"Three Ladies" is in the bottles! :-) It's a session ale that came in at just over 4.5% ABV and a nice amber color. It will be conditioned in the bottle and ready for sampling in a couple of weeks. Perhaps it should be a Mother's Day debut?

"Three Ladies" is now in the secondary fermenter. Bottling in a couple of weeks and sampling a couple of weeks after that!

Brew Day at Northern Lights! "Three Ladies" Irish Red Ale is on the production schedule today. Using U.S. hops (Willamette and U.S. Goldings) for our own special twist on the traditional recipe.

Beer is in honor of three ladies very important to the brewery (and the brewer!): Mary, Kay and Eileen.

Beer specifications for Irish Ale (9D): http://bjcp.org/2008styles/style09.php

Aroma: Low to moderate malt aroma, generally caramel-like but occasionally toasty or toffee-like in nature. May have a light buttery character (although this is not required). Hop aroma is low to none (usually not present). Quite clean.

Agree or disagree with his politics, you've gotta love a president with a home brewery set up in the White House :-)

President Obama likes beer — so much so that the White House has installed a new feature since he took office: a brewery.
