Eye Patch on the way

We’re brewing up our Eye Patch Ale tonight – a very similar recipe to the last, but we’ve backed down on the bittering hops ever so slightly. Come on over to Jeff’s around 8pm to help us clean some kegs. We should have a little beer on tap as well.
Bring your warm clothes. As Yoda [...]

Is it Monday now?

Is it Monday now?

Let me paint a picture for you…
You had a nice little jog earlier in the morning, but since then you’ve been gorging yourself on Doritos and watching the marathon of Flipping Out on Bravo. Things have been pretty much awesome. But now you’re thirsty and a cold Monday Night would really hit the spot. Trouble [...]

Monday Night Brewing? More like Wednesday Night Kegging.

Jeff and I have decided to branch off and start our own company, Wednesday Night Kegging. We won’t brew beer, we’ll only keg it. We haven’t fully fleshed out the business plan and revenue model, but we tested the concept last night when we kegged our fresh hop IPA in the hopes of having real, [...]
