Mid Week Round Up
Can’t believe it’s only Wednesday, surely it should be Friday by now, oh well. Monday at Victoria Gastro Pub was fun, thanks to everyone who came out. I was pleased with the way batch #1 of Hot Monkey Love turned out. You’ll see it popping up in a few of your favorite craft beer bars pretty soon (Judge’s Bench, Frisco Grille and Metropolitan have all taken delivery, more to follow). After last weeks 6 brew-day extravaganza we’re aiming for a more manageable 4 this week …. Ironman Pale Ale, Old Habit, Amber Ale and Best Bitter. Obviously there’s a lot of processing of last weeks brews to do as well. It’s sort of a case of musical brew tanks … as one batch is kegged the tank is prepped to make room for the next, which then frees up a conditioning tank for a batch from FV, which then frees up the FV for that days brew. Some days 3 or 4 seperate batches are criss-crossed around the brewery!
I’ve been filling a lot of firkins as well. 5 (Best and ESB) are going out to ChurchKey, 4 (Cherry Blossom Ale, Dry Hopped Blonde, 3 Lions and Dark Horse) to the 2 Pizzeria Paradiso locations and a firkin of Ironman Pale Ale dry hopped with Bramling Cross went out to Frisco Grille. Yummy!
Don’t forget that tomorrow night @ 5pm we’ll be pouring the super limited “My Monkey’s Got Wood” (only 1 firkin) and selling the equally limited t-shirt (only 27 available, $20) at the Pratt Street Ale House. The Monkey will be at the special price of $3 for a 10 oz snifter until 7pm. Come along and get some wood!
On the beer engine Thursday from 5pm
