jonj Posted November 1, 2018 Report Posted November 1, 2018 On vacation in Napa Valley, California and went by David Arthur Vineyards to taste some current wines and catch up with the winemaker, Nile Zackerle. I've shared some of his home-brew before, but now found he has gone pro with his own line of craft beers, using local ingredients and re-discovering some styles of either lost in history or at least rarely brewed. I ended up shipping some home. Since there are some home brewers and beer aficionados here, I thought I'd share his web site for those interested. https://www.madfritz.com 2
tony b Posted November 1, 2018 Report Posted November 1, 2018 Love his beer names and label art! They look collectable!
jonj Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I thought you might enjoy this, Tony. The brewery is named for their two kids (Madeleine & Frederick, I think). Hence the Aesop's Fable names and small tales on the label. They also published a small book of Aesop's Fables which is in the taproom. Nile's wife, Whitney Fisher, is also a terrific winemaker (Fisher Vineyards). Super nice people. Edited November 1, 2018 by jonj typo
