Drum Roll Please...

It's time to annonuce our beer line up!
Here's the tentative brews:
McCann's Golden Ale-Our easy drinking brew-light body, clean hops, a perfect session beer.
High Bank Amber-nice middle of the road amber brewed with all Belgian malts.
Deep Seven IPA-organic English floor malted pale ale malt, two other malts and four hops.
Dark Seasonal Tap-first up will be a porter.
Seasonal Tap-first up will be a Belgian single.
Don't hold be to this, but I'm pretty sure that's the line up. I'll have more details on each beer as things develop.

We Have a Winner!

The shirt has been grabbed-thanks for playing.

The Sign's on the Door


First off, the shirt is still available. See the last post to win. Things are moving along well. More gets done every day, but I'm getting stoked to brew. The brewery is pretty much ready to go, just waiting for government approval. Lots of construction work to do yet.







Here is the progress on the main dining area.












The downstairs bar is now under construction.

T-Shirt Prize Spectacular!




The first person to email me at bikenbrew@charter.net gets this brand spanking new XL shirt. I'll pay shipping. This will not be our final logo. We just thought it would be fun to get these made.
