What's On Tap:  CJ from the GSBA, Renee from Brew NH and Cathi from BadLAB!                                 Brew NH: Website | Facebook |Twitter GSBA: Website | Facebook | BadLAB: Website | Facebook | Twitter Bert's Better Beers' Draft Pick(s) of the Week: COOLSHIP Our Coolship beers are crafted using a traditional Belgian method of spontaneous fermentation. Hot, unfermented wort is cooled overnight using outside air temperature in a traditional, large shallow pan known as a “coolship.” During the cooling process, naturally occurring microflora from the air inoculates the beer, and in the morning, it is transferred into French oak wine barrels where the entire fermentation and aging (over 1-3 years) takes place.   New England's Tap House Grill's Ale Communications: http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2017/01/science-says-society-exists-because-beer http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/why-a-georgia-gas-station-stopped-selling-sam-adams-beer-before-super-bowl-51/ http://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/201

Over four pounds of hops per BBL of New Zealand hops (Kiwi Hops) were used in progressively larger hop additions throughout the brewing process. Four kettle hop additions, whole leaf hops in the hop back, and multiple dry hop additions infuse an intense floral and citrusy aroma. No kiwifruit or kiwi birds were used in the production of this beer.

What's On Tap: Greg and Mark from Martha's Exchange join us at The Flight Center as we were getting ready to open!          Martha's Exchange: Website | Facebook | Twitter   Bert's Better Beers' Draft Pick(s) of the Week: VOLSTEAD ’33′ Our lightest offering. This German inspired golden ale is crisp, clean, and easy drinking. 4.7% 60 Minute IPA is continuously hopped -- more than 60 hop additions over a 60-minute boil. (Getting a vibe of where the name came from?) 60 Minute is brewed with a slew of great Northwest hops. A powerful but balanced East Coast IPA with a lot of citrusy hop character, it's the session beer for hardcore enthusiasts! Every Beer Has A Story... In our Quick Sip Clip video below, Sam Calagione talks about the 60 Minute IPA. For some perspective, he compares this beer to its predecessor, 90 Minute IPA, and its big brother, 120 Minute IPA. Sam stepped out of the brewery for the taping of this Quick Sip Clip and comes to us from the place where it all started: Dogfish Head, Maine.   New En

We make our version of this classic export ale unique by adding a special decoction cycle to our brew thus increasing the malty backbone to this once a year specialty. A generous amount of bittering hops balances well with the high roast, chocolate and black malt flavor. Viscosity is high and flavors improve as the ale warms in temperature.

Just like the mantra itself, BtS is an intimidating proposition up front...yet found to be addictively fulfilling after the first taste.

At the time, this was a radical idea, as one's bloodline was thought to be the key factor in determining defining one's life (ie: Divine Right of Kings). He coined

Walked across my head, I stood beneath the light. This double IPA is dry pale, and let's the hops do most of the work. Big mandarin orange, pineapple, and dankishness dominate this brew.

A German brown ale brewed in the "alt" or "old" traditional style yielding a clean, crisp, and malty brew. This is traditional style of altbeir from Düsseldorf, Germany. Alt literally means old in German. Staying as true to the recipe as possible, the Headwall Alt is brewed using German malts, plus German and American hops. Like the Pale Ale, the Headwall Alt is cold conditioned, dry-hopped and krausened in the bottle or keg. Similar to the Pale Ale, the process takes about 30 days. The Headwall Alt was rated in the Top 6 brews in New England in the Boston Globe Magazine in 2009. It also made Beer Advocate's list of top altbiers. Headwall Alt
