Ommegang Gnomegang. The name pretty much had to have come up with itself. Courtesy of a kind soul at the brewery, a bottle found its way to me: Thanks Scott! This is a collaborative beer between Ommegang and, naturally, La Chouffe. I might’ve imagined … [...]

På fredag kommer årets påsköl, bara hör hur det låter “påsk öl”. Lagom efter jul ska man nu stå ut med ännu mer halvmörk öl (ofta med, nuförtiden häftiga amerikanska humlesorter som nämns på flaskan men sällan är värst påtagliga i s… [...]

Are they going to still have it on tap? What time will they pour? We have to get out there as soon as you are done with work! These were the common comments heard when discussing The Trappist last Friday. Dave and I made it out there by 5:45 to find that yes, Cantillon was [...] [...]
Apart from really liking what these guys do; which I do. I will also admit to ordering this beer due to it’s physical appearance; I hear you sigh; the sigh of shallow Deveney. The label gives me label lust and the bottle is equally as lovely. Now… [...]

The weekend before this last one (March 20th to be precise), I cooked up my 100th original recipe/batch of Hump’s brew. It finished fermenting in under a week.
