It’s 10.9 percent, but does not taste like it has that much alcohol. Malty and full or caramel, but a very balanced taste. This is an excellent [...] [...]
I pulled together a profile on Surly for the cover of this week’s Vita.mn, check it out. [...]
This ornately waxed IPA is borderline imperial strength in terms of hoppiness and weight. It has a buttery, bready nose; a touch musty, a touch sweet. On the palate it’s bold, bitter and means business, with a clean citrus bite that is tempered just en… [...]
Same day. Same seaside.The Uillenspiegelbier – the name alone! A strong 8% dark beer, with lots of brown spices and sugars. Nice. Strong. Brewed by van Steenberge. [...]
Little day-trip to the seaside. New beers. Yey!Viven Blond. I liked this beer. Blond and with some hints of honey and sweet malts (toffee?) – a nice clean blond beer. Brewed by the Brasserie van Viven (however seems it is brewed in the Proefbrouwerij) … [...]

A reliable supply of yeast for fermentation is a prerequisite for brewery operations. But what’s involved in making sure that your brewery’s yeast supply can be counted on? Supply of brewing yeast cultures to breweries within a multi-site brewery group presents many challenges. The objective is to make sure that all breweries within your group [...] [...]

Haven’t been here in awhile, have I? Thing is, I have been blogging elsewhere, and fairly schiziod about that even. But, hopefully I have my junk together and am currently blogging at Fungal Threads. It is not a site where I ponder beer exclusively, bu… [...]
This post is pulling double duty tonight (makes sense since I’ve been so lax in updating recently).

A few weeks [...] [...]
