Stone's Epic Porter new on draft This beer pours deep brown with a thick, frothy, creamy head of tan foam.
Begins with chocolate roast malt character and vanilla. The vanilla accentuates the chocolate nicely. Layered in are banana esters, and hints of clove, and then the finish is a bit stronger on the oak with hints of molasses and citrus from the tangerine peel.

Austrian Honig(honey)Bock just in

Try and find this keg somewhere else.

The Gose is gone!

Leipziger Gose actually originated in the small town of Goslar {state of Lower Saxony , Germany}. Leipziger Gose was already first mentioned around 1000 AD under Emperor Otto III. Like many other beerstyles {such as English Imperial Stouts and German Bock biers} the Goslar breweries of Leipziger Gose had to look elsewhere for a bigger market. They found those in the trade towns of Halle and Leipzig, about 100 miles East, where Leipziger Gose appeared around 1738 for the first time. By 1900 Leipzig boasted over 80 Gose houses.

The spread of the bottom-fermenting pilsner style as well as economic decline of East Germany under communist regime contributed to the demise of the Leipziger Gose which was last brewed in the mid 1960s.

On July 20, 2000 Thomas Schneider {no relations to the Schneider Wheatbeer brewery in Kelheim, Germany} revived the brewing of the Original Leipziger Gose in the famous “Bayerische Bahnhof” in Leipzig.

Leipziger Gose is a top-fermenting wheat beer {60% wheat, 40% barley malt} with coriander, salt, and lactic acid bacteria added in the boil. It is a 4.5% alc/vol eclectic beer whose name evokes a close relationship to the renowned Lambic/Geuze breweries in the Valley Senne nearby Brussels, Belgium.

 

Homebrew club meeting Tuesday 5th at 7:00

Crazy new beers on draft

Johan Brandt , with a passion for excellent good beer, started this tiny artisanal brewery end of 1995. In the beginning he brewed only once a week with a capacity of 120 liters (1 barrel). By 1999 he started brewing twice a week with an increased capacity of 160 liters (1.5 barrels), meaning non stop brewing, bottling, washing bottles throughout the year. He is now looking for a bigger brewery where he can brew 700 liters (6 barrels) at a time and fill the bottles automatically.

Johan Brandt, also a bee-keeper, started out with only one type of beer, a honey beer called 't Smisje. He now produces 6 permanent beers.
