Home Brew: Brewing a Belgian dubbel

Posted on 25 August 2008 by Chris

3 Oregon Beers From: Ninkasi, Roots, and Siletz

Ninkasi (Eugene, Oregon)- Believer Double Red Ale
Coming into this beer I was not sure if I would dig it because I thought the Tricerahops Double IPA was a bit over the top and not well balanced. This one was a better beer in my opinion but still seemed to be lacking something. What I enjoy [...]

Beer 101: What is IPA?

Posted on 13 August 2008 by cliff
