Yes, the Band of Brewers was quite active with a back-to-back night of brewing a couple of weeks ago, 6 kettles each night. Which also meant back-to-back bottling nights. I missed Thursday but caught up with the crew on Friday to finish our twelve kettles and divvy up the shares. Lots of variety this time around.
The twelve kettles bring the group to a total of 98. Plans are under way to celebrate with something special for our 100th kettle.
The brew listing for this time:
| Bassalope - | An easy drinking English style pale ale. Similar to Bass | BA |
| Bawstin Lager | - This is our Sam Adam’s style Lager. Great for the first timer | - BL |
| Blueberry Ale | - A delicious ale. It smells good, tastes good and finishes clean | - blank cap |
| Double Scotch Ale | - This Scotch is heavily hopped and high in alcohol. | - DS |
| Down Under Lager | - Gidday Mate! Here’s your Foster’s style recipe | - DU |
| Downtown Brown | - Similar to Smithwick’s Ale. Light in body, heavy in flavor | - D |
| Rusty Anchor Lager - | A very tasty Anchor Steam style. Nice bronze color - R | |
|
|
| Hirschgarden Marzen | - An Oktoberfestbier. A nice deep amber color and malty sweetness | - H |
| Lawnmower Lager | - A great summer beer, easy to quaff whilst using power tools | - LL |
| Light Irish Stout | - This recipe is lighter than the dry, intense stouts of Ireland. | - L |
| Stunner | - A creamy British Pub style pale ale “stunning colour”. - | S |
| Wachusett Pale | - Nicely hopped with a beautiful color. Good for a summer stroll | - W |
