So, we unfortunately do not have the recipe for the Chosen One or the I’m Mary Poppin’s Ya’ll. These two beers were the last beers brewed before the Hopping Grape closed it’s doors. We took a half year off from brewing…Read More →

An American IPA. This is a bitter beer, and it has turned out to be one of our favorite IPAs that we’ve made. We didn’t podium with it at Eureka Height’s in their second annual Lupulin Quest competition, but we brewed this beer, and drank all of it before the judging was even completed. You could say we liked it a lot. Special thanks to Todd Limbaugh for inspiring us and pointing out the competition. Pre-boil Gravity: 1.055 Original Gravity: 1.062 Final Gravity: 1.014 ABV:6.3% Read More →

I was torn as to what to call it. Our local brewery, Bakfish, recently started roasting their own coffee beans, so as a challenge, we decided to make coffee beers for February. I’ve enjoyed this fireside, but you must like coffee to enjoy this beer, as it is bold in coffee flavor. Note that this was a 10 gallon preboil volume that yielded just over 8 gallons at kegging withRead More →
As we bid farewell to the original Nintendo themed beers of 2021, we welcome the aliens theme of 2022. This Christmas Cream Ale features vanilla and cinnamon and hopes to prepare us for the upcoming Holidays. As a challenge, the Bakfish Brew Crew, threw out a Christmas treat to be created (non dog treat) by the leftover grain bill. As those who know me, my staple Christmas treat is the Snickerdoodle cookie. This beer plays off the Snickerdoodle flavor, and as such, the grains will be utilized to make “Snickerbrewdles Cookies.” That’s right, we are making beer cookies with beer grain. First, here is aRead More →
