The Beer is Back!

Here's what we know so far.

Shot a variety of photos for a launch of some new beer.  Glasses of the beer, single cans, cans together dry, cans together with some pizazz.  They were session beers, a beer loosely defined as lower in alcohol content. Targeting the active lifestyle, great taste but not so much of the giddy-up so you can still go about your business without the buzz.

I waited until the beer got on the market to put anything up here.

I heard (or maybe misheard) the beer wasn't happening and chose not to show any pics of it.

I now know that wasn't correct.  An email just came it saying it's still a go.
See the original little teaser post here.

Mavericks...as the surfing community knows, is home to some of the biggest waves in the world and they hold a surfing contest once a year if the conditions are right.  Half Moon Bay, California.  If the waves aren't big enough, they bag it for the year.  Contestants are given like 24 hours to arrive from all over the world when the word is given.

And it's also a beer!

di Paolo

It's done and it's good.  Bottled the nocino I started back in June.  Read all about it here.  I made two different batches.  One with vodka, the other with Everclear.  With the vodka batch I added some charred American Oak the last 50 days.  I think it really mellowed it out.  I still prefer the Everclear batch though, it's clearer and more focused.

Already planning next year's.  Going bigger and trying some different spices/recipes.
