The blonde stout is off to final conditioning. A beautiful cacophony of chocolate, vanilla, and coffee this beer already has us excited. We added a hearty dose of cacao nibs to the back 1/3 of fermentation to add that distinctive chocolate character. To finish we added some homemade vanilla that had been started November 2025 and carries a wonderful deep vanilla nose and some dark brewed coffee to the keg. The aroma and late additions should carry nicely with the chocolate flavor. Just in time for football season it coming in at 4.2% ABV means this will not last long. BREW ON!

No filter. Just our Summer Wheat showing off by the fire. We added the cacao nibs a few days ago to the blonde stout which will be getting kegged this week. The Autumn Amber Ale still has a week or so before it will be ready to keg. BREW ON!

330pm Brew Day? Who are we? We’re back at it this Friday evening brewing up an Autumn Amber Ale. Another new recipe that we conjured up to mix in for fall without needing an Oktoberfest. With the addition of maple and vanilla the amber ale should have that perfect “ready for fall” feel. Not much to talk about here because everything went smooth. Even the numbers came in with a bullseye. Looking forward to trying this one and determining if our proportions were on their mark. BREW ON!

We’re back at it this morning brewing up a blonde stout. This is a style we thoroughly enjoy but never brewed in our own. So this morning we checked that off the list. The summer heat is pushing our cooling capacity to the max but we survived…barely. Once the yeast get past the point of no return we’ll be adding cacao nibs and wrap up with some vanilla and coffee at kegging. Our main goal is to just make a solid batch of this before we get fancy with it. All the numbers came in just about spot on (water absorption in the grains was higher than usual…but not horrible) and we’re already preparing for next week. We are either going to do a test batch or a Fall Amber. Stay tuned. BREW ON!

9:12am…a vibrant and flavorful beer…it’s gone. Luckily 9:13am is on tap and our Summer Wheat is ready to carry on the fight. We’ll get everything cleaned up and ready to go but the memory of 9:12am will carry on! BREW ON!

The barleywine is off to a four month sleep. This beer needs some time to recover and bring its best self out. Coming in at 7.5% we are very excited. Going into the keg a delicious aroma of sweet caramel and subtle raisin leads you on a journey where the malt to sweetness ratio is perfectly harmonizing on the palate. A slight alcohol burn chances these delicious flavors but should mellow out or dissolve completely as this beer matures. While we know there are months left on this beers journey it is exciting to know how much future us will be happy. We should have this on tap in late November. BREW ON!

We might have a problem. Seriously. We have not even had the carbonation hit this beer and we already have an idea for how to manipulate this recipe to make an even more epic beer. But, we digress. Meet our latest attempt at a Summer Wheat Ale that is blindly chasing a flavor profile we can’t even really define. We’re chasing a phantom here. It’s fun though. We scrapped the old recipes (great beers though) and tried again. The result is a delicious and approachable orange wheat ale. We hope the flavor is not overcome during carbonation because this would be a perfect beer to sip outside heading into August. And the clarity is impeccable! 5% ABV. BREW ON!

In a weird twist of beer…call it fate…Call it destiny…we don’t know…9:12am Beer and 9:13am Beer will be on tap next to each other. We kegged 9:13am today and it’s already giving a great feeling. Coming in at 5.5% we threw dolcita hops in and it’s giving peach and melon refreshing flavors with a lovely peach aroma. We are excited to get this into the rotation. As 9:12am bows out we have a summer wheat ale ready to pick up the banner. BREW ON!
