Humble Beginnings Porter on tap this week
We've gone back to our Humble Beginnings! This was the first beer we brewed just before we opened for business. It was more grain than our little system could handle, and it made for a really long brew day. But now that we're brewing on our bigger system, we went back to the original and modified it for the bigger set-up. we also added oak for another layer of flavor to the brew. This porter will be on tap this week, so come in and try an old new favorite brew.

Hop Drop Series
The Hop Drop brews are a planned series of single-hopped beers. Each beer is an IPA, brewed with less caramel in the west coast style. We use only a single hop or proprietary hop blend in all the hop additions. This really allows you to experience all the bittering, flavor, and aromatic qualities of that particular hop. When you visit the tasting room, try the beer and give us your feedback! The most popular ones will be repeated.
So far we've tried Zythos, then Falconers Flight, both hop blends. Next came Ahtanum, then 5256, an experimental hop. Then we used 7 C's blend, Calypso, Sorachi Ace, Bravo, Mosaic, Simcoe, El Dorado, Summit, Citra, and experimental 07270. Our next one is brewed with Denali hops, which are described as having pineapple, pine and citrus aromas and a high oil content. When we smelled it we got a strong spicy note and a definite bitterness.

Brewing on the Bigger System
February 14 was the day we initiated the first brew on Gravity's bigger brew setup! In honor of the day, we brewed Hoppy Together India Red Ale. In the left photo Bill and Danielle mash in; in the right photo Danielle adds hops to the brew. We also put the Hoppy Together into the 2 barrel fermenter. We've brewed several batches on the new system and still have a few things to iron out, but we love it! Now that we can make bigger batches, your favorites have been staying on tap longer. Our brews may not change every week, since we have more beer...a lovely thing to have! |

Gravity is on Facebook
At long last, we have a Facebook page...to all those folks that asked for it. Of course, we kept it simple - look us up at http://www.facebook.com/gravitybrewworks.
Mostly Organic Amber is now Au NaturAle AmberTM
Our Mostly Organic Amber was called that because one of its malts was not organic. We've gotten some organic malt so our Amber is now called Au NaturAle Amber. It's still smooth, still an excellent amber, and all organic. Look for this one on tap this week!

Guest Beers
We decided early on to get a few "guest beers" - brews that we don't make ourselves and that many people may not have tried. We had been offering these every week (pretty much); like most things at Gravity, the offerings changed. We've tried beers from Green Flash, Moylan's, and Left Coast, all from California; Prairie, from Oklahoma; Carson Brewing, from Indiana; Horny Goat from Wisconsin; Mother's from Missouri; Moody Brews, Stone's Throw Brewing, and Lost Forty. Now that we have more of our own beers on tap, we still plan on having guest beers, but in addition to our beers, not in place of them.
