The saga continues. I gave you the recipe, talked about the brew, even let you know when I transfered. Now, Rats in the Attic is out of the closet and into the bottle, which is being kept in the same closet.

Opened my last scotch ale today. I bottled it during a time in my life when I didn’t feel like labeling the beers I’d brewed, so it was a surprise. I brewed it January, 2007. I tried adding a little peat-smoked malt to the malt bill. It caused me a lot of [...]

I’m not necessarily a wine hater, I just don’t get it. I mean, I had a wine tasting phase where I at least learned what kind of wine I liked, but never went beyond that. One thing I do like is port. So while thinking about port I got the idea, why [...]

Lately, I’ve come across two beers that fit into the category of Half-Belgian beers. The timing is mostly coincidental, but last weekend I bottled a strong ale that I’ve been brewing every autumn for three years now. I lovingly named this years’ version “Yee Olde Halfe Belgian”.

Hi homebrewers,
Sorry I have been away in Paris (more on that later) but I am back and lets get to an old Oregon tradition of brewing Christmas beer. Because nothing makes me want to drink 4-8 quality homebrews, than spending the day with my family during Christmas. This year I went with two [...]
