Whats on Tap
Outer Darkness has had a great fermentation and is now resting quietly. We decided to bottle condition it and release it December 21st, winter solstice. Now on tap at Squatters pub is Hop Riot (classic American Pale). Next week (November 16th) we will be bringing out Black Forest Schwarzbier and Squatters Porter on the Nitro tap. Our Nut Brown Ale will be coming on tap by November 20th as well. I had Sierra's Harvest last night at it was really hopalicious! cheers, J

Outer Darkness
Happy Halloween! I must first apologize for my severe negligence on my blog site. My only excuse is that I had a baby June 19th, Vienna Mary Jane. I promise not to be so negligent. My brewer Jason (you might know him as the hot model on the Hop Rising bottle) is an ex-Mormon. About a year ago he thought of a name for a beer, Outer Darkness. Check Mormon folklore for explanation.
We thought, what better style then a Russian Imperial Stout for this name. So yesterday Jason and I brewed our first Russian Imperial. Wow, what a fantastic day. Our brewery is seriously the little engine that could. We knocked out at 27p and we are rocking in the fermenter today. We hope to be in serious high krausen on Hallows Eve. I expect to release it in 22oz bombers for sale at the pub, Park City pub and out the door sale at the downtown pub. I expect the first bottles to go out 2nd or 3rd week of December. Most definitely before Christmas day.
We conducted 2 pretty major RIS tastings before we formulated our beer and fell in love Abyss, Storm King and Rogue Imperial Stout. We were inspired to use some molasses at EOB. I will keep everyone updated on how she is coming along. Please think intense fermentation thoughts over the next week!
cheers

Name change and new beers
Hello to all,
We are currently pouring Sommer Weisse and Hop Riot as house specials. On the nitro tap is our Cream Ale (Boddington's style). We had to change the name of Hop Rising to Hop Riot because we gave the name to our brewing brothers at UBC. UBC is currently formulating a double IPA and it looks like it could come out called Hop Rising Double IPA. Nothing is ever final until it is done, but we decided to change the name of our 4% draught classic pale ale just in case.
Next week we are releasing our Kindig Weisse, a krystall weisse beer, aged 40 days, filtered and super refreshing. Definitely a patio drinking beer.
cheers,
Jen

Summer beer drinking has Arrived
Thank goodness it has finally warmed up. One of my favorite styles of beer to drink on warm days is a German Weisse or Kristall Weisse beer. We just released our Sommer Weisse yesterday. And I will follow it with releasing our Kindig Weisse (a Krystall Weisse)in a couple of weeks.
The Sommer Weisse is a traditional German Weisse brewed with 41% malted wheat, a little cara-wheat to give it a slight orange hue, very little hops and German weisse yeast which provides beautiful ester and phenol notes. The Kindig Weisse is very similar, except it is lighter in color and filtered. Maude Kindig was the name of my German Great Grandmother who used to make homebrew on her farm in the midwest prior to and during prohibition. these both our great patio drinking beers. Next week we will have Epiphany (our vanilla porter) on nitro, infused with real vanilla beans hung in the fermenter post fermentation.

Espresso Stout and Monkey's Dunkel now on tap
Espresso Stout on nitro is now on tap. we worked, as always, with Millcreek Coffee Roasters to make this yummy concoction. We blended Mexican and Guatemalan beans, roasted them, gave them a 24hr. rest,slightly crushed them and hung them in the stout for 9 days.
Also, Monkey's Dunkel, a European Dark Lager, went on tap mid-last week. We are not to busy around here because conventions are slow in April so there is plenty left of both these beers. Hell's Keep is going strong but still making us feel all warm inside, come down and try one if you have not done so already.
cheers
