tony b Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 My home brewers' club - the Cedar Rapids Beer Nuts, puts on a home brew festival each year with other clubs in the state. We got a nice video piece on the local news this year. http://www.kcrg.com/content/news/Iowa-beers-on-display-at-Homebrew-Festival-as-craft-gains-popularity-441097363.html One of the beers I brewed for it was "Purple Crack Wheat" - a blackberry wheat beer with Taz pepperberries. Was pretty popular. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 That was a fun watch, Tony. I was looking for you with your Purple Crack but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooBeeQ Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Great spot ! Now you just need to haul a KK out there and cook up some goodies to go with the brew. Beer Nuts, thats great lol. Any of you enter your beers for judging or do the Homebrewcon ? I'm still an AHA member but its been a while since I had time to brew.

I hid well - LOL! But, the Purple Crack was popular. Over 1/2 the keg was consumed in a matter of a couple of hours. 16 hours ago, ZooBeeQ said: Great spot !

I'm still an AHA member but its been a while since I had time to brew. One of our Club members has a sausage making business and he catered our event. He does a great job, so no competition from me! Yeah, some of our Club members entered the AHA competition - not me. One fellow made it to the finals with his mead. Club went to HomebrewCon in Minneapolis this year and poured on Club night and did a session in the Hospitality area, too. We poured a few years ago in Grand Rapids as well. We're actively talking about making the trek out to Portland for next year's HomebrewCon. I go just about every year, with or without the rest of the Club. It's such a great time and I've made a lot of friends over the years that I only get to see at HomebrewCon. And, let's not forget all the crazy good beers there!
