Homebrew Beeriola

Last week we brewed but I hadn't had a chance to post about that yet. Our beer consumption has definitely slowed down as Chris is working evenings and we've been going to the gym more often, and sadly we've slowed down the production line as well. Last week we bottled the Beeriola, lovely label made by Chris. He actually made 2 or 3 different designs but I voted for this one.



This is the first time we've repeated a brew. I am really looking forward to tasting it in a few weeks and comparing it to the original Duke Alt. This kit was a gift from my stepsister. I think our brew techniques have improved since that batch, and I can't wait to compare the two! The beer was really delicious in the first place, so it will hopefully be even better.

The beer we brewed this week was ISA, Imperial Skitt Ale. This one is our hoppiest brew ever! We put approximately 4-5 times as many hops into it as we would in a normal batch. It smelled great - hope the results are tasty!

Yesterday we tasted our MIPA. It isn't quite ready to add to the rotation yet, but it sure was good! Not as hoppy as I expected, fairly mild actually, but still very good. Looking forward to tasting the Sweet Home Colorado in a week or two! Hopefully we'll be able to bring some Fat Tire home with us from Colorado in a couple weeks and compare the two.
