This month Head Brewer David brews a Ferocious IPA, a kit donated to us from Midwest Supply.  We also taste the Rocky Redhead, which was our stein beer from January. Download Podcast Video

This month we’re brewing a Maibock.  Matt was supposed to be the Head Brewer, but unfortunately, his work kept him from attending the meeting.  Luckily, he was able to provide the ingredients prior to brewing.  So Noel took over as Head Brewer in this double decocted maibock Download Podcast Video

We start 2013 with an exciting style of beer.  The mighty Stein Beer.  Watch as we heat up rocks and dump them into the wort. It was a learning experience that we all had fun with.  So much fun, that we plan on making the stein beer, an annual event. Download Podcast Video

It’s the last month of 2012 and we’ve decided to finish with a big beer.  Head Brewer Jeff is brewing a barleywine named Mutt Ass Barleywine.  We also taste a selection of home-brews by Noel to include Sour Berlin, Ornery Saison, Gretle’s a Bitter Bitch IPA and Columbus Day IPA.
