Brewers Blog March 2011

Temperatures are on the rise and it looks like spring may be on the way.  The brew is going quite well, the 2011 Barleywine is taking form and a new batch of Imperial Stout is coming along nicely.  A new batch of Ruud Awakening is a-brewin and I am looking forward to trying some of the new Falconers Flight Hop Blend, which is a special blend of choice IPA hops(simcoe, amarillo, citra, sorachi ace, and more).  Been out on the river steelheading with my younger brother Evan, with the warmer temps we have been doing quite well.  I am very excited to hit up some of my favorite breweries during the upcoming brewery circuit me and steph are doing in April.  Last year we had a blast and drank tons of quality beer.  Our top beers last year came from Rogue, Deschutes, Ninkasi, and Pelican.  We will definetely be hitting all these breweries again and hoping to find some good ones we missed on our last trip.  Had a couple of stand out brews this month, Deschutes Jubel 2010 and Full Sail Black Gold.  Cheers-
