Good by Old Friend...

Hey all,

The Barleywine has gone away for another year. She was tasting great for her last few weeks of life.

Now with the open tap we could put on the Imperial India Brown Ale. This beer is crazy hoppy. It is calculated at 60 IBU's but it tastes way more then that with a huge resin character coating the mouth after the swallow. Of course you have the dark crystal sweetness of a brown ale up front but then the hops take over. At 9% abv all you Hopheads be careful. This beer drinks like a brown ale with the alcohol/hop kick of an Imperial IPA.

Give one a whirl.

Cheers,
Tyler

Biere de Garde

Hey all,

The Munich Dunkel has gone away to be replaced with our Biere de Garde. This beer was cold conditioning for 4 weeks before it went on. Which really smoothed out the finish on this beer. It has some flavors of fruit and a sweetness that you would expect from a Belgian beer. Even though we didn't use a Belgian yeast strain! We are magicians down here in the basement :) I hope you guys enjoy this beer.

And for those of you who are still itching for some Munich Dunkel, we just taped our last cask of it yesterday night, so there should be some around for a little while longer.

Cheers,
Tyler

Going, Going, Gone!

Hey all,

I hope everyone listened and got one last 5 C's before she was gone. Since the 5 C's went away in record time once again, we put the Sierra Nevada Celebration back on to let the Biere de Garde finish out completely.

The cask of 5 C's kicked as well and we had an Oaked Barleywine cask that we had been holding on to for a bit that we thought i would be a good time to put it on. The oak we used was a medium toasted oak, giving a bit more of the tannic quality and less just raw wood flavor. Plus, there is a hint of the vanilla in there as you would expect. Yumm...

Cheers,

Anti-velvetization :)

Hey all,

The cask has changed from Stout to 5 C's IPA dry hopped with Simcoe. Thank you to all who gave their two cents on my cask question. The 5 C's on tap is getting low though, so if you haven't had a change to try it come on in and get a pint before she is gone.

I also updated the upcoming beer list so take a look. We have a good line up of beers coming, to back up the good line up of beers we have now at the P-Brew.

Keep you eyes open and your thirst ready for quenching.

Cheers,
Tyler

Take a breath

Hey all,

The Holiday season is over and it is time to take a breath and have a quiet pint.

It looks like everyone is enjoying the 5 C's IPA once again. The bartenders tell me that almost every other beer they are pouring lately is the 5 C's. So all of you hop heads out there keep and eye out for the Imperial Brown we have coming out soon. Charlie over at Smuttnose wanted to brew a batch here at the P-brew. So he came up with the recipe and brewed it here, using a whole bunch of hops. You are going to have to try it when it comes out.

The cask changed to the Black Cat Stout dry hopped w/ Saphir. I feel the stout casks always last longer then most casks we have here. Do you guys not enjoy the Stout on cask as much as a Stout off nitro tap? This is a random question i had in the back of my head, so I thought I would ask.

OK need to get back to it.

Cheers,
Tyler
