Sometimes It’s Good to Be High
We've been practicing...staying up late, drinking something with a big ABV every night, pushing ourselves in anticipation of a trip to Denver, Colorado. Denver has been good to us. We took home a gold for Old Tom Porter at Great American Beer Festival in Denver. We took home gold for Float Trip Ale at the World Beer Cup in Denver. We always find our way to Star Bar, Euclid Hall, Rioja, and Acorn when we're in Denver. Our friends at New Belgium and other breweries in the area welcome beer family with open arms. The Mile High City is always a…

How We Celebrated 5 Years on the Piney River Farm
Five years. Five years?! FIVE YEARS!!! In February, during our grand opening weekend for the new brewery, I told people that five years ago, if you would have told me that there would be a new 12,000 square foot barn on our farm with a new brewhouse, new cold storage, new canning line, etc., I would have laughed and said, “You’ve obviously been drinking.” And here we are, five years later with all of those things and celebrating our 5th Aleiversary to boot. For the first time at an Aleiversary, Brian and I did not spend a crazy portion of the…
