While the Sour Cherry Sweet Cider was well received, we wanted to try something a little different with this batch. We used the same apple juice and dark brown sugar for this batch, but we fermented instead with Omega Tropical IPA yeast, which is said to finish a little tart/dry. We also have a bunch of hops sitting in the freezer so we decided to dry hop this with Mosaic, hence the name. And as a final audible, we swapped one of the three apple juice concentrate cans with a can of orange juice concentrate. The end result? A juicy, hoppy, sweet cider!

Our yearly beer (beerly?) homage to the Baltimore Ravens. For the 2023 season we intended to do a simple hibiscus raspberry wheat ale, but we decided at the last minute to kettle sour. After souring, we added hibiscus and butterfly pea flower powder toward the end of the boil. At the tail end of fermentation we then added a bunch of frozen raspberries. What we ended up with is a perfectly tart, pleasantly raspberry aroma and flavored beer!

Oh jeez, another S'mores stout!? Well, not by name at least. Campfire Dessert Stout is an imperial stout, fermented hot with Voss Kveik yeast. The addition of lactose during the boil adds some residual sweetness. At packaging, we used some nice S'mores flavoring in the keg. The end result is a warming, sweet beer with a delicious, chocolate and graham cracker flavor.

After seeing a few rice beer videos on YouTube, and in particular forbidden rice beers, we had to give it a shot. Considering this batch came with a lot of firsts - Dark lager? Actual rice? Pressure fermenting? CHECK! CHECK! CHECK! - we could not be more happy with the final product. The body is light and relatively dry as one would expect with a light beer. The flavor is light as well, but with a slight hint of roastiness, giving it a tiny bit of flavor that those who actually want to taste their light beer will appreciate. I think we nailed it!
