In this hotel, in addition to the brewing fermentations, we also venture into other fermentations. We haven’t produced penicillin from yeast yet, but with time we will. A lot of bread has already been made (without ever letting it spoil), garlic fermented in honey, sauerkraut, kimchi, onions and we even fermented the tomatoes (the cherryContinue reading “Fermented Peach Golden Sour”

Tastings and Trials #5
We’ve been late to his drinking game, but summertime kept us busy, not only drinking. So let’s catch up. It’s time to reap what we sowed. Another round of beers, this time mostly some light stuff (we saved a heavy one for the end) that we enjoyed drinking in this past warm weather. Brett IPAContinue reading “Tastings and Trials #5”
Coffee, Cocoa, Maple Syrup, Salted Caramel Gose
Time passes and passes quickly, the summer days are gone and almost back and we still haven’t written about it. Sorry about that, life happens. Well, remember that kitchen sink Black Gose? This beer is the opposite. Like that Beatles song that when played backwards left an enigmatic message. Turn me on, dead man. TheContinue reading “Coffee, Cocoa, Maple Syrup, Salted Caramel Gose”
Lichtenhainer with Grapes and Lime
Lichtenstein, Lichtenhainer and Lichtsteiner. For us these names all sound the same but only one remains in memory. Lichtenhainer, because it’s beer. This was an easy guess. We’ve started to think that beer geeks come up with “historical” styles just to validate stupid ideas that someone had. They should be considered “anecdotal” styles since whenContinue reading “Lichtenhainer with Grapes and Lime”
Cherry Kombucha Red Ale
In this Hotel, the cult around fermentation is stronger than us. Today, we inaugurate a new wing of our Hotel, dedicated to another fermented liquid that we like so much. Kombucha is basically a fermented tea. If in beer we ferment the sugars extracted from the malt, in Kombucha a tea of some variant ofContinue reading “Cherry Kombucha Red Ale”

Kveik Hazy Pastry Sour
Haze boyz, haze boyz, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do, when they come for you? The pastry trend rolled out in the beer world and not even sour beer is safe from this. And if you can’t beat them, join them. It’s a strange day today since we have mixed feelings regarding this concept, butContinue reading “Kveik Hazy Pastry Sour”
Tastings & Trials #1
Reading about beer is good, talking about beer ditto, writing about beer is not far from them either, but it is drinking that we like the most. Us and probably you. This doesn’t mean that we have to do it in absurd quantities, but we must submit our work to trial. And first we mustContinue reading “Tastings & Trials #1”
Tepache Sour Ale
One more trip. This trip began many years ago and it was the embrace of something, vaguely unknown, fermentation. What at first was just about beer, quickly took on other forms. Mead, Cider, Bread, Pickles, Tepache, Kombucha, and so on.Unlike beer, which has a lot of information produced and easily available, there wasn’t that muchContinue reading “Tepache Sour Ale”
Table Beer V1
Looking back, it seems that barbecues with friends were postponed until June. But, without cheating, here’s the original article: Its early March, days are getting warmer. It smells like the barbecue season is starting, where lunch and dinner get all mixed up. It’s time to clean the grill and fill the fermenters so everything isContinue reading “Table Beer V1”
