Week Wrap Up/Hefeweizen Update

After what turned out to be a pretty busy week, we wrapped things up with a short bottling day on Thursday. Jim and I and Harmony kicked out 120 cases of Gold Lager, which will be sent out to the distributor next week. So, despite getting a pass on the Monday bottling, I didn't escape the week without a bottling day. It was short and quick, the best kind of bottling day. Zach closed out the brewing week with a second day Nutbrown. Looks like we'll start brewing again on Sunday and keep on going through next Friday. This time of year is considered our busy season and the demands for the beer are certainly increasing. We seem to be running through our in-house supplies pretty fast. The beer that we have the most trouble keeping on tap is our Hefeweizen. Always a favorite, this beer has been disappearing like mad lately. I am happy to report that a fresh batch was put on tap yesterday and is pouring very nicely. We don't have another Hefe in tank yet, so get it while you can. In addition, we started bottling the Hefeweizen in March. It went to our distributor in late April and has shown up at Top Shelf Liquors in Sedona. It should be in other locations throughout Northern Arizona. Keep your eyes out for the Bavarian blue six packs and ask for it if you don't see it. Just don't forget to swirl that last little bit in the bottle and pour it in your glass.
