In the Werkes

Hey all Farmers,
This is a new blog set up to follow the trials and tribulations of one Community brewing project.

The brewers now are three hearty souls of varying backgrounds - a geologist, an energy wholesaler and your bloghost a, shall we say, forensic accountant with firepower. More may join the fray. But this is not about us. This is about the beer.

Scheduled this weekend is a meeting to take inventory of items currently at our disposal and those needed to start the task at hand. We've got books, websites, pieces of old brew kits and some mild experience. What we've got most of is gumption and the desire to create. The idea was hashed at one of our many community parties. Drinking beer leads to talking beer, leads to making beer, that simple. Our geologist suggested we take it a little further. No malt extracts, take a shot at all grain brewing. It should be fun. No, it will be fun!

So now we embark on the journey to follow in the footsteps of true trailblazers, footsteps that led to the establishment of civilization as we know it. Yes, it was beer that brought us together thousands of years ago. I'll bet they didn't teach you that in history class.

The name for those German challenged - BraunBoro Bauernhof Bier Werkes - translates to Brownsboro Farm Beer Works. Our little gem of a community is tucked into the eastern suburbs of Louisville, Kentucky. We have great neighbors, great friends, great parties and now hopefully great beer. So grab a beer and watch for updates ....
