Hello out there in Merry’d Men world! Today is the opening day of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Yes, not only are we big beer fans, but we’re also big soccer fans as well. And frankly, what kind of blog would it be if an entry on the first day didn’t have something [...]

OK, so, we didn’t win any awards. But, how do we feel? Actually, we feel really good about the results. And why is that, you may ask? Well, read on, and see what you think.

Wow! Has it really been since January that we had our last post? That’s just wrong, isn’t it? Where did all that time go? Well, we certainly didn’t stop brewing, but we’ve had to squeeze it in between our other life activities — work, kids, family… So, I guess I should at least give a [...]

It’s been way too long since the last post, so I need to get everyone caught up on the goings on.
Well, we continue to brew…and drink…and share our passion for well-crafted homebrews. We’ve started to branch out a bit in terms of our experiments, bringing two batches of hard apple cider through the process. [...]

I won’t take too long, but I couldn’t not tell everyone! Spread the news, we had our first press coverage today — and we can’t even sell anything yet. The local alternative newspaper (Seven Days) wrote a short piece about us today. You can check it out here: http://www.7dvt.com/2009booze-news.
Take a look and let us [...]

Tonight we moved the two batches from the fermentation tanks to the carboys. These batches, just to keep everyone up to date, were a batch of the Infrared (one of our staple brews) and a Belgian Wheat (as yet un-named).

Much merriment as the latest brew session kicked off. We started by pouring a glass of wine made by Charles’s friend, Marty. He made up a batch of chardonnay and asked the Merry’d Men Brewing Company to taste and give a comment. As we tried that, we realized it is a solid effort. Good clarity [...]

As some of you may know, Scot and the fam just went back to our old stomping grounds in the St. Louis, MO area. Saw family and friends and had a great time! We went back to Mizzou for a day, but we didn’t make it back to Flatbranch, unfortunately. We used to go there [...]
