Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our first sake tasting at Tengu last month! It was a lot of fun and it was great drinking and learning with all of you. If you didn't make it out, we're planning another one for April 2nd (not a joke) that focuses on sakes from other American breweries. The first featured brewery is Cedar River Brewing Company in Ballard, WA. We had the opportunity to visit the brewery a few years ago, and it is truly some fantastic sake. We can't wait to share it with you.

As for our sake, it is being ferociously worked on right now. We are hoping to have the Queen City of the Plains and El Colorado on the market by May.

We are also in the process of updating our website, so please pardon our mess while we clean it up.

Cut of Your Jib Sake Beer Grandma's House is kegging the beer this week and it should be on tap later on this month...and coming to a local pub, tavern, bar, etc. near you soon!

2014 Fermentation Festival by Marc Hughes

We had a great time at the first day of the Fermentation Festival today.

  1. We found a great new tequila - Casta Negra
  2. Found a great beer in a very excellent can - Crystal River Stout Ridge Amber
  3. Got to experience the excellent Baere Brewery Baere-Liner Wies with all its lovely syrups
  4. Melted our faces with some great fermented jalapeños from Vibrant Veggies
  5. Got hopped up on the intense flavor of hopped coffee from Corvus Coffee
  6. Helped save some tents from getting sucked up into the crazy storm
  7. and drowned ourselves in super fantastic Korean BBQ and kimchi from Dae Gee

We were also fortunate to teach a Sake 101 class. It was super fun and really challenging to squish a lot of tasting and homebrew knowledge into just 30 min.
