Delivery time!
In the next few days you will all be receiving a six-pack of Gourdon, our imperial pumpkin ale. We've been told that it's better than Ichabod and we agree. The cider is also ready. I'm assuming that all of you will want a sixer of the cider as well. The cider is literally the best cider I've ever had. If you don't want a cider, let me know (after that glowing endorsement, how could you say "no"?). The cider is $6.00 for the six-pack. Be careful with this stuff. I never did a gravity check, but it tastes/feels more like a wine than most ciders I've had.
There are a few expectations that we have. We have a very limited supply of bottles and the six-pack holders. When you are finished with a beer, please rinse the bottle out well and return it to us. We're not your mom who cleans up after you. We don't feel it's too much to ask that you make sure it's rinsed out well. If you decide to savor your beer a bit and not drink all of it in a month, please fill out your empty six-pack with bottles of your own. We can only use pry off bottles (no twist-off) and we'd prefer the taller brown bottles (New Holland, Bells, Shorts, etc). The short squat bottles that Founders, Abita and some Belgian breweries sometimes use don't fit in the six pack holder.
The Intruder (November's brew) has been racked off to the secondary, where it is sitting on 6 vanilla beans, 2 oz of light toast oak chips and 2 oz Maker's Mark bourbon. Hopefully it will be bottled soon.
The beer for December will be a smoked porter and will be brewed in a couple of weeks. It has not been named.
Also, notice that I've added the list of beer-club beers in the upper right-hand corner. If you are ever wondering which beer is up next (or which beer you just cracked open) refer to this list.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the list of Beer Club's Members?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list!

ReplyDeleteLet me just say that the Cider is amazing. One of the best I've ever had, and a steal at $1/bottle! Jon did this one on his own and rocked it out...get your hands on a bottle if you can.
ReplyDelete...or don't buy any and then there's more for me.
