Weedwacker Bottles



This is old news. Old news can still be good news. And this IS good news:
Weedwacker is now in bottles! It should start showing up on store shelves tomorrow. The label looks similar to Lawnmower except the yard has gone to seed. Oh, and the white sticky across the Lawnmower label that announces "Weedwacker". You will note its nice, hazy appearance, the result of both the fact that it is not filtered and that hefeweizen yeast is notorious for not flocking. We hope you enjoy this beer as much as we are!

Flying Saucer Fall Beer Festival Date Announced



Not sure how I missed this, but Flying Saucer tweeted last week that their annual Fall Beer Fest will be happening October 1. See you in four months.

Jester King Stuff



First, this past Friday JK brewed their latest session beer, a Berliner Weisse:
. . . a sour, very pale wheat beer, fermented with a combination of saccharomyces (standard beer yeast) and lactobacillus (souring bacteria).

Love that style. Can't wait to see how it turns out.



Then, today JK tweeted that they are bottling Drink'in the Sunbelt, their collaboration brew with Mikkeller.
