beer Being Crafty

Glad you digged the sour. I'll probably brew another sour very soon, once I bottle up one of my other sours. I have blackberry sour fermented with Brett/Lacto/Pedio/Saison Sacc that is tasting very nice right now. I just need to clean up some bottles, and bottle it.

It's interesting because I actually liked the passion fruit one more this batch than the last batch. The mango is still my favorite out of all of them. There is a peach one as well, that I still haven't been able to get my hands on.

Are there some good sour threads on HBT? I'm just starting to read that book and I'm realizing that it's way more involved than I realized. Looking for some supplemental reading.

Are you going to try to brew one? I have been enjoying the one I picked up from Carton.

Definitely planning on it. Probably going to start with a Berliner or Gose. I've had a few recently that I've really enjoyed. Especially with the summer weather.

I've read extensively on milkthefunk, plus listened to multiple podcasts from Michael Tonsmeire, Michael Dawson, Mike Mraz, etc...

I have also watched sooooo many of DanABA's videos on Youtube. I really like his experimental approach to the whole sour brewing thing.

My last can of this one. It was great while it lasted! One of these days I will hopefully be able to get the peach variant.

I haven't tried that one. Their 7 hop IPA is pretty good. The 4 hop IPA is good too.



 

Perfect summer beer.

That one is on tap at almost every taphouse around. I'm itching to try some.

That IIIPA is a sneaky SOB! I took some of those cans with me to SLC last month, and everyone agreed that it drinks like a silky smooth standard IPA, but kick like a mule. I crushed a can of that before going on a mile long hike up a snow covered mountain. I didn't even feel the cold...

Nice pie, BTW!

HB coffee chocolate porter I brewed last winter. It's still very mocha, despite 6 months in the bottle.

My neighbor came through clutch. He passed me a couple of cold bombers over the fence while I was watering my squash plants. He owns another house in Staunton that he rents out, and grabbed me a few beers from the local brewery out there.

This is a an IPA. Pretty solid, malty for it's style, but super crushable.

The color on that is epic. Looks great.

I know where I'm stopping after work!

This is a mighty fine DIPA, thanks FB!

My wife picked upba bomber of this for me, and I'm glad she did. It's ridiculously good. Tart, with a mild salinity for it's style, but an absolute rasberry bomb. Definitely the best beer I have had from this brewery.
