Lots of cool stuff going on the past couple of months. We are ramping up for a busy summer and I have been brewing beer like crazy. Our spring seasonal on tap is our ESB, which is my interpretation of the English style Extra Special Bitter. I really tried to stay true to the style by using all UK origin malted barley and UK hop varieties. Of course I added a couple of my own signature twists to make the beer my own. Overall I am very pleased with how the inaugural ESB batch turned out. I characterize the ESB with mellow bitterness(30-35 IBU), smooth and creamy, with a complex malt profile, nice soft hop finish, and a beautiful mahogany color. The ESB is a change from most of our hoppy offerings. Feedback from the customers has been very positive.
Brewing a batch of Ruud Awakening IPA this morning. Special thanks to my dad for making some much needed Amarillo hop pellets appear out of thin air. Looking forward to using some of those bad boys in this batch. Wish I could keep rambling on but it is time to go and clean a fermenter. Thanks again to all the beer lovers that make it possible for me to keep on brewing.
