January, February, March

posted by Jon

I am on a bit of a Belgian-style Ale kick. Ryan is currently in Northern California and was able to stop at Russian River Brewing Co. a couple of nights ago. Russian River brews the best Belgians outside of Belgium. They have 4 Belgian-style ales in Beeradvocate's top 100 beers. Chances are, Ryan is also on a Belgian-style Ale kick. For  the next 3 months, we will be doing Belgians. The plan is to do a Belgian Pale/Tripel in January, a Belgian Strong/Quad in February and a Belgian Pale/Strong (with Brettanomyces added) in March. If you've never had a beer brewed with Brett, you're going to be blown away. Pretty much everyone I know who's tried one hated it the first time. After you've tried a couple you start craving them. At least most of us do. You all signed up for beer club with the knowledge that you were going to get some crazy stuff. This will be your first adventure into crazy. If the yeast does what it's supposed to, it might be really crazy. Really, really crazy.
