What's New etc.

I'm taking a brief pause to update everyone on what's going on in the brewery at evo these days- good to see Tommy and Mike keeping folks posted on all the recent events! I was lucky enough to make it to a few in the last couple weeks, and wanted to say thanks to the Laughing Pint in Baltimore and Homegrown in Newark DE (that's new-ark, apparently they take offense if you pronounce it like the town in Jersey. So sorry...). Those are two terrific local places that are about everything that is good in food and drink. If you live anywhere near them, definitely stop by.

So what is new?

• Primal Pale Ale, Exile ESB and Lucky 7 Porter are now available in 12 oz bottles- and we are trying like crazy to keep up with demand. Sales are off the charts. Thanks!
• We've ramped up production of Lot No.3 ipa in draft. At Baltimore beer week events this was consistently the first brand to run out. Hey, I like hops too- we'll just make more.
• Anonymous Strong Ale continues to pour at the brewery tap room, but not for much longer
• Jacques Au Lantern, our Belgian-inspired pumpkin ale, is now on at the taproom. 6.1% abv, unfiltered and a whirlwind of spicy flavors and aromatics. It would take me a while to describe this one, it's probably easier for all of us if you just stop by and try it.
• We're aging some Lucky 7 on some sticky, gooey, aromatic Madagascar vanilla beans that Wes sliced up and threw into a tank ("all willy-nilly" was the technique that was employed, I believe). A couple kegs will hit the tasting room, and a few more will head out to some upcoming local festivals at Fager's Island and SoBo's, along with some of the Jacques Au Lantern.
• We seem to be at production capacity, so purchases of equipment to expand capacity may be imminent. Imagine that.
• We're running wild in the What's Up Magazine poll for best Maryland/Delaware beer, landing in the finals- our Exile ESB vs. Clipper City's Marz-hon. Special thanks to Mike Valliant and the Rise Up/Easton evo army for beating the war drums!
  

The best news of all is that the beer we're brewing now is the best that we've brewed yet, and the best is still yet to come- promise. I think our beer's darn good but I'm not satisfied, and probably never will be, which is good news if you like our beer. So drink up, it's a beer, not a paperweight!

Cheers,
Geoff
