Fish Tale Organic India Pale Ale
Fish Tale Organic India Pale Ale is a medium-bodied beer with a rich golden color. The organic pale and crystal malts lay down a firm malt body. This provides the backbone for an assertive hop profile featuring organic Pacific Gem. The moment the Mighty Fish Brewers sampled this pungent and resinous New Zealand hop, they knew it would be perfect for their Organic I.P.A. The result: A Cascadian treasure.

The result: Truly delicious ale that salutes organic farmers and all the goodness they bring to our tables.

Fish Brewing Company
From its home in beautiful Olympia, Washington, Fish Brewing Company has been hand-crafting ales of Northwest proportions since 1993.

It wasn’t long before our brewery…

Augustiner-Bräu Wagner KG
Since 1328 on Augustiner beer had been brewed within the monastery of the Augustinian Brotherhood near the cathedral of Munich. After nearly 500 years of tradition, the secularization in 1803 and the following privatisation led to a privately owned company: Augustiner Bräu. In 1817 it moved to the Neuhauser Straße, the very same place where the renowned “Stammhaus” still stands today. In 1829 the Wagner family took over the company and eventually moved it to the “Kellerareal” at the Landsberger Straße in 1885. During the Second World War the brewery suffered heavy damage, but the whole complex was rebuilt soon after, regaining its old splendour and keeping it until today,…

Interview with a Homebrewer – Microbe Man
A hobby well chosen by our next featured homebrewer. With a background in microbiology and chemistry, this brewer should have no problems working the finicky nature of some of beers complex ingredients. Having brewed for quite some time also means he’s moved from “kit” to “keg” (not sure if he kegs or not, but I needed something fluid to write). Please welcome to the Comfy Computer Chair of Fame, Homebrew Dave Morton – @dmonbeer. Oh yeah, he hails from Altrincham, United Kingdom.
