The Brew Blog

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 know what you think! Share it with your friends, spread the news!

And, while I’m here, I should give you an update, I guess. We decided to create a seasonal batch (OK, two batches) of hard cider. We’re hoping that our Lionheart Stout can be our winter seasonal, and the hard cider can become our fall seasonal. Which leaves just spring and summer for us to come up with a special seasonal. Becky is hoping we’ll put together a Belgian White for our summer event. Anyway, we tried one cider with brown sugar as the additive and the other with honey. We’re using Champagne yeast with both of them. We’re anxious to see how they turn out. But, we’re going to have to wait a while. They’ve been fermenting for over a week and they are still bubbling strong. Looks like we’re going to have some high alcohol content on these!

We also have another batch of Kissing Trout going, as well as a brand spankin’ new recipe — we’re calling it Experiment 57. It takes what we like about the Kissing Trout, combines it with what we like from the Infrared, and we added a dash of some darker grains (Scoob really worked the recipe — he is the chemist after all!). It’s already done fermenting and during the transfer to the carboy it had an amazing aroma. We can’t wait to give it a shot!

So, check out the article today. We were very excited! Talk to you all soon!
