Cherry Porter - Just a few weeks left to buy fresh cherries

Redwood Chocolate Ale

Introducing our new Redwood Chocolate Ale, made with 500 gm of chocolate malt and our Barons Redwood Ale - recipe available in our stores.  The final product is an extremely dark, rich ale.  Redwood has become my favorite because it's snappy and robust.  The chocolate creates a great background flavour that, in it's own way is a bit mellow.  I may be biased here because I am a chocoholic but this ale tends to leave a very characteristic taste that lingers on long after the last mouthful - from Rob the creator of this great beer!

The brewery in my basement

In September I moved into a house with two roommates and a lot of extra space. The carboys, empty bottles, wine rack, corks, and the "art of wine and beer making" certificate of attendance moved in soon after. My roommate Scott always wanted to make his own beer, and our house and its big basement provided the perfect opportunity. Scott loves beer and he loves saving money, so homebrew made sense. I was in complete support of Scott's new hobby. Who doesn't love cheap beer?
