Hey all,
So the Belgian Golden kicked 5 min before the 3:00 tour today. So with a little running around and some multi-tasking. I got the Grand Cru pouring with 30 seconds to spare. The Grand Cru is a very delectable beer. Big Belgian fruity nose with a medium light body rounding out to a sublime pepper finish.
Cancel the bowling trip tonight and come here to P-Brew to get one of these.
Cheers,
Tyler

Cruising Crenshaw in my El Dorado...
Hey all,
So we got in a new hop variety the other day and we though we should make up a few casks. We Just had the Imp IPA dry hopped with El Dorado on. I didn't post about it because with all the different hops in the Imp IPA it was a little hard to see what aromatic/flavors were coming just from the dry hopping. So we decided that a Dirty Blonde would be a nice blank palette to see what the El Dorado's are really all about. The Dirty Blonde Cask dry hopped with the El Dorado just went on, and OMG, hop-a-lish! EL Dorado are a High alpha hop (16%) so they make their presents know. They give the very lightly hopped Dirty Blonde a huge floral aromatic. It smells like you are about to drink an IPA. then when the beer hits your lips the light body of the Blonde comes through and you get some very nice fruity/spicy flavors off the El Dorado with just enough hop resin left to let the beer hang on your tongue for a bit longer then the Blonde normally does. i don't know of a better cask for you to try to get you psyched for NERAX next week! Since we are sending our Whipper Snapper (aka American Mild) dry hopped with El Dorado to it!
For those of you who don't know what NERAX is, it is the New England Real Ale eXpo that happened in Summerville MA every year. It is one of the best collections of Cask beer you are going to find in the world.
Check out all the buzz here http://www.nerax.org and i hope to see you all down in Summerville next week/weekend.

No more Rocket...
Hey all,
The rumors are true. The Bottle Rocket IPA is gone, not for ever, just for now. We are putting back on our Belgian Golden that we took off so that the Murphy's Law Red could be put on for St. Patty's Day. We only have about one barrel of the Belgian golden left so look for that to be changing up relatively soon as well.
Now as the weather starts to warm up and more and more people are going to be coming in to the P-brew, so the tap line up will be changing even more frequently then it has been. So keep an eye out on the blog for all the new beer updates!

Tyler

Everyones a little less Irish today...
Hey all,
So we slid on a special cask for St. Patty's day. It was the Murphy's Law Red w/ Bushmill Oak. I apologize for all out there that would have preferred the Catholic whisky vs. the northern Protestant liquor, but we had to make a choice between the two. With all that said it is sad for me to say that it is gone. So we are putting on the Impy IPA dryhopped with Columbus.
I'll take a little less Irish for a ton more hops any day!

OK.....now I'm back
Hey all,
So sorry for the delay on the post Kate day leaves a wake of things to do around the brewery that you would right home about. Thank you all who made the trip out on Monday and I hope you all had a great time.
Now i have gathered together the pieces, we are back up and running full bore! The tap line up changed tremendously in the past few days. We put on Bottle Rocket IPA and Imperial IPA alongside Kate on Monday. Kate lasted until 6:02pm, but the Rocket and Impy are still pouring happily and deliciously. So all of you waiting for the Bottle Rocket IPA to be back on, its time! We did make double batches of both of them so we are hoping that they will last for a little bit of time. Lagunitas Pils is pouring along side your favorites from Smuttynose. Which was a great aperitif as well as a great complement to Imp IPA farther down the tap line. We have a Belgian golden, which is almost a Abby single, but a little higher in alcohol and a bit more hoppy in the finish, but still very delicious. We have that on cask right at this second with some green peppercorns, but it is soon to kick and move to a ESB with Earl Gray Tea.
There is many great beer options happing right now and it is going to be hard to choose just one beer to get your lips around. So have two!

Rotation of the tap line
Hey all,
We are changing up quite a few things here at the P-brew for the beginning of March.
The Schwarzbier kicked last night and I put on our Weizen Bock to back it up. If you have had this bee in the past you are going to be expecting a Hefe-Weizen Bock. but this year we used just a lager yeast strain with no hefe yeast strain blended in. this give you a much cleaner beer with still some nice Bock malt flavors with the tart/clean finish that only wheat malt can give you. Not quite Aventinus but close.
On the horizon we are going to be changing quite a few more beers. For the P-Brew beers the aged Wheat Wine gave use enough time to get the Abby Ale (a.k.a Belgian Golden) ready for drinking. This is as easy drinking as you can get for the Belgian beers. Golden in color with a nice subtle spicy/fruity nose with clean sweetness across the tongue.
The guest tap for the month of March is going ot be taken up by the Lagunitas brewery. We are starting with their Pils. Which is great to see a Czech Style Pils coming out of a hop forward west coast brewery. This means that we will be replacing the Star Island line and bringing back you old favorite Smuttynose OBD.
OK back to transfer beer for you guys.
Cheers,
Tyler
