Is that not the most repetitive title to a post yet? I wonder if New Glarus is in New Glarus County...or maybe Wisconsin county. Anyway, this is simply an incredible beer. Stan and Daria brought it to us when they visited this summer. Once upon a time, I had a small old farmhouse and it was near a small cottage owned by another branch of the family. We had pin cherries, black cherries and choke (or is it choak?) cherries as well as juneberries and other bush fruit we planted over the years. Small bush fruit in the cherry family is the best - all relating to but not being defined by that toothpaste, cough drop or pie filling flavour that gets associated with the word "cherry" these days. This beer reminds me of the complexity of those natural flavours. read more »

One of the things I love about beer is that every beer and brewery has a story, and sometimes the story is as interesting as the beer itself. That is the case with the Hook Norton Brewery, located in Oxfordshire County, England. The brewery is one of the last remaining Victorian 'tower breweries' and they have been brewing at the site since 1849. Even more interesting, the brewery still employs the use of a steam engine that has been running for almost 110 years. It is believed to be the oldest running steam engine in England that is still used for its original purpose. And if that is not enough history and charm, they also have shire horses that deliver the beer in the local area. If I were visiting England, this would be high on my list of places to visit. read more »
I love surprises as much as anyone, and when I recently came across Founder's Breakfast Stout, described as a double-chocolate coffee oatmeal stout, I became weak in the knees.
I made a nice amber ale on Wednesday (day before thanksgiving) and I used Safale US-05. According to my notes, it's the first time I have used dry yeast since November of 2000. It's been awhile. This amber is fermenting nicely the aroma coming from the airlock is excellent. I asked about reusing this yeast in another thread and got a lot of Why? Dry yeast is cheap! and I totally understand that. But this is the only neutral strain I currently have in the house (no 1056 or WL01) and I would like to make something else with this yeast next week. There is going to be a HUGE blob of this yeast at the bottom of the primary and I hate to see that much healthy yeast go to waste. What do you guys think? read more »
