Wish I had been there!

Aw, you all look like you had a great time! Sad I missed it, but that just gives me more motivation to make sure I can make it to the next event! Yay OPP!

Strange Jersey: Ramstein Brewery, Butler

Two words: fantastic trip.

Five more words: we missed our other comrades.

Who knew Scranton was in Jersey?

Ramstein is quite the impressive establishment. We'll have longer posts and photos up soon. In the mean time, cheers!

November 8th Event

"Don't be shy
Let it fly"

We are on our way to Butler, NJ to visit the only all wheat brewery in the US. We just saw a Ford truck with a confederate flag with the quote above on the bumper sticker. We will update later!

Hey Barack (Bring Back the FRO!)

November Schedule Announced!

Go ahead and hold your hats, folks, and while you're at it, take off of work on November 8th, 'cause we're headed to Butler, NJ (High Point Brewery / Ramstein Beer) for the debut of the Winter Wheat! High Point is America's first exclusively wheat beer brewery, and though we may not all love a Wheat, we all love Germany, and these are brewed in the traditional four ingredient Deutsch style! Hip hip huzzah for Deutschland!

Here are some facts stolen from the website:

"Greg found a special brewer’s yeast used only by a small brewery in Bavaria. He was able to get the brewery to let him use the special yeast exclusively at High Point. The unique, complex character of Ramstein beers is a result of this private yeast and of course, High Point’s careful and proper brewing methods."

and

"The name Ramstein was adopted from a town in Germany with a large American population. The town surrounds the U.S. Ramstein Air Force Base. High Point wanted the name of its beers to reflect a marriage of German tradition and American innovation."

Bam! Quotations!

This is one of our furthest locales - It'll take about an hour to get there, but oh will it be worth it!

Princeton's Premier Brew Club goes Flusspferd...

Ye Olde Peculiars were out and about in (almost) full force today.  We missed three of our lovely members - GBR ROR and NSP.  From our brief Ausflug to River Horse in Lambertville NJ I learned a few important things:

1) Our blazers with patches are awesome and attract attention from drunk people.

2) Middle aged drunk people say the darndest things.

3) No matter how many times you say "Seminary" people only hear "Princeton".

All in all a successful trip all around.
