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.

It is a little on the low side abv wise by about 1%, but otherwise,Read 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 →
