Last night, I organized a garden party for our Share-the-Harvest gardens. At our church, there are 16 of us tending 20 gardens, for ourselves and a program called Share the Harvest, where fresh produce is shared with a local food pantry.
In addition to organizing, setting up, and cooking the burgers, I also shared two cases of beer and cider. Usually, at events like this, the cider is the popular favorite - everyone likes it, its very accessible, even to confirmed BMC drinkers. But last night, the beers went faster than the cider. Apparently, it was a more sophisticated beer crowd than I thought
I served two of our beers:
Summer Solstice Pale Ale, an English style pale ale made with the Fullers yeast strain and Fuggles and EKG hops http://www.singingboysbrewing.com/PaleAle.html and
Short Nights IPA, an American style IPA made with Bravo, Ivanhoe, Centennial and Cascade organic hops http://www.singingboysbrewing.com/Short-Nights-IPA.html
