Front Street Brewery

A bit of exciting news in the brewery this week.  We received four freshly emptied Jim Beam barrels!!!  So I plan to fill all four up and let some beer age in them for a few months.  The first beer to head in to the dark, woody, bourbony confines of the barrel will be our Port City IPA.  It will be filled friday and we’ll let it sit for around 4 to 6 months depending on how the beer matures.  Next in line will be our Dram Tree Scottish.  What goes in to the other two barrels is still up in the air, but I do have a few good ideas that I will fill you in on when the time is right.  I would love to use some beer and fruit in one of the barrels……maybe some sour cherries…….only time will tell.

My assistant Brian suggested we put my other assistant Kyle in one of the barrels and then steal his ipod and take his lunch money.  After much consideration I had to say no to that.  The logistics of fitting Kyle in to the barrel would be far too much to handle.  Maybe we’ll just steal his ipod and lunch money anyway.  Keep on drinking my beer.  The more brewing I do the happier I am.  No one likes a grumpy Brewer.  Until next time……………..Check out how the barrels are made here.

Cheers,

Kevin
