The Balticus is a favourite of mine too.

It's funny, my girlfriend, who loves it as well, wants it to be smokier!

Maybe I'll brew up a smoke-bomb one of these days! Thanks Vgore

Had the Desecration last night - awesome brew.

[pet lion]

Dropped down last evening with a couple of friends for bluegrass, beers and a bite. The potato skins were very good. Desecration may be my favourite beer brewed there so far. Yum!

I believe those people going to pick the spruce tips are meeting up there for when the firkin is tapped, then heading out pickin'

I thought its too late to pick the prime spruce tips now, isn't it the first ones in early spring that are best to use???

Excellent! I did read that post, must have missed that part. See all you spruce tip pickers then!

[chalmers]

For those not on the NASH mailing list: tomorrow's firkin is the Brown dry-hopped with Cascade. Attempt #2.

And it looks like we'll be heading out at 1 or 1:30pm, so y'all should arrive around noon or noon-thirty, so I'm not waiting around for your slow asses!

That's true if you like to make your spruce beer with cat spruce

Red and black spruce bud later and grow slower

What he ^ said! And stuff.

[Jimmy]

Heading down in a few minutes, probably grab some grub before going spruce tip picking

I'm in Hali tomorrow. Can't decide whether to go to RB or H&T...for my pre-wine tasting beer

Unless I'm missing something there's no Nash beer at H&T right now due to the chiller breaking. Though RB doesn't have a patio...

[Jayme]

I think Nash has a cold water bath going at the H&T right now meaning there is one beer on tap. You may want to confirm that with him though - could have been a busy weekend there.

[ratchet]

I can tell you that when I was there on Friday there was no Nash beer on tap.

[chalmers]

Nor on Sunday. But I did see the big man there that night, and things were in the works.
Best way to confirm would be to call down there: 407-4278

[NASH]

There won't be any of my beer on tap there for at least a few more days

How's the mini chillers working out?

[NASH]

How's the mini chillers working out?

The mini-chiller works pretty good! Problem is there's only one. It doesn't work quite as well as the real deal but anyways.... I got the call yesterday that it kept throwing the breaker and now the beer was beginning to warm again I got that straightened out eventually.

Tonight I went down, cleaned a bright tank and transferred the IPA into it, it was at 43 F. I disconnected the chiller from the unitank and connected it to the bright tank for serving. After carbonating, smelling and tasting I decided it'll be good to go tomorrow. So yeah, on tap tomorrow

[brufrog]

I'm on my way for lunch with my bro-in-law! See you there, Greg?

[mr x]

He's there brewing now.

why are there 7 Rock Bottom breweries listed in the Halifax area? Search at weblocal.ca

I guess DME had big plans to supply all these? BTW they are still supplying kegs of wort to the Pilot House in C-Town.

I don't know but I assume they have nothing to do with Rockbottom Brewpub

Btw, Gahan makes the wort for Pilot House.

They all say Rock Bottom Brewery. Weird. I think you are going to have to start brewing 14 X a week, Greg!

As for Pilot House, really? The owner of DME told me last week that they do. He wouldn't lie. Hmm...maybe they do it under license at the PEI brewing company's bigger brewery? So it is "officially" coming from them but actually brewed at PEIBC? I know DME has a small "pilot" brewery onsite.
