Hello again

I really should keep this blog updated more and more, but we've been busy here at Pennichuck. We've been brewing and packaging like, and actually this weekend we are brewing again (I am here on Saturday, James will be here on Sunday), Halligan this time. Halligan is our IPA, it is brewed with 15% Rye Malt (basically similar to Barley Malt but using Rye instead of Barley) and hopped with Amarillo hops. We find that this gives a crisp taste, but not too bitter, and very easily drinkable.

But what has been going on here at the brewery lately. Well we finished packaging out the Barley Wine (Pompier), then proceeded to package out the BackDraft Chocolate Porter (now available, ask for it at a store near you!) In between all of that we brewed a batch the beer we contract brew for Rapscallion, the Honey Ale. So needless to say we have been busy.

As for what is on deck, next week we package out the Pozharnik Russian Imperial Stout into both kegs, and bottles, filter the Fireman's Pail, transfer the second batch of Pompier to barrels, and just for good measure we'll brew St. Florian's over the weekend. So if we do not update the blog as regularly as we should, please forgive us.

In other news, James is on his way to becoming an EMT, all he has left is the exams, so wish him luck!
