Front Street Brewery

It’s been a while since I last wrote and I blame all of you people.  I have been making beer constantly and am still having trouble keeping up.  So all of you folks that come in to FSB and drink my beer………or all of you people that go to the hammerheads or sharks games and drink my beer……..or any of you that drink my beer at another restaurant or bar………you’re to blame for the lack of blog updates.  It’s not a bad thing…….I’m happy to be brewing and even happier that I am making folks happy with my delicious adult beverages.

Good news is that I did manage to find a bit of time to socialize.  Socializing this time of the year is probably my favorite because it’s the beginning of the Wilmington Sharks games and the start of the Hammerheads season.  Life is good.  I love the Hammerheads and especially love the Sharks games.  Sorry I’m a bit partial, but I played baseball in college, so my heart and soul loves baseball.  This year I even get to drink my own beer at the Shark Tank.  Scottish and Raspberry are pouring at the ball games.  The best news yet is that there is a free trolley running from FSB to the Sharks games and back for any games thursday through saturday.  It really doesn’t get any better than that.  So come on down and join us for a few beers at the brewery then hop on the trolley with us and enjoy a few more beers at the ball game.  Heckling the opposing teams right fielder is encouraged as long as you keep it clean.  So come on out to the ball game and cheer the Sharks on.  There’s an 85% chance I’ll be on the trolley with you, so introduce yourself and make friends……..because I like new friends.   My friends also like new friends. 

I also had the pleasure of meeting Miss U.S.A last week.  She and her entourage came in to FSB for some early dinner and they really seemed to enjoy themselves.  I know that she’s supposed to be nice for a living, but she really seemed like a genuinely kind hearted person.  She took a few photo’s with us and was on her way full and happy.  We’re really glad she came in. 

As for the beer world seasonal’s are going to be turning over pretty quickly now that the season has begun.  We have Altbier, Kolsch and Chocolate Stout pouring as seasonal’s right now.   Chocolate Stout is almost out and a Dark Mild will be following that.  Perfect session beer for the summer months.  We’ll also be tapping an Organic Hefeweizen on June 11th.  We partnered up with Cape Fear River Watch and will be donating a portion of the sales of that beer to their cause.  So come on out and drink an Organic beer and help save the river.  The Organic Hefe will be pouring all summer and will most likely be a hot seller.  Just remember there’s no need to put a lemon in the Hefe.  There aren’t any lemon trees in Germany so why would you ruin a delicious Hefeweizen with a lemon?
