New Summer Beer on its Way

In light of the upcoming warm weather, flowers, and rain, we decided to start a new beer! It's been awhile, but I think we cleared the rusty hops out of our heads.

We're making a weizen beer with the addition of apricots and ginger.


FUN FACTS!

Weizen is german for wheat. There are two types of weizen beers: hefeweizen(hefe is German for yeast) and kristallweizen (kristall meaning "clear"). Our beer will be more the "hefe" variety which is pale, light and cloudy. The cloudiness is due to the type of yeast used and it is purposely left unfiltered.

Blue Moon is a type of wheat beer brewed with orange and corriander.
