Myself and Greg are the
"see no evil" monkeys.
What is that strange growth on Greg's shoulder that amazingly looks like Colin from Barley John's?

Trippel Trouble on Tap Tomorrow
Our Trippel Trouble will be on tap tomorrow. Here's the skinny:
Belgian Monastery breweries have been making the worlds most interesting beers for many years. Many of these beers are only available inside the monastery walls only for the monks enjoyment. Beers of high strength are brewed to sustain the monks during their fasts. Our Abbey style Trippel is one such beer. Trippel means that it's three times the strength of a regular beer. Brewed with over 900 pounds of the highest quality Belgian malts and candi sugar. Belgian candi sugar looks like "rock candy" and contributes a "rummy" flavor to the beer. A Belgian monastery ale yeast gives this beer a fruity/spicy complexity while maintaining drinkability despite it's strength. Hints of honey, caramel, apricot and a subtle spicyness are experienced in it's flavor. This beer is served unfiltered and pours a tawny gold. A strong, wonderful beer for cold winter evenings.
1.082 O.G.
It was nice meeting with the Cloudy Town Home Brewers last night. I was able to sample some wonderful beers and a great apple/peach still cider. A nice warm up for Winterfest tomorrow.
Hope to meet some blog readers at the fest. If you read this blog, please stop by and say hi. I hope to have photos of the fest up this weekend some time.

Little Abbey Status
If you are a fan of our Little Abbey Ale ya better act fast and get your share before it's gone.
Up next is the Trippel Trouble which is resting nicely in the bright tank.
One correction from the last post: I will be playing the Monticello Dunn Bros. not the Buffalo location.
A big hello to the folks at Brau Bros. Brewing. Thanks for the visit Friday. Dustin's beers are available across the state. Go out and try some and support a local brewery.
If you have never done it, home brewing is a great hobby and a excellent way to learn the art of brewing. The Cloudy Town Home Brew Club will be having their monthly meeting at McCann's Wednesday at 7:30pm. They are very welcoming folks and will help you on your journey to brew wonderful beers. Stop on by-maybe Bruce the president will buy you a beer (it says so in their newsletter).

Growlers For The Big Game
Don't forget to pick up some growlers Saturday for the big game. You could also stop by McCann's for the game-we'll be running $5 craft brew pitchers all day!
I'll be reorganizing our living room, dining room and TV room all weekend. Band practice at my house on Wednesday, so we gotta get it done.
I also picked up a gig next Saturday at the Buffalo Dunn Bros. 11-? with my sister in law. I love last minute shows that are not prepared. Just play what ya know and try to back up the others. Way fun. My first show with my new acoustic guitar, so I'm excited.
Have a good weekend.
