Exactly, I could have squeaked out 3rd then. :) haha. Was a good time though.

In hindsight... yes! ;)

Last night was an awesome time. We had a great turn out (I am guessing almost 55 or people) and pretty much everything ran smoothly. I’d like to thank everyone that came out, but I would especially like to thank the people who helped out. Jeff La...

Our next meeting is on Tuesday July 28th, 7:00pm, at the Hulmeville Inn

War of the Weizens

Tuesday June 30th is the date for our first internal competition which I am entitling War of the Weizens. These should be out Big Brew day Hefeweizens that we brewed back in the beginning of May.

To enter your beers, you will need to bring 2 bottles. Since this is going to be small and we don’t have a any other styles, entry is easy. Just write your name on a two pieces of paper and attach it to the bottles with a rubber band. That’s it. We will do the rest.

We have some prizes to give away too, courtesy of Bob Wright!

1st Place - $50 Gift Cert to Wine Barley and Hops
2nd Place - $25 Gift Cert to Either Wine Barely and Hops or The Hulmeville Inn.
3rd Place - $25 Gift Cert to whichever 2nd place winner didn’t pick. (WBH or Hulmeville)

Be sure to bring extra bottles of your Hefeweizen so the rest of the group can taste your brew. It will be interesting to taste all the differences between beers created with identical recipes.

On top of all this, Lee Marren from Stone Brewing will be with us to talk about the delicious beers from Stone!

See what's on tap at the Hulmeville Inn right now.

Homebrewing in the Philly Suburbs

So I'm finally getting into homebrewing. I started a blog called Suburban Brewing to document my endeavors. Check it out if you get a chance!

Oldest Brewery In The USA Re-rediscovered On The Delaware River

I thought you might enjoy this...

In the late 70s and 80s, a New Jersey historian named Dr. Henry Bisbee plotted out the grounds of the first governor of West Jersey's late 1600s mansion, including his various outbuildings and neighbors, near the Delaware River in Burlington, NJ. He had the help of civil engineers and other historians, and used old photos, drawings, written descriptions, and especially deed surveys from 1745.

They drew up a plot plan based on all that, using similar 17th centu… Continue

Pennsylvania Breweries: here we go again

Looks like Lew Bryson is re-writing Pennsylvania Breweries and is looking for some knowlegable input. Who better to opine than our Aleiens?

For some reason the link won't post. Sorry.
I had the 2nd edition and gave it to a friend when I got the 3rd. The 4th sounds like it will be a winner!

Green Parrot Irish Pub visit

I was in Newtown for dinner Saturday night. After sushi I convinced my friend to visit the Parrot with me for a beer. She's not a beer drinker, but a really good sport. I had read Lew Bryson's blog about his Parrot visit last week. I was hoping they might have read it, too, but my experience was almost identical.
Got there about 9 and the bar area was PACKED. And BRIGHT. Too bright for a "pub", IMHO. We wended our way to the opposite side of the large rectangular bar where we managed to a) revie… Continue
