged Wheatwine gave us a nice buffer to let the Winter Rye finish conditioning. So i am sorry to say we are going to lower our average ABV%, but the Winter Rye is on and tasting great. Rye malt has some similarities to wheat malt. Giving the beer a nice tartness and a bit of haze. Though, the rye malt has a much higher b-glucan level which effects the body of the beer making it much more mouth coating and full on the pallet. Come on it and give the Winter Rye a whirl.

The cask had changed over as well to the Bottle Rocket IPA dry hopped with Columbus. You have to love Columbus! Bold and Spicy!

Cheers,
Tyler
