seasonal offerings
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
The Fall/Winter is without doubt my favorite beer making season. I love the winter warmers/barley wines/Christmas ales that come out around this time and of course I love brewing our own seasonal offerings. I’m delighted with the way my first ever pumpkin ale turned out (especially on cask) and it’s been a very popular beer, we’re already down to our last keg! If you haven’t already tried it, be quick, it won’t be around for long. I guess we’ll be doing it again next year and probably doing a double batch (14bbl) so it will at least make it through Halloween and hopefully even Thanksgiving!
Today we’ll be putting the Hot Monkey Love on tap (just as soon as the tap handles are ready). As I’m sure you already know, this cheeky monkey was brewed back in April and weighs in at about 10% a.b.v. It’ll be served in 10oz pours only (trust me, this is one monkey that can kick your ass!) so come along and share the love. The Hot Monkey Love will be on cask soon(see future blogs for details) and its Oak Aged brother “My Monkeys Got Wood” will have a very special release on Valentine’s Day 2010.
Coming up on Friday November 6th is my son William’s 8th Birthday so to celebrate we will be releasing the new 8% a.b.v. “William’s Winter Warmer” at about 1pm, come along, sing happy birthday, and try this wonderful ale. The following week we will aim to release “Merry Ole Ale”, a spiced Christmas Ale (6% a.b.v.) …. it’ll put some color in your cheeks and have you hearing sleigh bells before you know it!
Cheers!
