The Lost Abbey-Lost & Found Ale


This is the first Lost Abbey that I have gotten my hands on and it's damn good. Lost & Found is a Dubbel that is brewed with raisins. As you can see in the pic it pours a chocolate brownish color. It has a big raisin malty taste. There are some hints of cinnamon and brown sugar there too. It weighs in at 7.5% and is quite drinkable. I can't wait to try the rest of their lineup.

New House New Brews



Well I have officially moved into the new house. One of the first things I did after getting semi situated was to start a few new batches. I did two in one day. the first is a mild ale and the second is a big double IPA. I did both at once because the IPA is going to take 3-4 months before it's going to be ready. While I was brewing the second batch of the day, my new washer and dryer were delivered. The delivery guys asked what I was making, so I told me beer of course. They looked at me quite confused. I think they thought and still think I was making meth. Oh well, the mild will be ready in a month or so.
