Now that we are wrapping up our time in California, I have begun to reflect on where it is I’m leaving and where it is I’m going. I do not keep it a secret that L.A. life really is not for me. Don’t misconstrue what I’m saying. After all, I’m going to miss the cultural [...]
“I don’t like it.” Who has not uttered this phrase? Chances are that you and every person you know has expressed this sentiment when tasting one food or another, even saying it about a particular beer. That’s bad, no good, this stinks, I’d rather swill brake fluid. Chances are that you and every person you [...]
Fifteen long months after brewing it, my Lambic finally reached its peak time for bottling.

Monetarily, it costs us time and money to maintain this site, BUT the relationships we’ve built make it a virtual gold mine. That being said, it’s pretty cool when you [...]
One week ago today, we announced that we officially launched our kickstarter campaign. We’re happy to say that the week went well: raising 21% of our goal in that time frame is an admirable start. We are truly grateful to each and every person who gave to the campaign. Many of our beer friends, family, [...]
I have been holding back on posting this for a long time. One reason is because I knew it would end up being a long article. For that reason, it will be broken up into several posts. Here is a short primer that we wrote quite a while back about Pilsner. The last among the [...]
