Beer Brewing Calender

[bdknuc2]

Designing seasonal brews takes a lot of thought and planning months in advance. I was wondering how far in advance are seasonal brews planned/prepared and what would your "Brewing Calender" look like. I usually try and brew my beers about 2 months before I would like to enjoy them and want to know how others prepare!!

My only seasonal brews are for the New York Rangers. So I'll brew a home beer and an away beer in time for the first games. Normally I like to do a winter grand cru and brew in November/December and bottle around New Years

I started brewing according to the calendar 6 months ago or so. I have Wee heavy, American Dark Ale, Dubbel, Dunkelweizen, Irish Red, Bourbon Cherry Oak Quad in the beer fridge right now. Brewing a German Pils and Dunkel next, maybe a smoked IPA, then Maibock for spring / early summer. Then Blonde, IPA, Maybe a Rauchbier late sumer, dark beers again for winter.

It's awesome having season appropriate brew to enjoy, almost like having a pub in the basement.
