Zon Jager Wit Beer
It's spring time damnit! It's time to drink a beer that makes you think about warm weather. Zon Jager is a hazy Belgian-style Wit with a pale orange complextion. It's spiced with lemon and orange peel as well as coriander and secret spices. It finishes clean and refreshing with just a hint of bitterness and clocks in at 5% abv.
Aught Six Ale *three kegs left*
English style ESB (Extra Special Bitter) 5.5% ABV
Traditional English ale brewed with floor malted English Malts, balanced against East Kent Golding and Fuggles hops.
Brilliant! Dry Irish Stout
It's that time of year again. When the south siders parade about, when they dye the river green, and when your friends think it's cool to pretend they are Irish. To commerate we are offering Brilliant!, a opaque and creamy stout with a silky mouthfeel. It's served on nitrogen so watch for cascades, and erin go bleargh!
X-IPA *1 Keg Left!!*
Imperial India Pale Ale 7.5% ABV
This big, hoppy beast was brewed with 100% Amarillo hops, giving it a big citrusy aroma that follows you throughout the entire pint.

Field trip to Indiana
Recently, all of our tanks were spotless, all the kegs were clean, the beer was brewed, and not one single thing was left to do at work, so Matt and I took a field trip to Three Floyds, our neighboors to the east.
I drank the hell out of their Moloko Plus milk stout that's on right now. Matt enjoyed some Berlinner Weiss, flavored with blueberry syrup. I demolished a Muffuletta sandwich that was Muff*%$!@ delish. I can't remember what Matt ate but Trent doesn't make any bad food.
As we were eating, Trent brought out their new "Southbeach" brownie concoction that involved brownies, ice cream, milk stout, and other good things. Guaranteed to help you shed those winter pounds.
If you haven't been to the pub yet, I don't know what the hell you are waiting on, and if you are going to Floyds, there isn't any reason not to swing by Flossmoor on your way there or the way back.

Dwarf Hops
So we just brewed an IPA with Brewer Supply Group's new dwarf hop variety "Summit."
[Appropriately named, a new hop variety called “Summit” was recently released by Brewer Supply Group. The hop boosts alpha acid values between 17-19%. A new concept to the U.S. hop industry, Summit is a dwarf variety grown using a low-trellis system. Because dwarf hops are picked gently in the field, as opposed to their taller cousins which must be cut and transported, dwarf varieties are of the highest quality.
Recent trials have discovered strong orange and tangerine citrus notes in its flavor. Ideally suited for brewing American style IPA’s and Double IPA, Summit is an excellent bittering hop. Cohumulone levels are low at 25-28% of alpha.]
Once X-IPA runs out, and this is ready, it will be on. Look out for the biggest, shortest beer you've ever had.
3/16/06 update
p.s.
Get excited, it smells like a Florida country market in the brewhouse right now.

Wit-less Jerks
Tuesday we brewed the Belgian style Wit that I mentioned here earlier. Here are a few photos to act as an alibi.
These are seeds from a Cilantro plant.
These are flavorful dried skins of citrus fruits.
Me, breaking open the corriander seeds in a blender.
The left is a glass filled with wort before the boil,
the right is a glass filled with wort from the end of the boil.
