Brain Squasher Pumpkin Stout 7%

Pepper Ridge Farm

Pepper Ridge Farm

I was in browsing a local home brew store and had a conversation with the store owner about hot peppers.  He said that a local brewery he is friends with is looking for some hot pepper for a batch of beer.  I left the store leaving a bottle of hot sauce and a few peppers and my contact info.  About a week later my phone rings and it is the owner of Holy City Brewing and he tells me about a spicy pumpkin beer he has in mind, I tell him about some of the peppers I grow and we agree to meet up at his place of business the next Monday.  I show up with a large flat rate box stuffed with hot peppers and we talk and sample a few right there off the bar.  We then sample the uncarbonated pumpkin stout and he asks me how many peppers he should use for a 700 gallon batch, I said all of them.  I agreed to exchange the peppers for samples of beer and left the brewery with tons of free stuff(beer).

I am super excited and very proud to have contributed to the charity event and Zombie Pub Crawl and can't wait to see just how much the walkers really like hot peppers in their beer.  It is listed as a seasonal brew so really hope it gets great reviews and spicy beer is a big hit in the tap room.  The official zombie beer of Pint of Hope Zombie Pub Crawl benefiting the Lowcountry Aids Services.  Yay team Brain Strain! :dance:
