Scrumpy took his batch from Goatfest and kegged a few days back.  He tapped that puppy last night and designated it as Workhorse Wheat. Not a bad Thursday.

Great Raft Brewing opening in Shreveport

@GreatRaftBeer

Nice to see Northwest Louisiana getting some craft beer love.  This isn't far from 3 of our hometowns so it'll be nice to have a beer destination when we visit back home. Can't wait to try it out.

Dark Wheat Recipe Set

The recipe has been set for this weekend's brew. The alcohol level came out a bit on the high side but the grain has been bought and mixed so there's no going back now. The original recipe is for a dunkelweizen but I much prefer the clean finish on American wheat beers so the yeast was swapped out.  The moral of the story is I'm calling it a dark wheat for now.  If the alcohol comes out as predicted it'll be a big dark wheat.

 

Dogfish-distribution down south please

Word came out a few days ago that Dogfish Head and the Grateful Dead are colloborating on a new beer called American Beauty.

From Beer Advocate

Sounds awesome.  Too bad Dogfish doesn't distribute to any state bordering the one 4/5 of us live. 

sigh
