Re: Cask Days 2015
that's why most breweries probably pre-carbonate and just rack to casks. more controlled variables, less risk of gushers. If that is what is being done, it is disappointing as that is not cask beer. Might as well serve it from an amphora. Just my opinion though. As mentioned, cask conditioning is n...

I'd love to see anything else about this. Links to the documents rather than just hearsay and unnamed sources. The AGCO doesn't care if you are zoned manufacturing, they don't care about zoning at all. Zoning is what the city cares about and the issue is there is no mechanism in the current zoning ...

So I am curious what people think about this. If you are Elysian and you want to sell, who could you sell to other than someone huge like A-B (assuming you don't have family or employees who could take over)? Not sure how much they sold for but for reference Goose Island sold for around 40 million ...

But to answer the first question, I really hope we can brew! As someone who has done this, don't be stupid enough (I was) to tell the city what you are doing or else you won't be brewing until you get cleared by the committee of adjustment and an army of building inspectors. Looking forward to tryi...

sassafrass is available at all herb stores on the danforth. its carcinogenic properties were exaggerated. I've always felt that the carcinogenic properties were exaggerated, but as I understand it it is still not permitted in commercial versions of root beer. Could be wrong though. The stuff availa...

2. local breweries - i didn't have one GLB beer and there were only 2 Bellwoods beer on cask. Amsterdam had only 3, i believe. kind of thought/expected to be blown out of the water quantity-wise on the local stuff. Personally, I'll take quality over quantity. Amsterdam's Full City Double Tempest wa...
