Gravity 1/6 Barrel Kegs Now Available
If you've got a kegerator, you can now get a 1/6 barrel keg - 5 gallons - of Gravity beer. Since we put in the bigger system, we can supply those much requested kegs. Of course it's limited to the beers we have available. Customers will need to supply their own tapping equipment. Any questions, give us a call at 870-448-2077, or ask about it the next time you're at Gravity.

Hop Drop Zenzine at Gravity
If you came into Gravity on Thursdays during this past spring and summer, you may have participated in Megan and Maegon's creative writing exercises. They corralled these into a hard-copy magazine called the Hop Drop Zenzine. Check it out with your next brew at Gravity.
Baxter County FUNdraiser!
The Baxter County library Foundation held its annual Pub Night Fundraiser on August 4th. It was sold out early, and was a lot of fun. Gravity was one of the many breweries in attendance. There was a silent auction and a live band; a really nice gathering. Our two volunteers, Sonny and Jeff, were great to pour with and the library staff was great too. Thanks to all the folks who stopped by our booth to say hello, and who had good things to say about Gravity beers. |

Our Florida fermenter is installed! We brought home a great souvenir from Florida - a 5 bbl fermenter. Bill and Nick worked on installing it last week, and this week Bill finished up the work, insulating lines and passivating the fermenter. At left Bill works on the glycol lines; at right Nick mugs for the camera while installing a controller for the fermenter. We brewed our first beer into it this week - ESB, as promised. |

We're up to EIGHT taps! We've been working hard on getting our taps through the wall and installing the tap backsplash, among other things. Bill installed four more of the taps last week (in addition to brewing) and added two more, so we now have eight of our beers on tap and thru the wall too! We have Kolsch from the Cold, Brahma Fear IPA, Brown-Eyed Girl, Red Ryeder Ale, Summertime Brew, Nightfall IBA, and Au NaturAle Amber. |
Bill installs taps and handles on the backsplash.

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!

Gravity is now on Untappd!
We've got a page on Untappd, the social beer site. You can go online and tell everyone about our beers...or anyone else's, for that matter. Look us up at untappd.com, and say something good about us!

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.
