Welcome to my brew log blog. Here's a few of my brews and the labels I made for them. Sorry you cant tip a cold one here on the web, but I hope you enjoy the artwork.
Cheers, Jim
Rye de Gard: In the style of a higher alcohol farmhouse biere de gard
with a heaping helping of malted rye added for some spanky spice
Very malty and low hop rate to focus on the malts.

She's perfect for chillin back in the hay with after a hard day on the farm.
Bourbon Barrel Breakfast Stout: Generous additions of
dark roasted and sweet flavor malts, fresh espresso, lightly hopped and aged
in a freshly emptied white oak bourbon barrel.
Breakfast of Champions
Honey Chamomile Wheat: Hefeweizen style with chamomile and wildflower honey added for a floral sweetness and cascade hops for a citrus touch. A springtime kiss. |
Aussie Blond IPA: Dry hopped with Australian Topaz hops for a fruity sweet pear fruit/ lychee fruit aroma and flavor. Malty balance from German and US malts. Highly hopped with English, German and Australian floral/fruity style hops (for citrusy hop style IPA see Amarillo Angel below) A blond bombshell! |
Munich Honey Pale Ale: One of my favorites. Malts from all
corners,
Germany, England, Canada and the US create an incredibly complex maltiness that's balanced by 4 additions of hops for a rounded citrusy floral hop bang. You'll beg for more ;-) |
One Wish: An Irish Stout with a double kick! Higher alcohol and
high hop rate. I suppose that makes it an American stout but I like the Shamrock pic ;-) Lots of chocolate and black malts for an espresso like maltiness and dry hopped for a hoppy happy ending. Spankingingly good. |
Belgian Dubbel: Caramel sweet maltyness with a spicey twang from
the Belgian yeast strain. Not quite a Lambic, and not quite a Pale Ale. It's like trying them both together. Ever had a dubbel?
|
Amarillo Angel IPA: Straight up American style IPA. Lots of
Amarillo Hops for an orangey citrusy hop kick and enough assorted malts to compliment the hop assault. An angel of a brew with a wicked side. |
Catch Her in the Rye: A medium hop Rye IPA brings forward the
deep malt flavors and spiciness from the rye. Multiple additions of 4 hop varieties add balance. Full of earthy complex flavors to wrap your tongue around. |
She's not Hefe, She's my Weizen: Hopped up Bavarian style Hefeweizen Weissbier (wheat beer). Banana/clove flavors brought out by the Bavarian yeast and a citrusy aroma from Cascade and Amarillo hops. Think Paulaner or Hacker-Pschorr with a orangy kick from the hops. Afternoon delight on a hot summer day. |
Pistol Packin Pilsner: Crisp German/Bohemian hybrid Pilsner. Lots of flavor malts and German and Czech hops for a florally hopped up 5.5% Pils. Bang! |
Hard Cider: 3 lbs of apples in every 22 oz bottle, and not a spec
of anything else. 8 varieties of sweet and tart apples. Crisp and lip smacking. |
