Pilot Batches

In our neverending effort to bring new, interesting beers to the table, Tyler and Jay have been spending the week working on some small pilot batches of newly created recipes to see what turns out worthy of a full Bruery batch.  Brewing 10 gallons is much easier than brewing 10 bbls and can lead to some interesting new techniques as seen below...

We can't yet reveal what went into that beautiful wort, but if all goes to plan and it tastes as magnificent as we hope, you'll all get to try this and other new recipes soon enough.

 

Thank You!

As many of you know, this past Saturday we held our First Anniversary Party at The Bruery.  Over seven hours, kegs were drained, BBQ consumed, and chocolate-covered bacon demolished; all in some really great company.  Throughout the course of the day, we had about 400 of our friends come and celebrate with us!  We had an amazing time, and we hope you did too.  

We want to thank all of you who were able to make it out and everyone who has supported us over the past year.  We're looking forward to our 2nd Anniversary!

Here are a few pictures of the event.  You can also check out some great pictures that our friend Paul has posted.

Perhaps we'll have another one as well.  Should be a good time, especially if you missed out on the anniversary party or didn't get to try all of the beers.

Tap List for Our 1st Anniversary Celebration

I thought I'd leak the list rather than keeping you in suspense.  We're tapping some pretty cool beers.  Rather than commenting on which ones I'm digging the most right now, I'm curious what you think once you've tried them tomorrow.
