Anybody out there tried it? Picked up a 22oz bottle from the local craft brew shop and fell in love with it, and have started tossing around ideas to make a similar brew. From New Belgium: Le Terroir is a french term meaning “of the earth”. Used to reference the environmental conditions...

Hey guys, Hoping someone out there could reconnect me to the beer I'm missing. I tried it at a beer bar in Athens, GA (so it has southeastern distribution). It was a pale-type ale, except it had a strong sourness with almost a hint of apples (from the sour maybe?) Light color, clean head...

Hey fellas- Thought I'd run this by the esteemed assembly. I've got a problem keg that I'm trying to figure out. Ordered it from Midwest, and it was delivered under pressure (standard). My kegging system is a mini fridge with an uncooled tower. Here's the situation: Kegged up a blonde...

Quick and easy dry stout with a twist from the wild ferment. A loose version of a Guinness clone, but a side-by-side tasting shows this is a very different beer. Much richer flavor than a Guinness. In my opinion, much more interesting. The ground roast barley gives it quite a kick of flavor...

...and brewing beer full time. My first homebrew, a Newcastle clone, has been sitting in primary for 3 days, and I just had to steal a sample, for specific gravity testing only, of course. Upon opening the pail I was greeted with the wonderful smell of fresh beer. After a quick gravity test...
