Brewing a Toasted Marshmallow Milk Stout

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Here's a gift for the brewers from Clawhammer Supply:

It's the perfect time of year for brewing a sweet and chocolatey nitro "milk stout." Well, any time of year is perfect for that. Anyway, it's like hot cocoa... but beer. Or smores... but BEER. In all seriousness, this turned out to be a deliciously creamy stout with subtle hints of roasted marshmallow. Kyle walks through an incredibly precise and heavily planned solo brew day while Emmet drinks beer. This is definitely one we recommend. Try it out and enjoy!

Little Rock, AR • Dec. 15th, 2020 — Lost Forty Brewing, Arkansas largest award-winning maker of craft beer, is expanding efforts to make Downtown Little Rock, Arkansas a destination for great beer, great food, and great entertainment with the addition of a new restaurant and specialty brewing facility located at 822 E. 6th St., Little Rock, 72202.

An exciting new menu, created for this location by Executive Chef Scott McGehee and his culinary team, will feature a vibrant range of dishes great for lounging at the bar, pairing with flights on the patio, or for snacking on while enjoying entertainment in the yard.

“Lost Forty’s expansion downtown is just what we need right now. Their commitment to excellence and exemplary corporate contributions have brought them national recognition and reflects well on Little Rock as well. As one of the most popular anchors in the East Village, this additional investment demonstrates their strong confidence in the future.” - Rett Tucker | Downtown Little Rock Partnership, Principal & Co-Chairman, Newmark MTP

“Little Rock’s local dining and craft brewing scenes have gone through a major renaissance over the past ten years, and the team at Yellow Rocket Concepts has been a major factor in that growth. Now with their seventh concept in Little Rock, they’re showing an even stronger commitment to the city. I look forward not only to visiting myself, but for locals and visitors alike to experience what’s sure to be a new landmark destination in the East Village.” - Gretchen Hall | President / CEO, Little Rock Visitors and Convention Bureau

Re-Gen-Ale: the first traceably sourced beer to address climate change using Indigo Carbon

Dogfish Head: "We've joined forces with Indigo Agriculture to brew Re-Gen-Ale, the first traceably sourced beer to address climate change through agriculture using Indigo Carbon, a program that provides growers with a financial incentive to store carbon in their soils! Releasing on Saturday, September 19, from our Off-Centered EmPOURium in downtown Rehoboth Beach, Re-Gen-Ale offers drinkers the opportunity to give back to the planet with every pint or can consumed, making it the perfect jumpstart to this year’s Climate Week (Sept. 21-27) festivities! 

This unique partnership with Indigo, a company dedicated to harnessing nature to help farmers sustainably feed the planet, began back in January, when the first test batches of Re-Gen-Ale were brewed. Through Indigo’s Grain Marketplace, a platform used to connect growers and buyers of crops, we were able to secure the traceably sourced ingredients to produce Re-Gen-Ale, including sustainable wheat grown with regenerative farming. We also committed to purchasing more than the amount of carbon credits needed to offset the production of Re-Gen-Ale."

Stone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager with Kris Ketcham

A new potential summer favorite via the mighty Stone Brewing: "In 1996, Stone Brewing was founded in San Diego County, just minutes from the border. Since then, influence from our southern neighbors has enriched and inspired us on our undying mission to brew bold, flavorful beers. One such inspiration is Stone Xocoveza, our imperial stout originally released in 2014 to bring the rich, complex flavors of Mexican hot chocolate to beer. It’s with mucho gusto that we now follow with our take on a classic lager that is similarly inspired (and tasty) - Stone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager.

 Brewer Ben Sheehan created this beer while working down at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station. Stone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager’s inspiration comes from Southern California, which is vibrantly influenced by our neighbors to the South. California's spoiling, warm weather encourages outdoor activity year round - and now the rest of the nation can join in. From surfing our coasts, to snowboarding and biking in the mountains, off-roading through deserted lands, or boating and fishing in our lakes, Stone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager is an excellent companion. It’s a thrillingly crisp, clean, refreshing Mexican-style lager that quenches thirsts, while gratifying taste buds via lime and sea salt."

Hazy Ripple TV with Sam Calagione & David Lemieux

From Dogfish Head Brewery: "After an epic visit from Grateful Dead archivist and legacy manager David Lemieux in February 2019, we knew we'd have to do it all again. Almost exactly one year later, David joined us back in coastal Delaware this past February for another weekend of fun - complete with a tour, meet & greet, dinner and a show. In the midst of a busy weekend, we managed to find time for Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione to sit down with David and catch up on all things Dogfish Head, Grateful Dead and American Beauty. Watch as they reminisce on how this beautiful collaboration got its start, reflect on this year's release and dream of what's to come!

The HIDDEN History of Lager Beer

More fun stuff from the folks at Beer By The Numbers and maybe you might even just learn something?!?!

"Hey this is Ryan with Beer by the Numbers; beer nerds and historians alike all love to study how lagers, the world’s most popular beers, emerged in Northern Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. These beers are clear in appearance and deliver a crisp effervescence that makes the incredibly refreshing and popular. Such characteristics lend themselves well to the cool mountain climates of Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, but recent evidence suggests that another area of the world, thousands of miles away, may have played a key role in the emergence of this major beer family."

All Together IPA Recipe

A Clawhammer Supply #Stayhome and Brew Special!

"Bored during quarantine? Already watched Tiger King twice? Tired of the news? Now you can sit back and watch Kyle as he tackles a totally normal brew day on his own. Well, he does have a few friends who help him along the way, but you'll have to see that for yourself.

We're brewing the All Together IPA (https://alltogether.beer/), which is a refreshing and delicious golden, hoppy beer - but it's the cause behind the beer that makes this one special. This project is a worldwide, open-ended beer collaboration created to raise support for the industry we love. All YouTube revenue made from this video will be donated somewhere and we'll use the comments to guide us. That's right, we're asking YOU, our viewers, to choose what that means. So let us know in the comments where you think the money should go. We hope you enjoy the video, and yes, we are also worried about Kyle.

Toppling Goliath - Intergalactic Warrior

Toppling Goliath: "Now more than ever, women help to drive the Craft Beer industry. Ownership, Accounting, Marketing, Merchandising, Lab Technicians, Packaging, Logistics, Taproom, HR and our Kitchen staff - every facet of our brewery has strong, fun, intelligent and talented women that make Toppling Goliath's world go round. Intergalactic Warrior is our IPA that recognizes these bold and brilliant women. This one's for them. Cheers!

 Intergalactic Warrior is a 6.2% India Pale Ale with 60 IBUs. Galaxy and Warrior hops join forces to create a beer with a bitter punch. Big body, bold flavor, with a boost of citrus rind and just a kick of spiciness in the finish, Intergalactic Warrior is an India Pale Ale worth fighting for."

Food, Music and Beer with Troy Johnson and Hilary Doneux

Ballast Point Brewing Company: "Jeff Lozano and Colby Chandler (virtually) sit down with 91X Music Director, Hilary Chambers, and writer/food critic/television personality, Troy Johnson. Hilary reflects on her 20+ year career in music and radio, and her recent behind-the-scenes BP tour with Colby.

Troy discusses his journey from music journalist to Food Network personality on Guy’s Grocery Games. The group discusses pairing beer with music and food, and how Troy’s poetry minor shaped how he approaches his day job.

Later, Ballast Point Miramar Sous Chef, Chuy Hernandez returns to the show with his rendition of Troy’s guilty pleasure: Jack in the Box double cheese burger, which he aptly named the “Morgan Freeman” of double cheeseburgers. Recommended pairing: Manta Ray Double IPA."

Gerald and Anthony talk us through their epic would-have-been plan to celebrate Latchkey’s second anniversary this month… We heard Kanye was going to be there… Grab a to-go crowler and celebrate virtually with a few “yeah dogs” of your own."

Norwegian Pale Ale Homebrew Recipe

Clawhammer Supply:

"Stay at home and join us for a brew day where we make a pale ale with wild yeast that came from a wooden barrel in Norway. This yeast was sent to us by a fan of our channel and we had no idea how it would turn out, but experimenting with wild yeast is always fun because it’s not something you can buy at the store. Even without this weird yeast, this video gives you a great and easy to follow pale ale homebrew recipe that you can use with a regular store-bought yeast like California Ale Yeast from White Labs. A pale ale is a perfect middle ground between a hoppy IPA and a light lager, so they’re perfect for just about anyone to enjoy.

 This is an unintentionally hazy pale ale with a simple grain bill and just enough hops for a medium bitterness. We used Palisade hops from Yakima Chief Hops in this beer which have an apricot and floral aroma to them. This is a great recipe for beginner homebrewers and for people with more experience. If you haven’t already, try harvesting some wild yeast. It’s super fun and you never know what you’ll get. Check out the resources below for a full recipe, brewing equipment, links to our previous wild yeast experiments, and more!"

Later, the guys are joined by Ballast Point Sous Chef, Chuy Hernandez, with another amazing recipe to try at home. Can you say Victory at Sea Braised New York steak…?

Quick Sip Clip: Vibrant P'Ocean

Another new beer from one of my favorite breweries... Dogfish Head!

Read on: https://www.dogfish.com/brewery/beer/vibrant-pocean

It was at an annual meeting of the world’s leading brewers (the Craft Brewers Conference in 2018) that our relationship with Rodenbach began, blossoming over a few good sour beers.

Inspired by the ocean that connects us, Vibrant P’Ocean is a complex, ruby-colored ale with tart, dry flavors of jammy berries and floral lemon. To create this trans-oceanic potion, we carefully combined two unique base beers – one developed by Rodenbach and the other by our brewers here in Milton.

Rodenbach’s portion – a two-year, foeder-aged sour from its legendary, standing oak casks – was brewed in Belgium before making its 3,400-mile (or 1,000-nautical league) voyage to Delaware.

From there, it was blended with our portion – a kettle sour brewed with pilsner malt, malted wheat, elderberry, elderflower, sliced lemons and Belgian fleur-de-sel.

“We are absolutely honored to be the first to collaborate and create a beer in partnership with Rodenbach, the world’s most well-respected maker of sour beers,” says Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione. “I’m proud to say that our teams contributed equally on every creative facet of this beer – from the brainstorm to the brew to calibrating the vibrant, red hue of the beer though specific grain and fruit blends. We really took our time and focused on creating a mouth-puckeringly magical drinking experience.”
