Tasting and Touring

The "tour guide" was not so great a public speaker, but we got walked through the basic brewing process and tried all 4 varieties (Weizen, IPA, Amber, Porter) that they make. The porter was especially good and I bought a growler of it to take home.

The really interesting part is that they use old-style kegs for their amber (the really popular, amazing beer) with bung-holes. The bungs have a permeable sack filled with hops attached to it, that goes into each keg. The kegs sit for a while and dry-hop while they age. It's a really cool idea.

The whole thing took maybe an hour and was fun. We bought a poster for the kitchen as well. A nice, canvas one.
