Lawrence Brewers Guild

The weathers looking f'n awesome for tomorrow.

For a great beer bar check out the Draught House. It's a must visit for me every time I go through Austin. They have a few brews of their own but for the most part have a great selection of hard to find beers on tap. They are just off the UT campus downtown and have a strong local crowd that make fo...

There have been a number of rumors already. Grinders brewing.....or maybe a schlafly kc location.

The comments on that article are quite a trip.

http://www.lostabbey.com/saints.php I don't know if anyone is into these beers, but if you are the clubs just opened up dec 1. saints limited to 200 members and sinners to 350. The catch is they don't ship to KS, luckily I live in MO. If anyone is interested let me know and you can use my address. C...

I'm heading over to look at them right now. I'm not sure if they have much whiskey left. But I'm thinking they would make a great little funk factory. Yeah their full size barrels and I assume they are in good shape. I'll let you know once I see them.

I think it's been in the making for a while. It was nothing to do with the beer. They just couldn't get enough business to keep up and money is getting tight.

Does anyone have a use for some whiskey barrels. They are Bulleit whiskey and have been used once. They are free and I have access to 5-6 barrels. All I ask is for some beer from them in exchange for transporting them to Lawrence.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news. But there will no longer be a strong ale fest in parkville. Powerplant shut their doors for good yesterday. They didn't give any notice at all. The drinking options here in parkville are looking pretty slim.

I just got news that I got the brewing position at Boulevard that I interviewed for. I should be back to Kansas by mid February.

Cheers, Dustin

yeah for yeastie bombs!!!

The good news is that baker's yeast is Saccharomyces cerevisiae. So it is in the same family as most brewer's yeast. Unfortunately, what I did find is that the strains that are cultured for baking are chosen for their ability to produce more CO2 with only a little alcohol being produced. This will h...

From what I have learned the main factor is producing a mash environment that favors alpha or beta-amylase to convert starch molecules to fermentable sugars. If the mash favors beta-amylase you will end up with a more fermentable wort. Whereas a mash that favors alpha-amylase will yield more extract...

4 medals within 25 miles of Lawrence. Must be some killer brewing mojo in the area. I think that speaks highly of the brew geeks in the area that support these brewers.

Here's to beer!!

Don't want to make you slobber any more. But we're just now bottling a new Wild Dog beer. A german dopplebock. I'm sure Kansas won't get any of this either. The sales team won't tell me why you guys get shafted when you are so close. Oh well. I'll drink a couple for all of you. Oops maybe I've alrea...
