Batch 35: Slay Our Demons Witbier
Batch 34: Skip in the Dark CDA
Batch 33: Ploughshares to Swords
I just noticed that the name of this beer is consonant-heavy. Can a beer be consonant-heavy? Anyway, we are embarking on a quest into Saison territory!! (should I say terroir?) Inspired by a number of various recipes on homebrewtalk.com, and given my current compliment of ingredients, I present to you (for camping consumption in the […]

Batch 24: Pixelated Pumpkin Ale
Last time I did this, I put the pumpkin in the boil. This time, I’m trying the pumpkin in the mash. All else should be equal regarding ingredients!

They will name their line of […]
