Hey all,
No, those are not Roman numerals. HHII stands for Hop Harvest II, which is on! Come on in and give it a whirl then let me know what you think of the Citra hops. The Citra are a new hop variety for us and we used 120 lbs of wet Citra's in a 14bbl double batch. Oh ya!
Cheers,
Tyler

Hop Harvest I is on...
Hey all,
Thats right HH1 has made it on tap replacing the Whipper Snapper. Sad to see that beer go, but excited for the HH1. this years Hop harvest one is made with an locally grown east coast hop called MX-1. Our hop farmer says that he can trace the linage of this hop to the orgigal hop that the Pilgrims brought over from england with them. So it is very much like the earthy british hops you might be thinking about. But the hop resin flavor sticks with you loooooong after the swallow. It the best way i can think of describing it is a Super ESB.
The Citra Hop Harvest II is almost ready so keep an eye out for that you hop heads out there.
cheers,
Tyler

2 medals at GABF for P-brew!!
Greeting beer lovers,
We just received great news from Tyler, from Denver, that we garnered two medals at the Great American Beer Festival!! Horray! The Rye beer took a silver and the Milk Stout took a bronze. We are very excited about this news. I know we will be brewing the Milk later in the fall and we'll be rethinking our brew schedule for another batch of Rye. We were playing with the idea of brewing a bigger version of the Rye,,,,, like perhaps a Rye Wine????? or maybe just our Winter Rye. Who knows. Maybe we'll put in Rye just like the one we won with. Anyway, we are quite pleased with this news. Come on in a raise a glass to the hard working boys who made it thru the summer and still found the where-with-all to get some bling at the big dance. Cheers! Todm

Kate Day 2011 Announcement
Howdy all,
Even before the dust settled on this year's Kate Day, we started getting inquiries from folks who wanted to know when next year's Kate Day is scheduled to take place. Here, finally, is the date we've selected for the release of Kate the Great Russian Imperial Stout:
Monday, March 7, 2011.
There will be some significant changes to the way we manage the sale of bottled Kate, and we'll release details about that in a few weeks. Stay tuned!
Cheers,

A new week brings new beers...
Hey all,
We lost the Summer Rye and Weizenheimer over the weekend. We replaced the summer Rye with the Witt^2, which is the imperial version of our Wit. We have a couple of lagers in the works, so we thought we would try to hold on to summer as long as possible by putting on a few kegs of Smuttynose's Summer Weizen. This American Wheat beer has a late kettle addition of Chamomile. So soothing, like Sleepy-time tea. Come on get a pint while summer is still here!
Also i am gearing up for the trek to Denver for GABF (Great American Beer Festival). I am leaving early Thursday morning and will be back late on Sunday. I haven't been out to GABF since 2007, when i brought back the medal for the Wheatwine that is hanging in the up bar. We will have to see if i bring back anything this year?
Cheers,
Tyler

WOW! IPA Bomb in an out fast!!
Greetings Beer lovers,
That was a super fast IPA hop Bomb but they usually are! Gone in less than 24 hrs! So, Tyler played with his Gose and dry herbed it with some fresh rosemary..... and it is firkin' awesome. Do check it out on cask before it is gone. All it needs is some hops!!(Yuk-Yuk!) The Rye,Weizen,Whippersnapper and Gose are all tasting nice. Have a great EARL and even better Labor day. Cheers! Todm
