April Brewer’s Log: Bella Pilz

April 5, 2021

They say April showers bring May flowers. But I say April means baseball is back! Patios are open again and beer needs to be consumed in spring’s full glory, outside. The stouts we brewed for those long cold days and nights will start to disappear, and lighter, hoppier, and seasonal brews will start showing up at our taproom and on the shelves at liquor stores. For those who have been stopping by for growlers and pints, a few of your favorites will be gracing our tap lines soon. Tile Factory and this year’s Tipped Cow will be back on April…

And, it will be our third year celebrating our home in downtown…

February Brewer’s Log: Pulling Copper

February 4, 2021

February. The cold weather is setting in for that final push of winter. Then greener grass will be just around the corner. Things might also be getting greener as St. Patrick’s Day is looming. If you didn’t already know, we are pretty busy this time of year, brewing for that oh-so-special day. This month, I’m starting it off with a new beer that’s exclusive to the taproom.
