June Update

Well the judging wasn't kind on the Irish Red. It was to style, no flaws, just didn't "blow up my skirt" as the comment read. Not sure how to take that. Anyway, I like it. The "winter weizen" also came out really well. Maybe a little under attenuated with a touch too much ginger, but still a great twist on a style. The American Browns (10 gallon) are in secondary dry hopping. Should be ready for my Dad in a few weeks. His favorite beer I make. Next up an APA for the September meeting.

OK now for the news. The Brewpub is Back. That's right. It's been 4 years but I've got the wheels a turning for a brewpub in the Roanoke area. I've met a very promising partner and Chef in Mike Bowling. I've got one solid investor without shopping around yet. We've got a couple vendors for brewing equipment and a couple possible locations. I will keep the blog updated with news at we proceed but watch for something new and exciting in Roanoke.
