Smoked Weizen…..ahhh Bamberg
It was a long time ago that I sat in the biergarten of the Aecht Schlenkerla Brewery in Bamburg, but I still remember it. They had two beers on tap, their classic Rauchbier and a Smoked Weizen. Of course I went for the Rauchbier first, its what the brewery was known for and I wasn’t [...]
Desitka version 3….revisted
The third revision of my 10 Degree pale Lager. I brewed this recipe once before, but while moving houses I left it to do a diacetyl rest in the wrong place and….ruined the beer. So once again I am diving into Czech Pale Lagers. After tasting some fantastic lagers during my trip in CZ such [...]
Robust Porter…..A Beautiful Day
Awhile back I made a Brown Porter, delicious beer. In the middle of moving, I assumed that I drank the keg and that was that. While brewing this Robust Porter I started reconditioning some of my kegs and low and behold I find a keg half full of beer which has been sitting beside a [...]
Green Flash West Coast IPA…..inspired
This beer isn’t a clone, because I did not have any simcoe hops. If I had the simcoe hops I could have called this post Green Flash West Coast IPA….Cloned. Anyways after listening to the Can you Brew it episode where they clone this beer I thought I should give it a go. I have [...]

Southern Bohemia……Stary Casy
I really enjoy the big cities in central Europe, there is such a sense of history and culture that runs through them. I often find myself in Canada thinking about Europe and wishing I could be travelling there. When I am in this mindset I am seldom, however, thinking about the grand cities and the [...]

Dresden….Mulled Wine and Bratwurst
I haven’t been to Dresden in years. Dresden was the closest place from Prague where you could travel to get your work visa renewed (because you needed to be out of the country). So I had to visit amoung the first year or so I lived in Prague. When I was there the city was [...]
First days in Prague….Zly Casy
It’s been a long time since I have been in Prague. A very long time, a year and a half but more like three years when you get down to it. It doesn’t sound like all that much but it is. Most of the places I used to haunt have changed or disappeared which isn’t [...]
