This is the Dunkelweizen that is currently in my primary. I plan on serving this beer at a Knights of Columbus dinner in November.

My Cascadian Dark Ale (Black IPA)

I placed this in Beer Tools as a Specialty Beer. I do believe that a BJCP category for CDA or Black IPA is in the works, or may have already been published.

It's Here!!

My first All Grain kit from Northern Brewer has arrived today!  I can't hold my excitement for much longer.  The only downside is that my job has me out of state until late Friday night!  I guess that means I need to finally get this mash tun kit put together that I bought from a fellow home brewer, and get ready hopefully for a Sunday brew session!

All for Brew, Brew for All!

First AG kit on the way

Yes! My first All Grain kit has shipped from Northern Brewer! I can hardly contain myself!

Review: Sam Adams Rustic Saison

First, not at all what I was expecting. It was a very crisp, and great finishing beer. Extremely thirst quenching, as well as satisfying of that wheat beer need. I loved it, and wish it had a six pack of it's own! Today in my area it's only available in the summer style's variety pack. I rate it 4.5 mugs out of 5.
