I am brewing a special beer for Indigo this year to bring to retreat but also want some input for the second pony keg ~
summer flavors are abundant right now to add and infuse with beer ~
what flavors do you like?
here are some examples ~
ginger lime wheat ~ blond beer base with fresh lime juice and ginger root ~ the ginger root is really light and delicate on the palate :)
Fiesta wheat ~ blond beer with roasted anaheim and pablano peppers, fresh lemon juice and a hint of cilantro yum!
spanish coffee porter ~ porter based with hints of cinnamon and coffee oohhhhh yeah!
Black Opal IPA ~ black based IPA (normally golden) with a lovely hop palate ~ imagine a stout with hop flavors :)
Vanilla Baby Stout ~ my barley cup trophy winner ~ sweet american stout with vanilla drooool ~
Hot Rob Wheat ~ wheat based with many roasted jalepenos
those are some of the things I've done and love playing with flavors and hops ~ give me your input and let me know what you think :)
much love
your brewmistress Jen

Re: Two special brews this year ~
Fri, July 24, 2009 - 9:11 AMO.M.G.! Ginger lime wheat! That sounds awesome!
The spanish coffee porter and vanilla baby stout both sound yummy, but kind of heavy for hot weather.
Ginger Lime Wheat is my vote!

but being the coffe fanatic I'd be down to try the coffee brew.... but yeah that may be better if I get a chance to come and visit Zephyr in the fall / winter;)
Ginger Lime Wheat! Ginger Lime Wheat! Ginger Lime Wheat! -

Fri, July 24, 2009 - 7:03 PMJen, I think it's gonna be unanimous... Everyone wants the porter.... oh, I mean the ginger lime wheat :) (This one was also my vote, though the vanilla baby stout ROCKS!) -

Fri, July 24, 2009 - 7:08 PMSounds like the Ginger Lime Wheat is the winnah! Score !
The special brew for Indigo is Bumble Blue Pale Ale ~ it sounds like she would be in her garden with flowers and home and family all about her :)
Nice pale ale with a hop palate that won't overwhelm you like some IPA's do ~
What a great combo we have put together! -

Bumble Blue Pale Ale. Yup, I can see Indigo and Tehya running around in their garden with the bees and flowers and dragon flies flitting all about them.

Sat, July 25, 2009 - 8:52 AMOOOh! Home brews. I knew you all were my kind of girls. I'm for the ginger/lime myself. Normally I'm a guinness and the like sort, but it's too hot for heavy brews! -

Mon, August 3, 2009 - 11:06 AMWell, this just clinches it for me--bellydancing and good beer too! It all sounds good, but fiesta wheat would be my choice, then the ginger lime wheat. Bennie -
