#Beersaturday - Pints on the Town and Brewing!
Your benevolent blockchain #Beerologist is back again this week for #beersaturday. You are always invited to leave a huge upvote and join our friend @detlev to create your own post with the gang! So glad to have found a home with beer drinkers across the world on my favourite blockchain.
For week 411, I am enjoying a few pints on the town and brewing a couple one-off experimental beers.
I had quite a few PotW candidates this week as there were a number of occasions to enjoy a social pint on the town. This hazy beauty is a Shakespeare Brewing Grumpy Goat IPA enjoyed during a night of music.
A very nice night for a beer at The Bunker Performance Lounge joining my boy D up on stage spinning vinyl for all of the record enthusiasts in town. You can see I had finished my pint in this shot but don't worry I ordered a milk stout as a follow-up.
)The Guest Pint!
@Parabyte is back again featured on the Guest Pint as he sure likes to share but not to blog.
This week, he is unboxing his shipment from Collective Arts Brewing that I am a little envious of. I love me some Life in the Clouds as one of their core beers available year round. I also got plenty of miles out of their numbered series of IPAs and love that they rereleased the original one like a band releasing a remastered album. The one that has me NEEDing is the Rare Specimen NEIPA which I have never tasted. I need to head out and check the shelves for that one.
Brewing Time
The weekend brew session had all 3 of our brewers in action simultaneously. The 60 litre big boy had our standard Amber Ale brewing in rotation so we decided to fire up the 20-litre brewers at the same time for some experimental beers.
This is the uncrushed grain bill of the amber ale. You can see our staple Two-Row grains mixed with some of the darker Crystal grains which give it that darker hue and more caramel taste. Man I love brewing right from grains!
In the smaller one-off brewers, we are brewing an Irish Red and a West Coast IPA. The latter is what you are looking at here as it is foaming up nice during the mash cycle of the brew. The mixture is boiling and cycling through the pump and poured on top of the mash to bring all of the flavour and sugar from the grains. Nearing the end of the cycle, you can already see the nice colour of the beer which is meant to be a little clearer and less sweet than our standard NEIPA. More hops in a dry hop stage and no wheat or barley for haziness or smoother mouthfeel. Can't wait!

Brewery dog seems as content as I am. She enjoys eating any spilled grains off the floor while I prefer to wait 3 weeks for the beer to be done and consume the grains in a pint that is not for dogs.
So, the sun has gone down on another #beersaturday and I look back on my evening enjoying the sunset with a pint and a cottage chair. Something special about the longer and warmer days that calls you to the outdoors to celebrate life with beer.
#BEERSaturday!
I normally skip these pub ads showing shitty near beer but had to stop and make a point. I won't judge anyone for the beer they drink but if this is all that's on the menu, I will just go for a soda.

Just drinked beer yesterday, couldn't wait for the Saturday 😄
Me too. I only drink beers on days that end in Y.
Those brewing pictures make me miss home brewing, kind of, the brewing part, and the drinking part, but not all the cleaning parts, which is most of the parts.
Ah the cleaning isn't so bad when you have 3 people and one likes the sitting jobs. A tub of sanitizer and water poured down the drive way make it much easier.
So, you should definitely spend this kind of time with friends. If you spend the last day of the week like this, then the whole week will be spent well, with a lot of hard work.
Exactly. Plenty of hard work with the business which earns the reward of beer with friends.

STOPI really enjoyed reading. The cans look nice.
I've been thinking of brewing some beer myself, but I don't have the knowledge, time, or space to do it. I've also read that you have some powders that you put in water, wait a couple of days, and get beer. But lately, there have been no more articles like that. I guess it sucked :) !BEER
Brewing at our level of equipment and production has a lot to it. Starting out brewing is relatively simple. Boil a can of malt that comes in a kit with some sugar and water, add yeast and ferment a week. Drain the top 90% of it out and wait another week. Pour that into bottles with a little corn sugar and drink after a couple days!
As you mentioned, it looks easy. But maybe I really should try it once.
Ya man you would be surprised. I can tell you what I know to demystify it.
A good place to start is to find a Cooper's kits somewhere near you. https://www.cooperskits.ca/products/european-lager-coopers-beer-kit They are available everywhere.
It is a can of malt and light hops you boil into a big pot and add a kilo of corn sugar (dextrose) and add the packet of brewers yeast included. Find yourself a carboy or fermentation.
https://www.northernbrewer.com/collections/carboys-jugs/products/5-gallon-secondary-glass-fermenter-kit again, should be globally available.
Then you need some bottles.
Hit me up if you decide to try and youtube videos are not answering your questions!

What a lovely busy post. We requested and you delivered....thank you!
Enjoyed reading your 'Beer Saturday' post especially the part about your brewing process. Sounds like you will be enjoying some fine beverage soon.
Kind Regards,

Yes indeed.
We have gotten up to a regular production schedule so that I don't have to buy beer for home or the office anymore. Now, we are toying with finer ground malts, yeast boosting nutrient and different styles of beers. So much fun!
