Where's the highschool French teacher when you need one...

Hey all,

So we made a new beer for this fall, a Fall Saison, which we used Butternut Squash in the mash and only spiced with a three peppercorn blend. I'm really excited to see how it is going to turn out. But now i want to name it correctly. With my English grammar/tenses already not my strong suit, how do you say "Fall Saison" in french?

Is is Saison Autumn, or Saison l'Autumn or Saison l'Automne, or has i missed it completely. Let me know.

Cheers,
Tyler

Uno, Dose, Tres... Catorce...

Hey all,

So that U2 song has always annoyed me. I know they were on a big South American tour when the song came out. I mean they were so big that Drama from Entourage finagled tickets to go see them during that tour. Go Aquaman! But any one that has pass 8th grade Spanish knows that they are saying 1, 2, 3... 14. Just one of those things that makes my neck tweak every time I hear it.

All that being said... Hop Harvest "Uno" went on tap last night! This is the Hop Harvest where we used locally grown Chinook Wet hops for. Big piney/spicy flavors with the resinous hop flavor helping enhance the malt sweetness

Cheers,

Get your Firkin drinking shoes on...

Hey all,

Firkin Friday is among us once again. Today we are tapping a Smuttynose Gravitation dry hopped with Saphir. The Firkin will be sitting on the end of the bar waiting for you. And we are using a technique from our brethren at Breckenridge Brewery. "Gravity activated pouring."

Cheers,

GABF beers in the house...

Hey all,

So this is the time of year the beers coming on tap are beers we are sending to GABF (Great American Beer Festival). So new additions to the tap line up are the Gose and the Kolsch. Both are being sent to GABF along with the Coffee Milk Stout (that is backing up the Milk Stout that is on tap now), Fruit Gruit and a Judge only beer of the Flanders Red Kreik Blend. Both brewers are not going to be present at this years GABF though. Since whom ever scheduled this year event didn't consult me and put it on the same weekend as my wedding! So we are sending Anthony, who is one of our fabulous bar tenders and Ben from the management team. Have fun for us guys!

Cheers,
Tyler
