WPB Brewing Update

Second Batch - Scottish Ale - Name: Blackbeard's Delight

Scottish Ales traditionally go through a long boil in the kettle for a caramelization of the wort. This produces a deep copper to brown in colored brew and a higher level of unfermentable sugars which create a rich mouthfeel and malty flavors and aromas. Overall hop character is low, light floral or herbal, allowing its signature malt profile to be the highlight. Smoky characters are also common.

This stuff had some crazy fermentation action in the first 24 hours, thus the blow off tube. I think it will be a beer that Blackbeard himself would indulge in.

WPB Brewing Co.

I chose the name WPB Brewing Co. It was suggested by my brother Rob. It means With Pint & Book, thus WPB. It basically combines two great things, beer and reading.

First Batch - Red Ale - Name: The Chupacabran Revenge

A bit sweet, with a lightly hopped tea-like flavor, and an even dextrinous body, Red Ales are easy to please. Look for well-rounded and blanced flavors, and a pleasant toasted malt character in many examples. A drying finish is common.

This looks strangly familiar.....
