Carboys on Parade

We've been brewing weekly over the last month and the beer is beginning to pile up.

We have 30 gallons in the carboys right now-- two batches of our signature Throat of Fire Pale Ale and one batch of Atahaulpa's Golden Ale. We also have one batch in bottles that we're currently serving-- Eruption Porter.

Jim will be buying a simple keg system in the next week, which will cut our production time in half by eliminating the onerous bottling process. The kegs will hopefully help solve an over-foaming problem that we've had with the Eruption Porter. We've also re-doubled our sanitation efforts in the brewery and are using new yeast to counter any contaminants that could be causing the geysers.

As our Banos departure date at the end of May quickly approaches, Jim and Gloria (a manager at the Posada) are gradually taking over the reins at the brewery.

Most importantly, it looks like we'll have plenty of beer on tap for our Banos farewell party!
