A Hoppy June
Believe it or not, it’s already June!! This is a multi-subject blog this time. The first subject is, of course, THE HOPS!!!! Look at those things! They should be at the top of the rope sometime in the next three weeks for a total height of 25 feet.
The next subject is all of the tasty beer coming up here at The Alchemist. I’ve just finished carbonating the new batches of Mortal Sin and The Crusher. They will both be released some time in the next week, so look out for a new tweet announcing the exact time. We’ve gone ahead and added a little something for your viewing pleasure. It is the episode of Bugs Bunny from which The Crusher got its’ name. The name of the short is “Bunny Hugged” and it is as hilarious as ever. Enjoy…..
I’ve got a new batch of Petit Mutant fermenting as you read this, and I will be making our first 7 barrel batch of gluten free beer this Sunday. Celia Framboise will be a Belgian-inspired sorghum beer fermented with red raspberries and pomegranate. Celia IPA will be brewed in a few weeks in time for the Vermont Brewers Festival. And don’t forget, Rapture will be making a return in July as well.
Lastly, I would like to ask all of you to kindly take the time (about 5 minutes) to go to the following link and fill out the 7 Days Vermont Daisies Reader Picks. We have never asked our customers to fill out this form, because quite frankly, I always spaced it. But this year is different and we are on top of it. The most important categories are 15-Best Brewpub, and 18- Best Apres Ski. If you’d like to give a nod to our web designer, it is Moosedog Studios of Stowe.
Thank you all for making our little pub such a fun place to be.
