How's the Hoppy Hefe? The Hoppy Hefe is brewed with German Weissbier yeast but shows no fruity or banana flavors and and no spicy clove or hints of lemon, bubblegum or vanilla you might find in a typical Weissbier, or in something like Hopfen-Weisse. With its dry, complex hop bouquet HH is a grassy...

oh come on, doesn't anybody think of the children anymore? :roll: Helen Lovejoy still does! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh2sWSVRrmo I think nanos are a neat idea but the time and effort to make 100 L of beer is the same as 1000 L, and will end up crushing your soul and eat your profits.

Vote for the Freedom Party! Viva la revolution! In all seriousness could someone explain the rationale behind the Liberal sales tax on Ontario-made beer? How can local brewers remain competitive?

FALL:

Pumpkin ales
nut browns
marzens
black IPAs
hoppy ambers/reds

WINTER:

Impy Stouts
Barley Wines
porters, stouts

Because they can indeed.

I'll add my $0.02. How can they charge $6+ for a tulip of a non-imperial house ale with a straight face?

Mmmm... sexy hops

Any word on what the four styles the participating brewers want to make?

Hazelnut Brown Ale
