Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!
That's a class act to come on here and explain to his loyal customers / fans exactly what is happening in terms of moving his production. It also ensures there are no misconceptions about why he is doing the move (not that an internet chat board would ever be the source of false assumptions or mis information ). Good luck on the move Michael, I hope it goes as smooth as possible. I look forward to drinking your beer all summer long.
Michael, I have yet to find a better weisse than yours, and I wish you all the best with a smooth transition to producing through Cool. My wife and I will continue to support your dream of a brewery by consuming as much weisse as possible, and I hope one day it comes to fruition.
Should be a great opportunity for Cool (brewing beers that us geeks like) and Denison's. Hopefully we'll see some more of the Dunkel. If all goes well, might we see the Märzen, Bock, Maibock and/or Helles resurrected as well? Even if they were only seasonals, that'd be great!
Is the old German Brewhaus set up for decoction mashing?
Can the Cool bottling line fill 500mL sized bottles?
Also, $80 a pin sounds like a heck of a deal. Have you ever considered renting out serving equipment? That'd be really COOL for personal events (pun intented).
I believe that's the only kind I make.
Thanks for all your comments and questions, guys. I'll try to get around to replying to them over the weekend, but some of my answers are going to be a bit vague.
Michael, congratulations from one of your most ardent admirers. Cool Beer has first rate equipment and QC. When Church-Key brewed my beer, it was bottled at Cool Beer and Jamie's approach was top-notch.
I wish you the greatest success and I hope that someday your world-beating Weiss will come out as far as Ottawa. In the meantime, I look forward to supping some the next time I'm in Toronto.
Cheers!
Perry
