As we inch closer to spring, I am getting the itch to brew up some new beer. I keep picturing sitting around a fire pit sipping some fine Back Cove Brewing Co. beers with friends. The only problem right now is what kind of beer are we all sipping?! As usual, I have it narrowed down, and need your help. I'm thinking I want to have a couple of choices ready for the warmer weather, so I offer you these options. Please give me your feedback...
White Ale - something similar to Allagash White. Something light and cloudy, with a citrusy hint to it.
Pale Ale - My last brew was intended to be an strong IPA, but came out very PA. Really enjoyed it, and would compare it to Gritty's Pub Style.
IPA - I have a Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA knock off recipe, and seeing that this is one of my favorite beers, I would love to copy it! Plus I will be talking to Sam Calgionne, owner of Dogfish, soon about seeing if I can get a copy of the 90 Minute IPA recipe. See what happens!
Wheat Ale - I always toss this one in around summer time. A good wheat is great in the summer time. There is always the option of copying Sea Dog BluePaw or Pete's Wicked Strawberry Wheat. These are great summer beers, and fun to try to copy.
Porter - Never made one, and would love to try it sometime. May be better suited for a fall or winter brew.
______ - Write in candidate. If you have something else you would like to try, let me know.
Everyone should vote for 2. Most votes wins! Stay tuned for results, as I will be posting this on Facebook and MySpace too...
About Me
- Mark
- I've always wondered if people actually read this stuff. I never do when I'm on other pages. Well, in case, for some strange reason, you find it necessary, I'll give you a little knowledge. I was born in The County. For those of you who don't konw better, that would be Aroostook County. For those of you who do, your jokes won't work on me, they are lame. I'm the son of an investment banker that squandered his every penny on tuna fish sandwiches in the late 80's, and my mother was the lead singer for the Bangles. Neither of those is true, but again, I'm convinced nobody is reading this anyways. I met my wife at a carnival, and we were married by the bearded lady in front of the entire clown brigade. I have a daughter who is training for the 2012 Olympics where she will compete in the Triple Jump and Javelin. We live in a nice little shanty in the woods and are hoping to one day have running water. Any questions?
