New Brewnoser in Halifax

Post by bicyclefence » Thu Apr 12, 2012 9:09 pm

Hey everyone - My name is Kevin,I'm relatively new to the home brewing scene but am absolutely loving it thus far! I started with a Festa Brew kit last Summer and since have gotten into extract recipes, mostly premade kits available from Noble Grape but also a Rye IPA for the Home-Brew challenge which was a blast! I stumbled across these forums after reading the latest post on the Atlantic Canada Beer Blog. Looking forward to perusing these forums and checking out the monthly meet-ups.

Cheers!

Originally from Antigonish but I've been living off and on in Halifax for the past 7 years. I'm currently living downtown.

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
