Well, we found him! Perched atop Mt Wedge with a Bird in a Can in hand and rambling something about the southwest, hazy IPAs and some kind of flying contraption he hoped to test soon...and given the time stamp on the replies to our post place both Thomas Rodemann and James Abbott at exactly the same time we're legally obliged to supply both with two 4-packs of delicious Last Rites beer! These can be picked up from our Huntingfield brewery or we can send em' out using Cellar Door's in-house drone delivery system, though this will require that you roof has a load rating of 20 tonne and you don't reside in a residential neighbourhood...

Well, it’s been a wild ride, having hitched our wagons to Cellar Door’s star so many years ago we’ve witnessed and experienced things that we never thought were possible within not only the medium of beer, but often life in general. As is the way, however, when you entrust yourself to someone who doesn’t fully subscribe to societal norms the journey can’t last forever and it is with sadness we are passing on the baton of our Cambridge Cellar Door to a new crew. Fear not though, as the brewery and cellar door gatherings will continue unabated, so apart from a change of name, the vital service provided will carry on…and to help us make this transition, this week we have Robbies Wood Fired Pizza providing eats, while many of the old favourites will still be on tap…open from 2pm with food from around 4.30...

Show weekend is a hard time for Cellar Door, bringing back memories of what could have been. It was the early 80s, and a young, eager Cellar Door had spent his entire savings on a stall at the local show where he’d set up a small-scale brewing apparatus and was dazzling passers-by with the magic and wonder of fermentation. So successful was the show, that the following year he returned, this time loaded up with a commercial size brewery, complete with a full, working packaging line. Unfortunately, the logistics of the setup, the power drain on the local grid and the inherent problems of trying to can beer in what was essentially a field, proved too much and the quaint, novel wonder of the previous year's stall was lost to a chaotic and somewhat dangerous demonstration of industrial beverage manufacturing. Ultimately though, it was the fact that Cellar Door couldn’t fully explain the reasoning behind bringing a full-size commercial brewery into a rural show given liquor sales were prohibited, and the fact that the local brewery was only 150m down the road that led to the end of his show-going career. The show-circuit's loss though is our gain and so we’re open from 2pm this afternoon with food from Robbies Wood Fired Pizza at around 4.30…

In a precursor to his following years under the pseudonym ‘Lil’ Malt’ and his integral part in the revolutionary, yet controversial underground 'brew-rap' scene of the early 2000’s, when he released such seminal tracks as “brewed as f***” “huntin’ malt” and of course the classic “smack my yeast up”, he was a member of the underrated barbershop quartet “The Pocket Dockets”, known for their original harmonious tracks dealing with all facets of retail trade. While not as edgy or controversial as his later musical forays, the simple honesty of the group along with such songs as “do you have this in my size”, “excuse me sir, when do you close” and the heartfelt “I seem to have lost my receipt” still attract a faithful following to this day. So come on down this afternoon where we have our own form of retail trade in the form of beer as well as bunly goodness from our friends at Chan Bao. Open from 2pm with food from around 4.30...

Cellar Door was a big proponent of the ’Small Window Movement” of the mid 90’s, the idea being that as the window got smaller, the focus on what lay beyond increased and it was a major theme of many of his office-block designs of the period, some of which are now seen as modern classics of the post-panoramic era, if not quite as celebrated by those who unfortunately had to work within them. Sadly, much like the highly focused nature of the small window ideal, this afternoon we are full focused on our 12 taps of delicious beverages as we don’t have a visiting food truck, but, as they said back in the mid 90’s, the smaller the choice, the bigger the detail…

We pushed on, the last ‘comfort trail’ beverage keeping the moral up. We’d spanned out, focusing on what appears to be Cellar Door's latest interpretation of one ‘yojana’ of distance. The scree we found ourselves on was steepening, but the mist kept the true nature of the rocks ahead a mystery. A few in our party slipped back, nervous at what we would find ahead - while fleet of foot, Cellar Door is curious by nature and his notion of personal safety tends to skew as the excitement of the climb, and the tastiness of a hazy IPA or two take over. As the rocks loomed overhead, we slowly dragged ourselves up and over the escarpment, quietly hoping we'd find signs of Cellar Door’s ’summiting ritual’ which involves the construction of a number of cairns, a highly symbolic interpretive dance and, of course, the downing of a specifically chosen beer. Alas, though, while the cairns and a characteristic dance pad were found, the symbolic beer appeared to be untouched, and Cellar Door was nowhere to be seen. Subsequent searching revealed little else, so we had to descend from the peak and make out way home. It’s thus a sombre affair today as we await news, but, as Cellar Door would want, we are open from 2pm and have Mint Fast Fresh Food providing eats while we’re offering a cube of delicious Pale to anyone who can identify the rather bleak central Tas peak where Cellar Door’s celebratory beer was found...

He’s missing again, so it’s a short post this week as we again go in search of his ‘comfort trail’. Thus far we’ve tracked it to Mole Creek where we found a delicious can of IPA stashed next to the road on the outskirts of town, and given his predisposition to increase the size of the beer as he nears his starting point we feel we’re not too far away…in the meantime, we have Chan Bao supplying their bun-ly goodness tomorrow afternoon, while we will of course have our taps flowing…open from 2pm with food from. around 4.30...

Well, it’s been quite the frantic week. After the discovery of Cellar Door’s blog and the images of delicious beers being chilled in various alpine environments, along with some quite poignant and touching reflections into what it truly means to be “cold and happy”, we were still none-the-wiser as to his actual location. Thankfully though, while Cellar Door is not one to explicitly notify anyone of where he’s going, he does leave a “comfort trail”, as he calls it, consisting of full cans of delicious beer placed at intervals of one yojana leading from the brewery door. The choice of unit arose from Cellar Door’s time wondering the Beer Corridor of South and Southeast Asia and is based on his “translation” of Ashoka’s Major Rock Edict No. 13. Unfortunately, the vagueness of the edict, combined with Cellar Doors limited grasp of the Brahmi script has led to an ill-defined distance which is difficult to follow given the cans can be placed anywhere between 4 and 12km apart. Nonetheless, our dedicated team has spent the week following the path and we’re pleased to report a bedraggled Cellar Door was found on the foothills of Adamson’s Peak late last night, cold, wet, but in high spirits and eager to exploit the most recent snowfall for his blog…so, we’re back on this afternoon, with music from our friends Anita & Gary and pizza from Robbies Wood Fired Pizza…open from 2pm with food from 4.30 and msuic from 5...

Being the man of science that he is and having his long-standing fascination with the art of refrigeration, Cellar Door was often at odds with the whole “snow-chilled beer” movement. He could never fully understand their fundamentalist approach to cooling, one that involves, according to their website, “finding something cold, and putting a beer in it”. Over the years this wariness on Cellar Door’s part has led to numerous fiery debates and confrontations, including the infamous letter to the editorial section of Cold Things Magazine, where he berated the movement's founder, ridiculed their mascot, Chilly the Snowflake, and went on a seven paragraph missive into the fundamental nature of “cold”, the beauty of compressed gases and a deeper understanding of the true meaning of “hazy”. You can understand our surprise, then, when we stumbled across the blog “I’m high, I’m cold and I'm thirsty” espousing the many virtues of slowly cooling delicious beers in mountain snow prior to careful consumption and attributed to a certain C. Door. We’re not fully sure where the image was taken and given we haven’t seen Cellar Door for the last week or so if anyone has an idea and can help us triangulate his position that would be greatly appreciated and of course will be remunerated with a tasty 4-pack Last Rites Pale Ale. In the meantime, we’re welcoming back Taco Taco to the brewery this afternoon, pairing beautifully with all our tasty ales and lagers on tap. Open from 2pm with food from around 4.30...
