Summer Time

When Summer time comes to Wilmington it brings many things with it.  Visits to the beach, suntans, new sunglasses, new flip flops, baseball season, scantily clad women, afternoon thunderstorms which lead to instant nap time and of course tourists.  June 21st is the actual first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, but summer starts earlier here in Wilmington.  The weather is a factor of course.  It will usually start to warm up here in early April.  The other reason summer starts earlier in Wilmington is that the Kolsch is on tap as of yesterday.  It’s sort of an inside joke that summer starts with the tapping of the Kolsch.  We run the Keller Pilsner in the fall and winter and the Kolsch in the Spring and Summer.  A few of my friends and I decided that summer begins when the Kolsch is tapped and summer is officially over when the last batch runs out and the Pilsner is tapped.  So this year Summer officially started on April 13th according the to Front St. Brewery calender.  So if I kept Kolsch on year round would that mean that we would have an endless summer?  It may be worth a shot.

Also I’m going to do an experiment.  I know there’s a lot of people that are in love with our Raspberry Wheat and that’s good, but with this experiment I plan to make it even better.  I just ordered some fruit puree from Oregon and plan on trying out a batch of Raspberry with the puree.  I’ve used the puree before and had great results at other breweries so I think that our diehard Razz drinkers shouldn’t have a problem enjoying the new and improved Raspberry Wheat.  It is a slightly more expensive product than what I’m using now, but we don’t mind here at FSB.  We would rather bring you a better product since we’re that passionate about our beer.  So keep an eye out for the new Raspberry Wheat in about a month or so.  I’ll be sure to save some of the older Raspberry so some of you can compare each beer side by side and let me know what you think.  Happy Summer!!!

Cheers,

Kev

Restaurant Olympics

I’m happy to announce that Front St. Brewery won a Silver Medal at the first annual WAHA Restaurant Olympics.  There were 8 events in total and teams had around 6 members each.  Competition was tough but we held our own against some great teams and ended up coming out with a Silver medal.  We won two events outright.  Aaron Blakely and myself rocked the fish toss and beat all comers.  I guess my outfielder experience along with his fish expertise helped us win that event.  Aaron and Justin Lamott won the mine field challenge.  It was a two man event where one person(Justin) was blindfolded and Aaron had to talk  Justin through the minefield without letting him step on a mine.  I’m pretty sure Justin did it in world record time.  He was clocked in at 11 seconds.  Most people were doing the event in a little over a minute.  Rachel, Kara, Justin and Aaron did an amazing job with the server/bartender obstacle course where they had to carry a tray one handed with two full wine glasses through some cones and hand it off to each other.  I smartly stayed out of that event.  I’m still sore from the dodgeball event.  Out of all the people there I was one of five left on the court when I got knocked out with a ball to the elbow.  I really wanted to win that event.   I’m glad we took home a medal, but overall it was just a great day for some of our staff to get away from work for a day and enjoy themselves, which I’m certain they did.  We’ll be back next year to defend our medal and hopefully come home with the gold.  A big thanks goes out to the Blockade Runner for holding the event at their awesome facility.  I hope there wasn’t too much damage to the place.

As for some beer news……we’re getting ready to ship a few of our beers out to Hickory for the Carolina Championships of Beer.  Hopefully we’ll bring home some medals.  As for new beers on the horizon we have an Irish Red coming out fairly soon and a Belgian Golden that will be on tap in the next few weeks.  A lot of people have been asking for the Biere de Garde………don’t fret……..I’ll be brewing one up soon so keep an eye out.  I hope all of you are doing well out there in Internetwebland.  Keep drinking good beer!!

My Precious

About a month ago or so my assistant brewer Tim was dry hopping a beer.  After finishing up the job he then realized that his wedding ring was no longer where it should have been.  We scoured the brewery looking for it with no luck at all.  We then came to the realization that it must be at the bottom of the fermenter.  Unfortunately there was really nothing we could do until the beer was transferred out of that tank into the serving tank which would be about a month.  It was a bummer, but his wife did not kill or castrate him for this mistake.  As long as it would be recovered everything would be fine.

So we waited and waited and waited and then had a beer………then waited a little bit more.  It was finally time to transfer that beer to its serving tank.  Hopes were high…spirits were up…..and then they were crushed when we realized that the ring was neither in the bottom of the fermenter, nor in any of the hop bags that we dry hopped the beer with.  We were crushed.  We figured he might have dropped it in the alley or somewhere outside……thus most certainly being picked up by a gypsy where it was most certainly then melted down and turned into a medallion that could cast evil spells on people.  Or maybe he lost it elsewhere.  Either way it was nowhere to be found and we were both sad.  So we had a beer.

Yesterday I was brewing our American Amber.  It’s a fairly hoppy beer with a nice helping of American hops.  As I was adding a bucket of the hops I heard a strange clank on the bottom of the kettle.  I thought little of it.  After emptying the kettle I was spraying out the kettle getting rid of all the excess hops when I spotted what looked to me like treasure.  I was ecstatic.   Finally it was my turn.  I could get this treasure and melt it down into a medallion that could cast evil spells on people……or take it to the pawn shop and get some quick cash for it.  So I looked around to make sure noone saw me and jumped in the kettle to claim my precious.  When I picked it up I realized what it was.  This ring would not turn me invisible, nor would it make me rich beyond my wildest dreams, nor would it make me supreme leader of the gypsy realm.  It was in fact Tim’s wedding ring.  Apparently he must have lost it in one of the open bags of hops that we store in the walk in cooler.  While opening a bag to dry hop that beer a month ago it must have fell in there and sat for another month until I used that particular hop again.  After returning the ring to Tim he was pleased.  His wife was more pleased and his mom was most pleased.  It was a happy ending.  One day hopefully I’ll find treasure that I can claim as my own.

Beer making happenings.

     First and foremost I want to thank everyone who attended or helped out with the Jim Beam dinner.  We all got to meet Fred Noe and he was a terrific guy.  Very personable and he seemed to enjoy himself.  A huge thanks goes out to Pat Gaynor and his kitchen crew.  They did a fantastic job with the food.  I could probably eat that duck dish everyday for the rest of my life(although it would probably be a short life).   I really learned a good deal about bourbon as well.  My favorites had to be the Booker’s and the Knob Creek.  The beers also turned out really well too.  The Scottish and Spring Brew with Raspberries seemed to be the crowd favorites.  All of the beers will be released December 5th in growlers on a first come first served basis.  We’ll probably be opening the doors a little bit early that day, but I will be sure to let everyone know exactly what the plan is when we get a bit closer.

As for new beers on the way.  I will be transferring a Baltic Porter soon.  10 kegs of that will be going to the St. Stan’s Polish Festival  on November 7th.   I’m of Polish heritage so I’ll be sure to be out there enjoying some of the beer and food.  I’ll have a Double IPA coming out within the next two weeks as well.  Both the Baltic Porter and Double IPA are firsts for Front St.
