Brewing and Tasting


I had a little brewing and tasting at my house last week. My cousin Sean and friend Tom came over. We cooked up a batch of Irish Red Ale. This was the first time either of them have been through the brewing process. It was a lot of fun to explain the how and why of brewing. We tasted some great beers while the boil was going on. Titan IPA-Great Divide, Corsendonk Xmas Ale, Unplugged Imperial Weizen-New Glarus, Horn Dog Barley Wine-Flying Dog, Mild Ale-my homebrew, ect. I think that we all benefited from this. Sean is totally new to the craft brew world so we completely overwhelmed his taste buds and brain with beer knowledge. Tom has an extensive knowledge of wine and with that had some fantastic adjectives for flavors that I would have never thought of. I just had a good time drinking and talking about beer.
