The Happy Nanobrewery

Happiness is a great craft beer. Happiness is starting a nanobrewery. Happiness is starting a nanobrewery that cannot make enough beer. If you're the nanobrewery owners, you're happy when the brewery is crowded on Saturday.  You're happy when you're getting carpel tunnel from pulling the tap.  You're happy when there's empty keg after empty keg.  (Okay, I'll admit, you're a little stressed about the empty keg thing, too.) The aforementioned  publicity came out in The Houston Herald last Thursday.  That brought a few new people out to the brewery this past Saturday.  Then some of our previous customers brought some…

Nanobrewery Word of Mouth No More

It was bound to happen. We started the PRBC Blog last August (almost one year ago, to be precise).  The Piney River Brewing Facebook page began sometime in late fall.  Our Web site, www.pineyriverbrewing.com, was up and running sometime this winter.

The Beer

The Harrow and the Harvest, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings & Crafting Great Things

Music and beer go hand in hand. Since our stovetop homebrewing days tunes have been a very important part of the beer we've made.  We still have the TV we bought when we were married, but we've upgraded our stereo system more than one time.  The BARn is currently outfitted with an iPod player, but we're already thinking about where and how to pipe the tunes all over the BARn when the time comes.  (This will involve more outdoor speakers.  The cows, the turkeys, the deer all love tunes, too.) Several years ago I read this article in The New…
