For Lovecraft fans

I just brewed a batch of autumn/Halloween ale for this fall. My third batch of beer and my first label.

Win! Now i want to see a Cthulu one. Or maybe a "in the mountains of madness" one since theyre making it into a movie finally!

5.8%? Come on, for a beer with that name and label, I think 8% is the minimum here

Also, I head the At the Mountains of Madness movie is canned

"cool air" has got to be the best brewing related lovecraft story. The guy literally turns whole his apartment into his ferm chamber, and kept it at lager temps.

Awesome! I'm planning on naming all of my Belgians after Lovecraftian things.

Now where's the recipe????

5.8% oops! I guess I accidentally left the 1 off. (kidding) I'm still thinking of a brewery name and had considered "Mad Mountain Brewery". I'll be making a stronger Lovecraftian winter warmer next.

This is kind of an odds 'n' ends 2 gallon recipe. Since it has my last two cans of Mr. Beer liquid hopped malt extract I used the Mr Beer fermenter for it. I've already moved on to a 5 gallon setup for future brews.

♦ 8 oz Caramel 40L Malt steeping grains
♦ 8 ounces Muntons Plain Dark DME (60 EBC)
♦ Mr. Beer Octoberfest Vienna Lager HME
♦ Mr. Beer Whispering Wheat Weizenbier HME
♦ 1/2 tsp pure almond extract
♦ 1/2 tsp allspice

It just might taste evil! I hope it's good though.

I forgot about the COOL AIR story. Awesome! I saw the Mountains Of Madness movie got axed. It might just be for the best though... There has never been a real good Lovecraft adaptation in my opinion. No movie could be made evil enough although del Toro probably would have done a great job.

Slight hijack: There is a fantastic Lovecraft film coming out on DVD this year. I watched a pre-release edition with Sandy Petersen (yes, THAT Sandy Petersen) earlier this year.



Lord Garth - Great label! I'll send a copy to Sandy.

I had total faith in DeToro's team to create some of the craziest aliens we've ever seen on screen. It's a shame.

That clip for Whisperer In Darkness looks great! By the same people who made Call Of Cthulhu a few years ago which I highly recommend. Low budget and fan-made.

Sandy Petersen - cool! My label might get famous! lol In the interest of full disclosure I did not create the arwork. I wish I did. Credit goes to www.mattdixon.co.uk.

I don't normally get into Lovecraft until the fall/Halloween and the autumn ale got me thinking about it. I might have to read a story or two right now.

I had dinner with Sandy yesterday. He gives your label a big thumbs up!
