Holiday Barley Wine

August 23rd, 2009

Finally Brewed

February 22nd, 2009

It’s been nearly a year since I’ve last brewed; I made a lavender stout last March at my old apartment. Steve and I decided to make a mixed berry Saison rather than a Wee Heavy as it would be more appropriate with spring coming around the corner. While we brewed, we enjoyed some tasty Chimay, Swiss, and Cheddar cheeses along with a big bottle of O’Hara’s Celebration Stout, Dogfish Head Red & White, and a smaller bottle of Brooklyn Brewery’s Dark Chocolate Stout.

One day soon, we hope to pool our money and efforts together to finally do an all grain batch….one day…
