Tasting Room - On Tap

Send Your Camel To Bed was inspired by Maria Muldaur's song “Midnight At The Oasis” It's a very dark beer with an ABV that pushes the ABV limit of the “Dry Stout” category.

The traditional Guinness is only about 3.5% ABV. Americans like an extra kick. This brew has the extra kick, and can be described as “Black” instead of “Dark Brown”.

Review:    

Coming December 2017

Quoins were little expanding clamps that were used in ancient letterpress printing presses. If a printer got angry, he might toss a quoin at his devil.   Quoins have been obsolete for a half-century or more, and Printers' Devils have been jobless about the same amount of time.

No Clones!  All our beers are unique. While we do try to match the style of some famous brews, we don't try to clone them. We purchase a year's supply of whole hop flowers at the end of each growing season, and we limit the number of varieties to those we can use up in a year's time, so they won't get stale. Life's too short to drink stale beer!
