Welcome to summer!
I think it’s safe to say that we have begun the season of the sun. As you may recall, June is our anniversary month and as usual we celebrate with beer! Check out the specials above for details.
Summer also means Miner’s Wheat Ale. Always a welcome addition to the beer line-up, the 2010 Miner’s Wheat may look a little different. Last year we used a different strain of yeast that was meant to be left in suspension, yes…a HEFE wiezen. If you had a pint last year that was clear, you experienced “Flock out”, whereby the tricky little cells get cold, bunch together and drop out of the beer. Kind of hard to have a “Hefe” without the yeast! This year we changed the pesky strain out to my new favorite, Irish Ale yeast and filtered it. The malts and hops are the exact same!
On our actual 3rd birthday, June 21st, 2010, we will package our first bottled offering, PU240 Imperial IPA! 250 cases of 22 ounce “bombers” will be filled for sale here at the Alehouse and at a few select “Good Beer” stores! We brewed 3 batches in April and May and the “weapons grade ale” has been patiently resting on dryhops for the glorious occasion. I can tell you that this is by far the best batch we have produced.
If we have any bulk PU240 left I promise to release some on draught and not take it home for myself! Look for bottles and cases later that week!
Cheers!

Hello folks,
American River Pale Ale made it’s way back to the empty beer faucet today! We used our Irish Ale yeast strain this batch and it is tasting very good! The Irish strain seems to have rounded out the hops a little making it a little maltier….I like it! I promise that we might [...]

Okay, so I’m Irish, but I am also from Northern California and I need hops! I have been deprived for about 11 days now. I was feeling cranky and even snapped at the info desk lady because she wouldn’t put the Newgrange tour tickets on our credit card instead insisting we go to the National [...]

I have a newfound respect for Guinness.
While we were in Killkenny I noticed a tap shield that said Kilkenny Irish Red from Guinness. Since we were having a pint of the town’s flagship Smithwick’s IRA, I figured we’d see it again and try it next. The occasion never arose and I had been kicking myself [...]
