Brett on Brett

Follow my transition from home brewer to craft brewer. What you'll see here: Me learning the brewing business, geeking out on the brewing process, what I'm drinking and my musing on what I learn as I begin study at the American Brewers Guild. And of course I'll talk a lot about my favorite yeast, brettanomyces (or brett.) Hence, Brett on Brett.

Great to finally try @hitchhikerbrewing beers. Great sours and IPAs. Nice work @jagoffbrewer ! #craftbeer #pittsburgh #sharpsburg (at Hitchhiker Brewing)

This was nice. 2-yr-old lambic with oolong tea. #cantillon #zwanzeday2017 (at Spuyten Duyvil NYC)

Lost count of how many times I've had to slip through this narrow passageway this week. We've set a new capacity record for @kegandlantern. (at Keg & Lantern Brewing Company)

Oh @holymtnbrewing how wonderful are your mixed fermentation beers!?! This gin-barrel aged Freigeist Broyhan collab is amazing. (at Holy Mountain Brewing)

Lunch in #ballardseattle @meanseattle an awesome sardine sandwich and @cloudburstbrew verse chorus verse, which is not only a great #ipa, but a #nirvana reference.

2nd stop in #seattle @reubensbrews for some #hoppy #brettanomyces and #sour beers. Excellent as ever. (at Reuben's Brews)

So nice to come in and find the Brett double IPA you brewed yesterday rocking out of the blowoff. (at Keg & Lantern Brewing Company)

Knocking out a Flanders-style red ale into barrels for primary fermentation. #sourbeer #thinkdrinkny (at Keg & Lantern Brewing Company)

@djoffbeat is rehydrating our new babies from @redhookwinery. These will be filled with our @61local collaboration ale and some #lambic style beer. #sourbeer #thinkdrinkny (at Keg & Lantern Brewing Company)

Digging into the archives tonight. This is the last bottle of Doomsday, the imperial stout I brewed on 12/21/2012, the day the Maya believed the world was going to end. #homebrew #stout #wildeast (at Park Slope)

When in #Vermont: Two of my favorite places @hillfarmstead and @alchemistbeer #craftbeer

Amazing lunch beers @thebruery terreux tasting room. All #sourbeer and #brettanomyces (at Bruery Terreux Tasting Room)

[brettonbrett]

Sooo many good beers @monkishbrewing. A NE IPA that would make a Vermonter blush, barrel-aged saison and jolly pumpkin collab. #Torrence #cali #craftbeer (at Monkish Brewing Co.)

[brettonbrett]

Awesome beers @smogcitybeer. Especially liked the kumquat #saison #craftbeer #torrence

Say hello to Wild East IPA. A juicy north east, #Brettanomyces fermented #ipa. #homebrew #craftbeer

[brettonbrett]

Kegged some black sour beer for #Homebrewcon club night, and blended some lambic and added 4 lbs of @erikbrynildsen NJ cherries. #kriek #sourbeer #wildeast
