Brazen Head Cask Ale Festival Review

Went to the Brazen Head Cask Ale Festival last night. It's the 1st time I went to the Brazen Head. It's a nice place. Everybody was very friendly. As soon as I got in I bought 2 10oz tickets. the 1st 2 beers I had was the Cape Ann's Fisherman's navigator and the Otter Creek Sea Otter Baltic Porter ( very tasty almost like a stout). The Green Flash West Coast IPA (you can smell the hops before dinking a very strong tasty beer). A must try beer, very unusual. Since I'm a big fan of Stoudts beers (took a tour of the brewery) I had to try the Scarlet Lady ESB - 1st sip is on the bitter side, as I got use to the taste it went down smoother. All the beers were very good. Alex Hall was serving the beer with 2 helpers. His wife was there also, both very friendly, I got there 7ish last night, very good crowd but not overcrowded. At 10PM when I left no casks had emptied, but I heard the Sea Otter was getting low. It was not as crowded as last year, I overheard the owner mention that last year the NY Times wrote an article about the upcoming brewfest.
Kelly and Sonya from Kelso Brewery were there. Chris from Chelsea Brewery was in attendance (he gave me a free drink ticket) I also met a couple of employees and the brewer from Sixpoint. Chatted with a couple of other beer enthusiasts.
All in all a very good cask Ale festival. Got to try some good beer for not a lot of money. I'd recommend heading out if you can.

Craft Brew Notes & Observations part II

Section 1. Business Incorporation The first thing I want to talk about is incorporating a business. The best thing to do is set up your business as a regular corporation (sometimes referred to as a C corporation. Then I would fill out the state and federal forms to make it an S corporation. If you have 2 partners each person would get a form K1 at the end of the year. Each person would take the profit or loss and put it on their individual return and it would be taxed at the personal rate rathe… Continue

Craft brew notes and observations Part I

Here are some thoughts and observations: How do we define craft beer - Craft beer is hard to categorize. domestic beers using 100% malted barley rather than rice or corn. Since craft beer in the U.S. has a 4% market share, there is definetely room to grow. Check this intersting report about Oregon. The same can be done on Long Island. There are now two breweries on Long Island, Bluepoint and Southampton. There is room for more quality, long Island brewers using locally grown hops, barley and oth… Continue

After checking out the auto show we headed down to Chinatown for some authentic Chinese food. We finally found a restaurant with no wait on Bowery St. The food was ver… Continue

How to drink a beer

Jan 08, 2008 10:47 AM How to drink a bottle of beer. How to drink a bottle of beer – a Primer. Hugh Sisson's Diary of a Brewer There has been much controversy on how to correctly enjoy a good bottle of beer. There are those who believe that simply popping off the top and throwing it down the old gullet post haste – otherwise known as the “guzzle” – is the method for achieving maximum enjoyment. However, there is another school of thought which takes a more studied approach, and requires a sligh… Continue

Walter,
When you commented back to Randy, you hit the wrong button. He never got that. You replied to yourself.

Hi Randy,

It was nice meeting you also, on the way home I stopped off at Bluepoint Brewery, had a pint of Spring Fling for $5.00 and you get to keep the glass. Can't beat that. They sold a lot of the He'Brew beers. I liked the Jewbilation 10 the best. I bought that and the RIPA.
