Hey all, apologies for the extended radio silence, but does anyone read these anyway? It’s easier to rationalize not posting anything here if I believe they don’t, so I’m gonna go with that.
On the off chance that you ARE reading this, however, I thought I’d provide some additional context on the most recent Double Elbow release, American Zoigl. This is a very fun project that I am honored to be a part of, but it does require a bit more explanation that some beers. For context, check out this primer on American Zoigl, or for more background on the Franconian Zoigl tradition, this might prove a helpful resource.
The list of breweries who have participated in American Zoigl so far is one I’m pretty excited to be a part of – Goldfinger, Live Oak, Urban Chestnut, Fox Farm, Human Robot, Schilling, Good Word, Seedz, and now lil’ old me. I am excited to see who I’ll be sending the star off to in 2026, but in the meantime, please come down to the Little Thistle taproom and share a half liter with us in the spirit of “kommunbrau!”
