27.Brew Day #18 — Bee Sting Ale Revisited (www.bathtubbrewery.com)
Because the Bee Sting Ale was such a big hit with friends and family alike, we decided it should be one our our first true repeats (though I should note that Ray’s Ginpel recipe was based off of the Belgian tripel we brewed waaaaay back when). An...

29.BrewDog, No. (www.thebrewsite.com)
I’ve pretty much ignored the PR stunts of Scotland’s BrewDog because, well, they’re just that—stunts. But this is just offensively crude, in my opinion. I will never drink beer (or anything, really) from a bottle packaged in tax...

30.Moinette Blonde Belgian Ale (backyardbrewer.blogspot.com)
I happen to come across this beer after standing in front of the extensive beer selection at the local supermarket. I didn't have anything specific in mine, just browsing, scanning the display and wondering why beer seems so expensive these days.
Soon ... -
31.De Struise Pannepot Clone Tasting (www.themadfermentationist.com)
Last December during what was (at the time) the biggest storm since I moved to DC I brewed a beer inspired by De Struise's Pannepot. Pannepot is a big, dark, spiced beer that shows exactly what Belgian beer can be at its best (complex, drinkable...

32.Zucchini pancakes (www.brewcookpairjoy.com)
…or fritters, or whatever you want to call them. For sure, my favorite way to use up an overabundance of zucchini thus far. These savory cakes are so tasty and so easy to make that I cooked them up several times last weekend. So good! I actually ...

34.Brew Day #17 — Extra Fancy Brown Ale (www.bathtubbrewery.com)
I feel like the brown ale often gets forgotten in the melee of its darker cousins, the crazy bourbon, oaked-aged stouts and chocolate porters (not to mention conventional stouts and porters). Who wants a simple brown ale when they can get something exo...

35.Tasting Notes: Pannepot Clone by The Mad Fermentationist (www.lugwrenchbrewing.com)
Tasting notes always seem like the easiest thing to write down, but for some reason, I find them peculiarly difficult to wrap up into a blog post. Choosing the appropriate words is not the hurdle – its just breaking down my own inertial propensity for ...

36.Tasting Notes: Bourbon Barrel Wee Heavy by The Mad Fermentationist (www.lugwrenchbrewing.com)
In addition to the Pannepot Clone sent to us by Mike over at the Mad Fermentationist as part of our homebrewed beer exchange, we also received a bottle of Mike’s Bourbon Barrel Wee Heavy. With Tom being in town, we got the opportunity to taste the beer...

37.Oregon Brewfest (www.thebrewsite.com)
Sadly I’m not going to make it to the Oregon Brewers Festival this year, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been thinking about it: my last two posts on Hop Press were “field guide” articles, including my annual beer picks.

38.New Monday Night tees are here! Only $10! (mondaynightbrewing.com)
Okay folks. Our new American Apparel Monday Night tees are here. In three colors. I apologize in advance for the modeling. We’re hoping to find someone a little less stunningly gorgeous for future photo shoots. Tees also have a small “Monda...

39.Saison Ingredients (www.brew-dudes.com)
All right. Time to rock the Saison recipe. I have the hot weather to promote some high fermentation temperatures. Now I just need to buy the stuff. I am going with More Beer this time around. I need to buy a false bottom to go along with the 10 ga...

40.Monday Night recap: “How to take forever to fix a hose” edition (mondaynightbrewing.com)
We experimented with our signature Eye Patch Ale last night. We’re hoping these few tweaks (including both malts and hops) will get this beer to where we want it before we pull the trigger on launching. We’re adding a new hop, Amarillo, and...

41.Philly Beer Week (www.bathtubbrewery.com)
Yes, I know Philly Beer Week has come and gone. This year, the revelries took place Jun 4-13, with 195 participants and more than 1,000 successful events. Suffice to say, the event freaking blew up from 2009—which had 700 events over the course of 10 d...

43.Beer in Chicago (www.rooftopbrew.net)
Last week I had the good fortune to visit Chicago for work and was able to venture out and sample some local beers. I arrived late Sunday night and had a Two Brothers Domaine DuPage, a deliciously carmel amber ale with my dinner. But it was late so I s...

44.Quarter Keg For Homebrewing (www.brew-dudes.com)
My brother “acquires” items from time to time. I saw him yesterday and he gave me something he thought I could use.
A quarter keg:
I had some hesitations but took it anyway. He said he was going to throw it out if I didn’t take ... -
45.Sour Old Ale (Quick Oud Bruin?) (www.themadfermentationist.com)
One of the great things about running this blog is that every once in awhile a reader sends me interesting information (the occasional tasty commercial beers and homebrews are a nice perk as well). About a year ago I got an email (thanks Etha...

46.Brewing some good ol’ fashioned IPA tonight (mondaynightbrewing.com)
8pm. Jeff’s house. Brewing an Eye Patch Ale. Come join us. That is all.
Actually, one other thing. We have very little beer tonight, so if you feel like drinking, you may want to bring some of your own to supplement our meager stash. -
47.No-fuss zucchini uses (www.brewcookpairjoy.com)
Okay, to start off this zucchini crusade, here are the quickest, easiest, no-fuss ways of cooking zucchini. My most frequent usage of zucchini is to grill ‘em up. It’s incredibly simple. Slice them into spears and remove the seeds (you don&...

48.Nanobrewery Interviews: Wolf Hills Brewing Company (Part 3) (www.lugwrenchbrewing.com)
While most of us have toyed with the thought of starting up a nanbrewery, others have taken the plunge. To find out more about who these people are and what makes them do what they do, Jeff and I embarked on a series of interviews with regional n...

49.Fermenting In A Bag (backyardbrewer.blogspot.com)
I like to salvage and re-use yeast especially the Whitelabs liquid yeast that I prefer. Some of this yeast may cost me six or seven dollars a tube from my local homebrew store. Salvaging the yeast or brewing a new batch of beer and racking directly on ...
