BEER

Just a quick and dirty update to chew on, folks....



- Balticus is getting low so jump on it before it's gone!

- Wreckoning RIS is tasting fabulous and hanging in for a couple weeks or so yet. Check the barrel-aged version, it's a stunner!

- DIPA fermented on the 'Conan' (VPB1188) yeast strain is coming soon!

- I also have a Galaxy hopped S.M.a.S.H. lager in the pipeline. Should be a fun one!

- Our next beer dinner is March 31st @ 6:00 p.m.

HOP HASH For Firkin Wednesday!

Here we go folks, it's Firkin Wednesday again (as is every Wednesday).

Today at 4:00 pm we have a fairly unique firkin of Deadwood Wheat - I've utilized our lightest beer as a canvas to test a new product from a local hop farmer - Hop Hash.

You heard me.

Said Hop Hash has an iso-alpha acid content of ~ 37%, beta acid content of ~ 24%, and oil content of near 30%. The firkin has been dosed to the tune of 45 IBU on top of the 12 IBU the Wheat beer is calculated to during brewing of the beer.

The little wheat beer that could 'should' be 57 IBU now.

Will we perceive it that way? Will the beta acids kick our buds in the butt, perhaps they're not even part of the equation here? How will the oils come through in the finish? If there's as much oil as the lab analysis show then our buds in for a pummelling!

We'll find out today at 4:00 P.M., folks!


And here it is.....  sticky, stinky.... everything you'd expect of good hash!

It's Firkin Wednesday!

On the bar top today at 4:00 pm we have a cask of....

....Fathom IPA aged on oak.

Should be delicious!

DAY OF WRECKONING IS NIGH

Wreckoning - Russian Imperial Stout

Our next seasonal hits the taps Wednesday January 15th at 4:00 p.m.
Double whammy; Balticus is coming at ya too. Now that's a day of Wreckoning!

This one screams crème brûlée with roasted malts and dark fruit, quickly settling into an amazing complexity of serious flavour. Layer after layer; toffee, dried fruit, hops, vanilla, dark caramel and chocolate. Her luscious bouquet, vinous mouth-feel, alcoholic warmth and silky legs will leave you callin' for more, no doubt. Finishes with superb tannin balance.

Please enjoy.

Balticus Returns!

That's right!

We've waited for another taste of this one since 2012 when it was last brewed.

Balticus - Smoked Baltic Porter

Our latest seasonal hits the taps Wednesday January 15th at 4:00 p.m.

Mashing with 35% beechwood smoked malt lends a wonderful twist to our otherwise classic Baltic Porter; licorice, roasted malt, raisins, caramel, fruit, smokey phenols, malty richness, and oh-so-smooth.

Enjoy.
