The Bar Towel

One last thing before I thrown out of the brewers club. Morgon is easily the second best Beaujolais. Beaujolais Nouveau is an innovative way to sell fresh grape juice. As Jancis Robinson said:" it has the distinct aroma of cash flow". No more wine talk, at least on this forum. Besides, bee...

Gamay is the only grape permitted in real red Beaujolais. (The white is Chardonnay). Most of the regular Beaujolais are cheap and cheerful wines made by carbonic maceration (whole berry fermentation) and are made to be consumed while young. There are serious Beaujolais from the 5 crus, the best bein...

Because of all the bulk wine and spirits the SAQ brings in, the have the best QC lab in Canada as pertains to beverage alcohol.

Damn near made it too!

There is no truth to the rumour that I used up all the hops in North America. But I will someday...

Hops are a commodity. The big brewers hedge their bets by buying futures and contract for large amounts. That said, even they will have to pay a lot more. Its just that they use so little...

I can brew up a couple more firkins for interested licensees (you know the usual suspects).

The a.b.v is 5.2%, the IBU are 40 and. O.G.: 1.055 F.G.: 1.016. Malts: Marris Otter, Carapils & amber.
Hops: 100% Hallertau Mittlefrüh. The beer is completely unfiltered and unfined.

Is that a polite way of saying " The more I see people, the more I like my dog"?

I am just putting the final touches on the Perry's Atomic Punkin' today. It smells and tastes like pumpkin pie...with cascade hops. Alcohol is 6% and it should be around 50 IBU. Nutmeg, allspice,cloves,cinnamon and ginger are all present too. A great deal of pumpkin was used in the mash as well. My ...

Yes, a pink and purple number, with a feather boa..no wait that was his cousin, colonel Bi.

Tuqueboy Imperial Stout eh? Hmm, is that name trademarked

Thanks Shintriad. These kinds of festivals allow the brewers to have a little fun and be inventive without the risk of financial ruin.
I appreciate your support, as well as the support of your fellow Bartowelers.
