BREWERS' TRIPTYCH

"Brewing Schematic" (a haiku)
Water + malt + hops + yeast
Tun -> kettle -> tank -> keg -> pint glass
Free State beer flavor!

OK, so the Butte roundup contains only one brewery. But you know, only one of those exists in Butte, so http://cdn1.knowyourmeme.com/i/000/108/895/original/dealwithitneti.gif .

The Quarry
This place has been open for a few years, and seems to turn a pretty good business. Nice interior, live music ...

Montana Brewing Company
Sports bar atmosphere w/like food offerings (23rd Street-ish). They had Spire Mountain Dark and Dry Cider on tap, which was quite good. Way darker than I expected it to be, very apple-y and low acid with a little caramel flavor. Megan had an APA, which was not really as ...

Interstellar Galactic Brewery made a batch of cyser last weekend.

10 gallons of pasteurized Louisburg cider and one gallon of honey. Pitched onto an active mead yeast cake.

Went to Colorado Springs last weekend, and had dinner at a fairly new brewpub one night. Trinity Brewing Company. It's on Garden of the Gods road, up on the north side of town. Not my favorite section of Co Spgs, but fortunately everything about Trinity except the location is excellent.

I was this ...

Paid a visit to Hays last week and had a couple beers and appetizer-ish stuff at LB. The french fried green beans were very tasty, guacamole and chips were so-so.

Beerwise, it was a bit of a letdown. They were releasing a new beer that day, "Honey Brown". That was about the best of the lot, and it ...

Just like bottled New Belgium Fat Tire.

10 gallons of hard cider.

*cough*

Water and salts,
they go together
like schnitzel and alts.
Sunny California
is to faults
as water is to salts.

Salts and water,
closer to each than
mother and daughter.
Like those rascal Warthogs
and Kotter
are salts and water.

Whatever may be your wort's flavor profile,
