Hi Dan and Lani! I wanted to report back on the Celeia hops I got from you guys. They made a GREAT pilsener! I brewed it up as soon as I got back from the holidays and it was ready for the Super Bowl. We threw a big party (~40 people) and the keg was drained (along with another keg of German pils)! Both were good, but I think a slight majority of people preferred the Celeia pilsener better (I know I did). I'll include the recipe below for any other homebrewer that wants to get ahold of these hops. The character was like Saaz. Spicy, yet smooth, and a little herbal. The bittering was very clean and pleasant. The amount of hops I used in the recipe really contributed to the herbal character! It was a whole lot o' hops! Hope all goes well! Cheers, Sean Recipe: Pilsener Slovenia OG: 1.045, FG: 1.011 IBU: 38 (using Tinseth) 100% German Pilsner Malt Hops: 2.00 oz (22 IBU) Slovenian Celeia, 90 mins. 1.00 oz (9 IBU) Slovenian Celeia, 45 mins. 1.00 oz (5 IBU) Slovenian Celeia, 15 mins. 1.00 oz (2 IBU) Slovenian Celeia, 5 mins.

We had our annual soup party in January and the surprise beverage was Great Crescent Beer. The Blonde Ale was a favorite along with the Cherry Ale and Coconut Porter. It's hard to find anything we don't like at GCB. Keep up the good work and thank you!

How about a 2xl hoodie, I would sure buy one! Can't wait for the restraunt! Love your beer!

Hello Dan. I'm a homebrewer from Mason, OH. Since starting to brew I've been trying many different styles and flavors. A coworker of mine (the daughter of the folks starting Chuck's Firehouse Inn) picked me up a half gallon of the coconut porter. I have to tell you that so far out of all the porters I've tried (maybe 5-6 in all), yours was my favorite. A great coconut smell, but not an overwhelming coconut taste. I was actually concerned it would taste too strong, but it wasn't. It had a really smooth texture and I liked the "lightness" of it compared to some "thicker" porters I've tried (at least that's my take on it). I'll have to make it out to Aurora to try something else sometime. Nice job on the coconut porter. Keep putting out quality beer like that. Happy Brewing!

I am a deployed USAF member serving in Iraq. I am originally from Indiana and have raved about your beer to those serving with me that have never tasted your product. To proudly display your beer, I was wondering if you had any merchandise youâ??d be willing to send such as a t-shirt or koozies. I wear a size large t-shirt. We are unfortunately not able to partake in alcohol here so I am looking forward to enjoying a cold brew when I return. Thanks in advance for supporting the troops.
