NOW ON TAP: THREE BEERS!

Beerindipity Mocha Stout, Master Will's ICA, and the Rye.P.A. 

Those of you who have spent time in the "Left of Center Brewhouse"  know that this line up is particularly exciting because we just put in the third tap!  A shout out should, at this point, go out to my fantastic Mother and Father, who gave us the tap for Christmas, "THANKS! Love you!" The first beer to be on the new tap is Morgan's Beerindipity Mocha Stout, it's Morgan's first beer ever.  How appropriate.  Sometime you should ask her how it got it's name, it's a good story of the universe unfolding as it should.

I don't have a lot to talk about on the beer front, we have been slacking after Parent's Weekend, but plan on doing a double batch sometime this week to make up for it. We only have 2 in fermenters, the Chocolate Burbon Stout, which ages until Christmas, and Cinco de Humdinger, the fifth version of the Humdinger IRA brewed on Cinco de Mayo.

With all the time not spent in the brewery, though, we have been spending our time gardening.  Somehow playing in the dirt is incredibly cleansing and the spring is starting to make itself known.  I noticed today that there was just one tiny patch of snow on Mary's Peak, it's time to plant! So, I thought I'd share some garden photos with you and tell you what we have going on.  Next time you come to the brewery you can also get a garden fresh salad.  Not pictured below are T's potatoes, our strawberry and rhubarb patch, and the yet to be planted other half of the garden.  

Hoop House with 14 tomatoes and some 

squash and pumpkin seedlings in front.

Hops! Mt. Hood, Willamette, and Fuggles.  

We got the Fuggles (middle) last year at the Market 

and the others this year, as rhizomes, at the Brew Shop.

Sunflowers, Dill, Lettuce, Spinach, Thyme, and Oregano

Josta Berries from T's Grandpa

Can anyone name this?  We're stumped.

It also came from T's Grandpa.

Enjoy your spring and I wish you happy growing!
