I’ve always been a little embarrassed that I like J.W. Dundee’s. It’s a cheap ass beer. I bought a 12-pack today for 8 bucks. It included: IPA Amber Lager Honey Brown Pale Ale Hefe Weizen Pale Bock With the exception of the Honey Brown, which I really hate and only drink because it’s part of …

Open Beer Thread
Don’t ask about batch one because I don’t want to talk about it. Pouring that much would-have-been beer into a drain feels like an almost unforgivable party foul. Batch 2, a hoppy porter based on extract and mixed crystal malts, went well except that the boiling wort needed more attention than expected. The homemade wort …

Friday Beer Blogging – A Hefe-Weizen And More
Now that summer has abruptly fallen over and died, in the mid-Atlantic states anyway, I figure that it is seasonally-inappropriate enough to take another look at the hefe-weizen style. Hefes come from a mix of wheat and malted barley that gives a crisp texture reminiscent of citrus and sunshine, perfect for serving with an orange …
