So, how are you? Doing well we hope! We are doing AWESOME! Ok, maybe not awesome AWESOME but certainly pretty good AWESOME. Yesterday, our Brewers Permit with the TTB was marked Recommend Final Disposition and sent to a manager for final review - granted, were not done and dont have the permit in our hands, but I just used the word final twice in one sentence, so that is pretty good AWESOME! What does it mean? Well, with that precious and elusive permit in our hands we can finally start brewing and selling our beer direct to you, more importantly we get to sit down over a pint and get to know a little more about each other. Did I mention pretty good AWESOME? That would be a good way to describe the Ale House - all three of the glass roll up doors are installed making our tasting room really a unique, one of a kind place to enjoy a locally handcrafted brew or glass of wine. We are really pleased with the way the one time garage has transformed into what it is today, and when you get to see the progress pictures, we are certain you will agree. Allright, Deslogetown Brewery - almost CHECK, Ale House - CHECK, St. Francois Winery - CHECK, how about we introduce you to another one of our beers that you will get to try for your very own soon? Chat Pile Porter Certainly at the dark end of the spectrum as far as color, but dont let that fool you! The most common mistake made with Porter is that it is a Stout - they are both English Styles but our simple way of telling the difference is that our Porter is sweeter/less dry than a Stout. The Beverage Tasting Institute says Porters are, are red-brown to black in color, medium to medium-full bodied, and characterized by a flavor profile that can vary from very subtle dark malts to fully roasted, smoky flavors. Roasted malt should provide the flavoring character, rather than roasted barley as is used with stouts. Although Porter was the drink of the masses of the 1700s London, it is not a significant factor in the British market today, despite the production of a few outstanding English examples. In the US it is enjoying new found popularity among US craft brewers and many fine US examples are produced., Chat Pile Porter certainly delivers a toasty, coffee/toffee flavor with barely a hint of traditional English hops. Finally, while most of them have been removed for environmental reasons, the old lead belt was once dotted with mountains (piles) of crushed and ground up rock (chat) that was excavated as part of the lead mining process - our salute to the areas lead mining heritage - Chat Pile Porter!
