Panther from Rhinegeist Brewery
I’ve been in porter & stout mode since August. I imagine the cravings I was going through is what some folks experience from lack of pumpkin beers (though I can only assume.) Whenever I saw a porter or stout available, I snagged it. We’re finally approaching that time of year when even grocery stores have […]

Chili at Great Flood Brewing Company
Great Flood Brewing Company hosts quarterly events for members of its Flood Liars Club. Amber and I are inaugural members: we attended the High Water Series tasting early in the year, but we didn’t make it out to the bottle share this summer. We definitely wanted to attend the Chili Cook Off this week and Ber […]

Great Flood Brewing Company has been the new kid brewery on the block in Louisville for one year now. No, really, tomorrow is their one year anniversary. I’m not part of the “Louisville Beer Snobs,” but I am part of the “people that love awesome things in Louisville” so I found Great Flood to be […]
Tonight’s date night was bottling our small batch of braggot. It’s coming in just over 11% ABV and plenty of honey taste but malty mouthfeel. We’ll let these bottle condition for a couple months to properly mellow out, but then we have the honey for another batch this summer.
