I visited Beau's today, picked up a pair of Growlers: Festivale and Helles. Got some rad Mugs too.

If there is one phrase I hate it's "all natural". Doesn't all natural mean something just comes from the earth? So a beer could be 10% crude oil pumped straight out of the ground and still be considered all natural. Yeah, if you want to be pedantic, what most people mean, I assume, is the...

The haters, Fuck 'em.

Drink Craft Brew because it's fun to try new things, tasty and good to support communities.

You can give the cream ale a try at paddy's pub, on Bank, they are still going through the licences to get it up to Quinn's.

They don't know if they are going to do bottles, but growlers might be a possibility.

It was on the site on Friday! Central City Red Racer, Beau's Festivale Smashbomb(All fly...

Man, an internet forum is an internet forum, no matter how big, small, old, young or what the topic is. Like one of the prominent game forums I used to frequent, you guys take your hobby too personally. Sometimes, it's alright to cash out, but making a big drama kiss-off post is kinda lame. I think ...

I got a kit from Defalco's . It had all the stuff you need to get going. But you should also take a look at online auctions, as people quit home brewing all the time and you can probably find stuff to do it with pretty cheap. I've brewed about 3 batches from wort concentrate cans successfully. Thoug...
