After a long and serious talk, Mike and I both realized that our health is suffering: our cholesterol is too high. Since we both want to be around not only to open a brewery, but also to see our grandkids working at said brewery, some changes were necessary. According to the American Cancer Society a cup of otameal a day not only fights cancer but lowers cholesterol. That being said, in choosing a beer this week, we settled upon Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout for our health benefit and yours. Sam Smith’s Oatmeal Stout has always been well received by the craft beer community and ... Read Full Story

Brew Day #5 was held this past weekend, and hosted by our friend KC Hophead .  Not only was he a gracious host, he helped out first time brewers get their feet wet.  Including me. There was a primary theme of British beers, but there was also a secondary theme of hazing the newbies.  "What, you didn't bring the Re-Oxygen-ator?"   It's cool, a right of passage kind of thing. As I was reminded many times throughout the day, sanitation is key. I started out scrubbing a kettle Hophead let me borrow. Next step was to get some water boiling, and as you can ... Read Full Story

I used Cluster hops for my first cream ale a long time ago but didn’t write up a profile for them. I am glad I didn’t at the time since Cluster hops are a variety rich in history…American history. I needed to take time to research and get the facts straight. They appear to be a hybrid of the North American wild hop and European varieties brought over by the English and the Dutch in the 1600s. Specifically, the Massachusetts Company brought hops to grow in America in 1629 and 17 years later, they were cultivating hops commercially. During this time, Cluster hops became ... Read Full Story

Overwinter Protection for Nugget Hops Overwinter Magnum Hop Plants In cold climates it is important to overwinter hop plants / protect them from sub-zero temperatures. Hops do fairly well on their own but can be killed off if the ground is unprotected and hard freezes the ground. Snow will insulate the ground but occasionally the snow will be blown clear or animals may dig the snow away from the underground hop crowns (started as hop rhizomes). Protect Cascade Hop Crowns No sense taking any chances of losing your hop plants to the weather. All it takes is a layer of mulch – I used ... Read Full Story

Arcadia Brewing Company, featuring the Jaw Jacker Pumpkin Spice Ale Last month I attended the Inaugural Harvest Beer Festival, also referred to as “Detroit Beer Week,” at Eastern Market in Detroit.

Dear Reader, usually the deal here on Aard is that I tell you what to think and you reply, zombielike, "Yes... Master... Kill... Kill...". But today, let's turn the tables. I'm going to ask a question about a simple scientific-culinary matter that has baffled me for decades. And I hope someone out there knows enough about yeast to enlighten me.When starved of oxygen, yeast turns sugar into alcohol. When germinated, barley grains, by means of...

"As a homebrewer who also happens to be obsessed with coffee, I found that too many of the coffee or espresso flavored stout recipes I found seemed to consider coffee more of an afterthought than an important factor in the success of the beverage. I have always found it odd that brewers would take so much time to pick out just the right hops, yeast and perfect water chemistry, only to say something so general as, "Add a pound of cracked coffee...

When it comes to beer, and especially craft beer, there is one style that very nearly polarizes the people who drink it. Some will go on and on about the flavors and nuances, while others will simply spit it out and say "no thank you." That style is the good old American India Pale Ale.
