Public Hearing

We had our public hearing yesterday and after a few nervous moments we were approved for our tasting room! Hooray!

Tim, Nick and Chad brewed their second batch - our organic IPA on Monday and it smells great. Finally starting to smell like a brewery!

The Pale stopped bubbling today so it is ready to keg. Chad took the hydrometer readings and it is going to be 5.2% alcohol - a nice light pale. It looks great, smells great and tastes even better. We were all a little surprised that it turned out so good on our first try! We will let you be the judge.

I don't have much time to blog because I am going over our Organic System Plan and getting all of our records and audit trail squared away before our inspection tomorrow.
