BEER UPDATE (also, name my blueberry beer)
12 years ago
Cinnamonster Pumpkin Pie Brown Ale: Rocking it, triple filtering it so there is ZERO sediment this year. Tired of gunky beer!!! Looks clear now and smells awesome.
Molly McFizzlewilly's Double Barrel Scotch Ale: I've made this a few times, and it's probably one of my favorite ales. It's dark, it's chocolatey, it's thick and it has an amazingly smooth tail end flavor and aftertaste. It's almost ready to keg and drink.... a lot.
YET UNNAMED BLUEBERRY CERVEZA: It's still bubbling away during primary fermentation, but it's a super light beer so, it'll be done in a week. No kidding. The blueberry flavoring is an alcohol extract of blueberrys I will add afterwards, and will be cautiously poured in and mixed vigorously. Blueberrys apparently make the beer taste iron-y if cooked in, so, I'm going with the extract potion. The cerveza is a nice light crisp beer that'll have a bite, which I think (and hope) will make the blueberrys tartness stand out. Willamette hops are a really floral hop. (meaning it is way less acidic so there is a lot less bittering, and you get more of the nice flowery hoppy flavor)
So, those are the three beers that are going to Furfright. 15 gallons of awesome. Hopefully lots of people will scamper into the beer garden to try and share their own brews over the weekend.
