Beer Tasting

Today, a good friend at work is moving to another company so we are throwing a good-bye beer tasting to send him on his way. Six different beers are going to be sampled: Berliner Weiss, Saison, Wit, Irish Red, Irish Stout, and Chocolate Cherry Imperial Porter. Should be a lot of fun.

Additionally, the Nut Brown Ale I brewed with my daughter is bottled and the preliminary first test (one week in the bottle) went well. Both the Irish Red and Nut Brown were all grain kits from Northern Brewer that I received as Christmas presents from my wife. Both are very fine session beers and I understand why they are best sellers. Later this month I'll be back to my own recipes when I produce a Helles, my first lager in quite a while. I finally freed up some space in the beer fridge and since I keep it around 50 degrees it's ideal for lager fermentation.
