It ain't just good. It's Freaky Good!!!!


It isn't very often that I get all braggadocios about our beers.... Well, maybe I do. All I have to say is that E and I are starting to brew some beers that are "Freaky Good" or, should I say "Scary Good"?! As you know we have been brewing for a long, long time (since 1991) but, we are starting to turn out some beers that are on a level that is as good or better than many commercial brewers are putting out these days. This wheat beer is a perfect example of a perfect beer. I'm telling you.... It is really good! At only 3 weeks old, it is tasting like the best wheat beer you have ever had in your life! That ain't sayin' much, as wheat beers are gay but, I like making the fucking things. Not only that but, I have found that it is harder to make a good light beer than it is to make a good dark, full body, beer. It is harder to cover up the flaws. It is really cool when you can make a beer that looks and tastes as clean as this one does. Yet, it is malty and crisp with a perfect hop balance. It is time to perfect the pils I believe! This is as close as you can get to a pils when you are using 6 row malt and wheat. I have no idea how we get it to be so crisp and clear. It ain't filtered! It must be the protein rest or just the freakiness of our brewing process. Wicked, scary, good stuff!

The beer looks awesome, can't wait to have a few pints (if you don't drink it all first!). Remember, we need a couple kegs for the party.

Bingo. If you can win ribbons with a pilsner, Kölsch, etc, you're doing well. A lot of times just time and very cold temperatures will clear a beer nicely. Sometimes it's the yeast. And sometimes, you're just doing the right things.

Kudos!!!

I guess I was talking about the fact that it is a wheat beer and it is very clear. I always expect a wheat beer to be a bit cloudy. This one was clear in 3 weeks without filtering. Just seemed a bit odd.
