Peeper Ale here on Sunday

Greetings beer lovers,
So, this Sunday we have a log of Peeper Ale from Maine Brewing Co. to add to the line up on tap. Peeper was the first Maine B/C's beer available and is sure to please those with a hankering for hops. A pale ale with heart I like to call it. Lots of resin in this baby. Come on by and give it a go if you haven't tasted Peeper yet and if you have come on by and have one of our tasty elixirs. Cheers! Todm

'05 Smuttonator on tap for Sunday the 12th

Greetings beer lovers,
Wow, it has been a while since I posted and fortunately not too much happened while I was away. I was away for two days doing a little skiing with my bud, Will, from Cambridge Brewing Co. As the title proclaims we, in fact, have a log of '05 Smuttonator here at the pub for taping on Sunday!! It should be awesome. I am anticipating a delicious full bodied amber double bock with some reductive characteristics due to the aging process (but we won't know til we tap it now will we?!) Some other news here is that the Winter Dunkelweizen went by the way of the Doo-Doo bird and was replaced by Murphy's Law Red ale and the 5 C's was replaced by some ESB. A nice easy drinking red beer and an amber beer to help ease the winter blues(?). So, do come by on Sunday to help drink our 11th tap with a glass of Smuttonator. Cheers! Todm

New beers arrive at P-Brew

Greetings beer lovers,

There have been a few changes as of late and one of the new beers we brought on is Righteous Rye from Six Point Brewery out of Brooklyn NY. The Righteous is a strong pale ale weighing in at 7.2% abv with between 51 to 54 IBU's!! Not exactly a pale ale but righteous in it own sense. Big and strong flavors led by the rye malt and hops lend to a perfect winter ale. Check it next to our Winter Rye and see the difference between the two styles..... we did not use as many hops but we incorporated more rye. Two great rye ales on tap at P-Brew now. And speaking of new beers on tap we have replaced our Wheatwine with our Belgian style Tripel. Going from 9.9% abv down to 9% abv was a small price to pay for a truly fruity aromatic (like Juicy Fruit gum) Triple brewed with authentic Belgian ingredients such as yeast, malt and candi syrup. This fine ale has a sweet upfront flavor with a medium mouth-feel followed by a spicy peppery flavor brought on by the unique yeast the beer was fermented with. Lastly we replaced the Coffee Milk Stout with our good old standby Oatmeal Stout. Over 100 pounds of both malted and flaked oats add the softness that quells the acrid flavor usually associated with the high roasted malts used in making stouts. Well that's all for now. Don't forget to come on in for the Sunday special 11th beer line up which will be Six Point's Sweet Action. There might even be some folks mingling down in the Lapanza Lounge during the big game tomorrow along with some tasty treats! Go Pats! Cheers! Todm

OOPS! Sweet Action never made it to the taps!!

Greetings beer lovers! Turns out we were a wee bit pre-occupied this past Sunday cleaning the brewery a to make it a little more efficient and a little less cluttered......and forgot to put on Sweet Action from Six Point out of Brooklyn, NY. Here is what they have to say about this beer...... "Sweet Action is an idea, a concept. It is a simple representation of what makes beer great-the marriage of barley and hoops, in harmonious balance for your mind, body and soul. The experience is transcendental." The color is golden amber @ 31-33 IBUs and 5.2 % abv. This is a tasty beer and why not make a trip to the pub this Sunday and experience transcendence!! Cheers! Todm
PS Growlers will be available on March 5th but no Kate will be put into those growlers!!
PPS Go Pats!

5 C's is finally here!

Greetings beer lovers,
Yes, it is true 5 C's IPA is finally on tap. It was sad to see Clusters Last Stand take a bow but there will be more..... However, what we have lined up now is quite delicious and here is the run down of new beers..... Along with the 5C's is a very limited stash(2 kegs)of Ruthless Rye IPA from Sierra Nevada which will replace Finest Kind 'til Ruthless is gone. Ruthless Rye as the name implies is a Rye IPA that is hoppy and delectable with it's unique rye malt aroma and flavor finished off with the signature Sierra hop character....resinous and floral. We have a touch of Bigfoot also from Sierra to be followed by our Winter Rye which is quite different from the Sierra Nevada Rye product as we were going for full mouth feel and body to assuage the cold winter(?) chill and a good balance between the rye and hops. The Winter Rye weighs in at 6% abv and will pair well with the pasta and meat selections here at P-Brew. Do stop in and try our new offerings. Cheers! Todm

Clusters Last Stand...... good to the last drops!

Hey All,
Looks like everyone loved the Clusters Last Stand as there is less than a keg in Serving Tank #10!! Looks like we'll have to brew another batch soon! There is also a wee bit of the cask of CLS dryhopped with Tomahawk (delicious!) So, all you resin lovers who wanna get your tongues in a tizzy get on down here as the Cluster Last Stand won't probably make it thru the night..... which brings me to our line up for the next few days(?) which will include Winter Rye a burly full bodied Rye Ale brewed for winter ( read big mouthfeel!) and some 5 C's IPA (14 BBL). So all you hopheads around the area will have some hoppy IPA to enjoy. By the looks of how the IPAs are moving the trend is certainly not slowing down at all!! Cheers! Todm
