Cream Ale Notes

Rob from the Pug Butt Brewery stopped by last night to help me sample the club Cream Ale and also taste his Stout that he has been resting for about 6 months. Great job on the Stout, Rob! I believe he tried for an Imperial but ended up somewhere around 7%... still it was very nice. You know how the Heartache loves Stouts!

Both of us agreed that the Cream Ale was both very smooth and beautiful and that the carbination was spot on. There was a little spicyness to the back end which we are attributing to the fact that we used a Nottingham Ale yeast. We are very excited to see how Jason's 5 gallons of Lagered Cream Ale from the same batch turned out. I think this beer will definately be a crowd pleaser for the upcoming Earth Day event Later this month.

Cheers!

Camera fun!

I tried to take a few pics of a recent Williamette ESB pint to add some spice to the blog, playing around with the camera's macro setting and what not. I didn't even realize the brew-dog made it in one of the shots until I was uploading them. What can I say? He loves a good cigar and pint of the Heartache's finest just like everyone else...
