How about this HOT weather?

Hello Beer Lovers,
Well, I hope you all like steamy hot weather during your workdays and beautiful cool awesome weather during the weekends 'cause that's the pattern we're in! And I like it!! So, we gave you the 5 C's and apparently you like it, too, cause it is almost gone!! :{(. But we'll try to keep the beer flowing because it is prime beer drinking weather. So, get outside and enjoy this fine New England weather before it turns on us. Cheers! Todm

The aftermath...

Hey all,

One Keg of Kate sends ripples through the brewery. I want to congratulate the person who got to try Kate for the first time. That is really why we do the surprise random release of a keg here and there. To give some one who has never tried it the out of the blue chance to give it a whir, and of course to let the locals beable to enjoy a glass sitting at the bar and relaxing like the old days. So, along with the Kate kicking in the 2.5 hours is lasted on tap, the Wit and the Bottle Rocket IPA kicked yesterday too.

So here is the new beer line up. Bottle Rocket was replaced with one long of Smuttynose Robust Porter (while it lasts) and it will soon be changing to the Smuttynose IPA. The Wit changed to the Weizenheimer. Plus we put on 5 C's IPA to replace the Kate line. So if you haven't been here in 24 hours we have almost a full change on the beer line up!

Cheers,
Tyler

cheers,

Kate is on...

Hey all,

The title pretty much sums it up. The Sierra Kegs kicked last night so we had one keg of Kate that we thought we would put on. What better to follow and Imperial Stout then an Imperial stout.

Happy hump day.
Cheers,
Tyler

Some beer to tide you over...

Hey all,

So the Summer Rye (aka Rye Not) kicked yesterday. So we decided to pull some kegs that we had hanging around out for you guys. We put on the Sierra Nevada's Imperial Helles Bock. It is the second collaboration beer for Sierra's 30th anniversary. Amazing to see a lager come out of Chico for one. Plus its hop character is so subtle and well balance. Very interesting beer. Behind that we have some of the Sierra's 30th anniversary Imperial stout for you guys to enjoy once again. So come in and enjoy one of these beauties off the tap.

Cheers,
Tyler

The IPA paradox

Hey all,

Summer time here at the P-brew is always and exciting time and since you guys are in love with the Bottle Rocket IPA I felt i need to explain the paradox.

We brew double batches (14bbl) of this glorious elixir to try to keep it on tap all the time. A batch of IPA takes at least 14 days from brewing to being ready to serve on the taps. This give us 2 serving tanks worth of IPA for service, and allows us to brew a new batch of IPA.

So here is our dilemma, The first serving tank of the IPA that is on tap is almost gone and it has been on for 6 days. The back up IPA always has less in it since that is what we bottle off of to keep the 22oz in the store. Since we are brewing the IPA today it is going to need 14 days to be ready. With the second serving tank of Bottle Rocket IPA going on soon I am not sure how long it is going to last.

So long story short, we are most likely going to have to have some Smuttynose IPA on tap in the near future to let the Bottle Rocket that we are brewing today finish. I mention this because of all the comments on Facebook about us having Smuttynose IPA that happened the last time we put it on. I agree with you that I would rather have our Bottle Rocket on too! But I felt that I owed all you loyal P-brew fans an explanation so you know what is going on when you see Smuttyones IPA come back on tap.

Cheers,
Tyler

P.S. The Black Cat Stout kicked last night and now we have Oatmeal Stout on. Yumm!

Dunkelthaizenweizen.P.A

Hey all,

So I invented a new drink. You blend the Dunkelweizen, Thaizenheimer and Bottle Rocket IPA in one glass. I call it the Dunkelthaizenweizen.P.A.

The truth is that I really didn't try to blend them together. It most likely wouldn't taste that great. But if you really want to you could blend them since all three of those beers are now on tap here at the P-brew. Tod's Professional opinion, "I wouldn't suggest it. I would try one of each on their own"

Don't forget Firkin Friday is coming up this Friday! So get get ready for some tasty gravity poured pints served right off the bar upstairs.

Cheers,
Tyler
