It’s difficult to believe, but it’s been a year already. 9 beers in – 11 batches if you include re-brews of Tonks Tuesday and Inputs & Outputs – with plenty more planned for this fall and winter. The de-facto anniversary beer is a special one – a collaboration with Bierstadt Lagerhaus from Denver, CO. I’ve known Bill and Ashleigh for a while now, and this is the second collaboration I’ve done with them.
Check out some words about the beer here, and go find it in stores and at bars now. Probably won’t last too long.
For the 2021 version of Side Pull, my first collaboration with Bierstadt, Ashleigh and Bill flew their recently-vaccinated selves up to Minneapolis and I re-discovered what a hangover is after a year of pandemic isolation. That brew day produced one of my favorite brewery pictures featuring me, Joe Wells, Bill, and Ashleigh, and so this time around I thought it’d be fun to re-create it with the crew at Little Thistle. We’re all so cute.
