Band of Brewers - Summary

The "Band of Brewers" has been busy with three brewing events and then three bottling events for a total of 14 kettles.


Why 14?
The group has been growing and the demands for the holiday called for this amount.

For the most recent batch, what are the bottle cap codes?
Christmas Ale - C
Pumpkin Ale - P
Stunner - S
Wachusett - W
Evil Santa - E
Off Kilter Scotch - O
Winter Jubilee - WJ
Sturz Strong Ale - SS
Hirscgarten - H
Red Head Ale - RH
Rusty Anchor - R

So how many kettles have the group done together now?

For those that originated with Brian and myself, we have done 125 kettles since Sep 2006 with 70 unique beers.

What is the best beer?
The listing by frequency of brewing is as follows. Which one is the best is open for discussion, each will have their own favorites. Which is okay, we really haven't made a bad beer yet.
