The public opinion on this beer is still out as it has scored a 38 and a 22 in the two competitions it has entered, however, in our opinion, it is one of the better beers we’ve brewed. A nice relaxed bitter that is an easy sipper. I don’t have a lot of recipes that I want to brew again as the hobby has so much variety and new things to try, but this one will be brewed again in the future. Perhaps with some minor tweaks.

Ludwig Van Beethoven was completely deaf before the age of 44, and yet, he still composed some of his best music that has stood the test of time. Cheers to a man who honed his craft despite the odds. As a champion of Vienna, this Lager’s for you. Note: We know this doesn’t fit in with the Meme’s Theme this year, but we wanted to switch it up for this October brew. We also wanted to enter the label into the Brew Your Own magazine label competition. (5 gallon batch) Original Gravity: 1.043 Final Gravity: 1.009 ABV: 4.5               Read More →

October is coming… time for a Märzen! We are brewing this beer to enter into the Robert Cove Germanfest in the Bayou State, and to our local home brew supply competition at Sitta’s Brew Hub. Temps hit 100 degrees with a heat advisory in affect, so we worked our ass off on this beer. Note: We know this doesn’t fit in with the Meme’s Theme this year, but we wanted to switch it up for this October brew. We also wanted to enter the label into the Brew Your Own magazine label competition. Update: This beer took 2nd place in Das Best Oktoberfest in Wisconsin.Read More →
