Beer Revolution 2nd Anniversary St.Eve Inagural Brewday



Beer Collaboration with Steve Donahue at Firehouse Brewing in Sunnyvale which is being brewed for Beer Revolution's 2nd anniversary party in early February. Steve and I met with Rebecca a couple weeks back and decided to brew a Belgian Tripel with a St.Eve twist or two. We had a lot of supporters stop by during the brew: Pete Slosberg, Arie Litman, Peter Estaniel and Alec Stephanski all made appearances. The beer knocked out at 19.6 Plato and is fermenting away very happily for its debut in about 6 weeks.
The first of many golden sugar crystal additions that occurred throughout the duration of the boil.
Motivational Speakers were present

On the Brewdeck at Devil's Canyon. Matt McDougall and I brewed the newest creation for High Water Brewing yesterday. It is a Winter Warmer and should finish out around 7.5% ABV. We added a little finishing spice bag of Ginger, Cardamon, Star Anise & Grains of Paradise during whirlpool and a tiny bit of peat smoked malt in the mash. 30 BBL's total and should be ready in time for New Years!!!

All Four Tanks in place


All four of our 30 BBL Fermenters are in the Drake's new Brewery Fermentation room and full of beer.

Late Summer Seasonal - No Boundary IPA


Here is a sneak peek at the new No Boundary IPA label.
We will be bottling this 9/22, so look for it on the shelves and on tap very soon after that! This is probably the driest finishing IPA I have ever brewed. Belgian yeast
with hops from Australia and New Zealand with a couple twists thrown in for fun.
