Got back to Bloomington yesterday in the Dayhoff Hybrid after spending almost a full week up in Chicago for the 2010 World Beer Cup and Craft Brewers Conference. The World Beer Cup is an international beer competition, some would consider even more highly regarded than the Great American Beer Festival competition held in Denver every year. The Craft Brewers Conference is chock full of seminars, beer tastings and general craft brewer networking and socailizing.

Or better, “This is GOING to be Caleb’s beer blog – - once he can find the time. Let’s face it; given the choice, wouldn’t you rather he made Bad Elmer’s or supervised the first bottling of Dantallion rather than write his blog? We thought so.

To our own shock and surprise, the entire batch of sours was reserved in less than 12 hours. Fret not, ye sourheads, for we have been very busy increasing our barrel hoarde.
We started the project with only 4 oak barrels. Today we have over 80 and purchased a 60 HL oak tank (General Sherman) which combined hold over 7000 gallons of fermenting sours in various stages. The next round, indicated by taste and the almighty pH, should be ready to go in August. A big round. More fruit varieties and more bottles, some for reservation, but some for distribution to retail. Patience is a virtue, especially dealing with a beer that takes at least a year from start to finish.
Released pretty much back to back, these two powerful Upland entities will be hitting shelves throughout late March and April. Ard Ri means ‘High King’ in gaelic, clocking in at 9% ABV and 70 IBUs, it has become our steadfast St. Patties day brew. For the first time we also released the beer in 22 oz. bombers, provided by our bottling line that was installed last year. This is also the first time we incorporated whole hops into the Ard Ri
