Cosmic Tortoise Brewing

We just tapped our first Pumpkin Ale. If you're in Eugene, stop by for a taste, or a pint!. If you like pumpkin, we think you'll like our Pumpkin Ale. It's brewed with organic pumpkin, and a home-made blend of pumpkin pie spices (ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice).

We're kegging, and bottling our Cascadian Dark Ale this evening. 5 gallons is going into the keg, and 5 gallons into bottles and the beer will be conditioned (carbonated) in the bottles. We'll tap the keg tomorrow night, and the bottles will be ready in 8-10 days. Call or message us if you want to come by for a taste!

It's Sunday. And since we brew beer about every other Sunday, there's a 50% chance that we'll be brewing today. And since we didn't brew anything new last Sunday, that means there's a 100% chance that we're in the brewhouse today, cooking up something tasty.

So, what exactly do we have on the brew schedule today?, you might ask. Well, even if you didn't ask, I'll tell you. Today we are exBEERimenting with something new. Have you noticed the recent popularity of CASCADIAN DARK ALE? We have, and we've tried the one called Succession, from HUB (Hopworks Urban Brewery) and it was quite good. So we're in the brewhouse today, creating our own version of a Cascadian Dark (CDA). It's not a copy of Succession, but the good taste of that beer got our creative juices flowing.

Again, thanks to our friends who came by and shared the fun of tasting beer and sipping a pint. Cheers.

After a month long brewing break for the holidays, and Daniel's birthday (Happy Birthday, Daniel!),we're back in the brewhouse today. Daniel and Matt and I are brewing up a batch of Garnet Red Ale. It's arguably our favorite beer that we brewed when we were brewing from extract. We are trying to approximate the good flavor of that beer, with an all grain recipe. It'll be in the keg in a couple of weeks. Send us a message if you want to come by and taste it. Or, come to the tasting, set for Feb. 24, at the brewhouse!
