The Happy Maker

The time finally came to sample our first brew ever, the Nut Brown Ale. Most of the brew crew came over to on Saturday to partake of our creation and the general consensus was that it was awesome! Mick was less enthusiastic but agreed that it was a very decent beer. I may be a bit biased in my opinion but I think everything tastes better when you have a hand in making it!

My personal taste in beer goes towards the darker ales like Newcastle. Our Nut Brown is a classic brown ale without the (arguably) harsher taste of Newcastle. It was a smooth drinking ale that left me wanting more. Unfortunately for me, though, each investor was only allotted around 22 ounces each. So I will have to wait until we brew this recipe again.

Props go to all who helped brew the beer, Saori for the primary label design, and Bobby for refining the logo and printing all the labels. And thanks to everyone that showed up to help us enjoy this fine moment in our home-brewing history.

You might ask why am I always in the pictures? Because I'm writing the posts, dammit! If the other drinker-investors want to be in the pictures, they should write posts of their own. (hint hint)

  1. In case you were wondering about the title of this post, it comes from the trademark expressions printed on our Nut Brown Ale labels. There are two phrases, "Made by Friends for Friends" and "The Happy Maker".
