This Thursday, I’ll be pouring homebrew at 18 Reasons for a Beer and Cheese tasting.  It should be a good time  - there will be great homebrew and cheeses from Bi-Rite.  Rob of PFIFF! will be contributing as well, and if they’re anything like the homebrew of his I tasted this past weekend, Bi-Rite better be kicking in some big blue cheeses to stand up to this abuse.  The event is open to the beer freak and the curious alike – everyone is welcome. If you’ve never had the chance to have homebrew, this is a great introduction. One of the beers I’ll be pouring is a Belgian Wit: 

 

 

   

  

  

 

I bottle conditioned it, and it’s turned out pretty good.  It’s dry, there is a subtle spice finish from the bitter orange and coriander, and lots of carbonation. I wish it had a more clear wheat flavor – but there is always next time to tweak the recipe. I’ll be pouring this beer, along with a few other treats – including my first brett beer experiment – so why don’t you stop by for a taste?

If any other local home brewers are interested in kicking in some beers, drop me a line. 

PS – Hey Rob, got any Old Fashioned Ale left? What about the Oatmeal Cookie, that ready yet? 

PPS – Dear Bi-Rite – Can I please have some of Cowgirl’s Sir Francis Drake that just came out to pair with my Wit beer?  Please?
