The season of giving is upon us. Here is my list of beery gift ideas for 2011. Admittedly, some of these are timeless. While there’s nothing new about getting someone a homebrew kit, I offer some advice. Some of my other gift ideas are new, having only been published or invented in the past year.

The Oxford Companion to Beer
$39.00 on Amazon

Your know-it-all boyfriend only thinks he understands the history of IPA. He might imagine himself really smart about beer, but the recently published  Oxford Companion to Beer will put him in his place. For the hardcore beer geek in your life, it will provide countless hours of educational reading with over 800 pages of intense beer information.

The book’s 1,400-and-something entries were edited by Garrett Oliver, Brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewing, who is widely recognized as a rockstar brewer and leading beer scholar. According to the book’s Foreword, which was written by celebrity chef Tom Calicchio, “The Oxford Companion to Beer provides an exhaustive account of not only beer’s history but its science and its art.”

The book has proven wildly popular and is already in its third printing after being released just a few months ago. We did a post about the Oxford Companion to Beer back in October. Read it here. Available at Amazon or check with the local book store. I bought my copy at the Book Larder in Fremont.

The Great American Ale Trail
$14.00 on Amazon

The Great American Ale Trail is sort of like a hitchhiker’s guide to beer. For the most part, information is divided state by state. The author, Christian DeBenedetti, lists all of the top places to drink beer from sea to shining sea. There is greater focus on the regions with which DeBenedetti is most familiar. Luckily, he’s an Oregon native so there is plenty of focus on the Northwest and California, the area’s where we Washington beer drinkers would most likely find ourselves searching for good beer.

There is no way that you could list all of the great beer destinations in America. This is just one man’s educated opinion. Still, it’s fun to read about places you’ve been before or might never go. It makes you want to hit the road. If you ever go on a cross-country beer adventure, The Great American Ale Trail might come in particularly handy.

Growler on Board
$29.99 online

It’s all about safety. A growler full of beer is a dangerous thing to have rolling around the back seat of your car. The Growler on Board Beer Transportation Unit is produced by a local, Seattle-area company. It’s pretty new, hasn’t been on the market for long, is available from just a few retail outlets and only recently became available online, so your beer-loving hubby will probably be the first kid on the block to have one.

After a tragic accident that cost us a one growler of beer and one hour of work cleaning it up, we have now equipped the Washington Beer Cruiser with a Growler on Board. We love it. Why wouldn’t we? We did a post about it. Read it here.

Go to the Growler on Board website to find a retail location or order one online.

Bottleshop Gift Certificate
$ Your Choice

Giving the someone a gift certificate to the local bottleshop is actually not the same as giving them beer. We beer lovers can spend hours browsing the shelves, looking to see what’s new, quizzing the bottleshop staff about this and that. A $40 gift certificate might take me two hours to use before I even get the beer home.

Bottleshops are awesome. Any excuse you give me to go there is very much appreciated. The Beer Junction (blog sponsor) even lets you order gift certificates online.

Kegerator
$350 – $1,700

You probably already know if your significant other wants one of these. Likely, it has been a topic of conversation. I won’t waste time discussing the virtues of in-home kegerators, or the marital  distress I’ve seen them cause, instead I will just offer some advice. Get a good one. There is a reason why prices vary so drastically. Some of the less expensive models that I’ve seen are actually pretty good while others are nothing but trash.

Truth is, about $500 will get you a decent kegerator. A really good one from a commercial manufacturer like Beverage Air will set you back $1,000 or more. It’s money well spent. Shop around. Don’t get a cheap one just because it’s cheap. Try to get the best one your money will buy.

If you really want to go big, consider getting the stainless steel Viking Professional Series freestanding beverage dispenser. Woof! Expect to pay $1,700 plus shipping unless you can find one locally.

Tap Cleaning Kit
$40 – $75
It is a sad fact of life. It is the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about. People don’t clean their lines as often as they should. A lot of bars don’t even do a responsible job of cleaning the beer lines. Your kegerator-loving hubby, buddy or sibling should be cleaning their lines about once every 1/2 barrel. It can be a pain in the butt, I know, but there are kits out there designed to make it easy.

Kegworks.com has a number of different kits available.

Home Brewing Starter Kit
$ 100 – ?

In drag racing there’s a saying: speed costs money, how fast do you want to go? The same is true with homebrew equipment. Sure, it’s not that expensive if you focus on the essentials of what is really needed to get brewing, and you can vacillate between the ease of extract brewing and the virtues of all-grain brewing, but in the end it’s really about how much you want to spend.

You can get into a starter kit for under $100 but how long will that satisfy your brewing Jones? Shop around if you want, or just head straight to Larry’s Brewing Supply in Kent and listen to their advice. Recognize what you’re getting yourself into. In brewing there is a saying: “Give a man a beer and he’ll drink for 20 minutes. Buy a man a homebrew starter kit and he’ll end up building a nano-brewery in the backyard.”

SABCO Brew-Magic V350MS
$6,000

Go big or go home. Dare to dream. The first time I saw one of these systems was when I visited Ancient Lakes Brewing in Quincy, WA. It is hard to tell whether this is a very small commercial brewing system or a homebrewing system on steroids. I’d call it a pilot brewing system – capable of brewing small, test batches of beer for commercial breweries. Whatever the heck it is, the SABCO Brew-Magic system is very cool.

There are way too many features and details to mention here. Like I said, go big or go home.

Check it out on the SABCO website.

About one year ago we first told you about Reuben’s Brews, when home brewer Adam Robbings’ Roasted Rye IPA took the 2010 PNA Winter Beer Taste by storm (read it) and won first place. Fast-forward. About one week ago someone forwarded to me a curious email from Adam Robbings, who was apparently looking for a metal fabricator and/or a contractor to help build a brewery. About one day ago I received a press release from Adam officially announcing that he is in the process of going pro.

From the brewery’s website: “We are a small, family owned and operated brewery located in Ballard in Seattle, WA.  We plan to have our brilliantly tasty artisan ales available for your consumption in June 2012!  We will have a kid-friendly taproom where you can meet with friends, sample and learn about our beers, and pick up a growler to enjoy elsewhere!  As a small, craft brewery operating on an artisan scale, we can’t guarantee broad distribution of our truly seasonal brews.  We hope you make the trip often to imbibe our frequently changing brews and become a part of the Reuben’s Brews Family.”

Here’s the press release.

REUBEN’S BREWS TO OPEN NEW ARTISAN BREWERY FOR THE LIQUID ENJOYMENT OF ALL BEER LOVERS

Ballard, Seattle WA. December 5, 2011.

Reuben’s Brews is delighted to announce that we have found the perfect location, signed the lease, and are set to open a new artisan brewery in Ballard, Seattle next year! Our family owned and operated microbrewery, named after our son, will open its doors in the summer of 2012.

We are committed to using truly artisan techniques with the finest ingredients to provide you delicious, unique beers. We fully understand that discerning beer drinkers have numerous options when deciding what to imbibe, and we will work our tails off to provide you with brilliantly tasty brews to fill your growler.

You may have already tried our beers. As homebrewers, we were the People’s Choice First Place recipient in the PNA Winter Beer Taste in 2010 with our Roasted Rye PA. Our Best of Show American Brown was brewed by Anacortes Brewery in the fall of 2011, and served in a number of Seattle locations. Our co-founder and brewer Adam Robbings is an award-winning homebrewer with a vast collection of brews he can’t wait for you to enjoy.

Our location will feature a small taproom and brewery, located at 1406 NW 53rd St. in Seattle.  We will craft truly seasonal rotating ales, and we look forward to getting your direct feedback on our creations when you visit our family-friendly taproom.

Please follow our progress and look for ways to get involved in our journey at www.facebook.com/ReubensBrews and www.ReubensBrews.com.

We will be privileged to serve you our brilliantly tasty artisan ales in 2012!

Cheers!

Adam and Grace Robbings

Today we’d like to congratulate the winners of the 2011 Puyallup Fair Amateur Beer Competition. Each year home brewers submit samples of their product to a panel of judges in hopes of taking home a rosette and maybe even some cash.

Most of us take it for granted but the Puyallup Fair is kind of a big deal. It is one of the largest fairs in the country. It is also one of the oldest fairs in the western United States: Western Washingtonians have been doing the Puyallup since 1900. It is impossible to say exactly how many pigs, chickens, breeding bulls, and other livestock have done their business on the floors of the fair’s barns over the years. Likewise, it is hard to fathom the number of peonies, roses and dahlias judged by squint-eyed flower aficionados.

We know this for sure, the venerable Fisher Scone Wagon sold it’s 100 millionth scone at the fair this year. We also know that 71,581 kids went down the Giant Slide in 2011. A remarkable 6,876,000 feet of toilet paper was flushed away at this year’s fair: enough TP to stretch from Puyallup to Denver. Yep, the Puyallup Fair is a big deal. Taking home a ribbon from any event that consumes so much toilet paper is truly an honor.

The Puyallup Fair recently announced the winners of the Amateur Beer Competition. The first and second place winners received a cash premium and rosette; third place winners were awarded a rosette. Best in Show winners received a large rosette as a prize.

2011 Beer Winners

This post is about an invitation-only beer festival. How do you score an invitation? Read on.

Are you a member of a homebrew club? If you brew your own beer, you probably should be. Sharing the beer you’ve brewed and what you’ve learned about the process with other homebrewers is one of the true joys of home brewing. Also, if you’re a member of Washington’s many homebrew clubs, you can score an invitation to Beerstock 5060. And it’s not too late to join a club.

Brewing is NOT a Crime
Before 2009 it was illegal for homebrewers to transport more than one gallon of beer out of their homes. This made it difficult for homebrew enthusiasts to share their work legally. Considering the popularity of homebrew clubs, and home brewing in general, it’s pretty hard to pass around samples of your beer with fellow club members if you can only transport one gallon of beer at a time. Basically, this law made most homebrewers criminals.

At the behest of some right-minded homebrew enthusiasts, Senator Ken Jacobsen of North Seattle introduced legislation that would change the one gallon law, but also prevent homebrewers from selling their product, which is all the government really wanted to do. Senate Bill 5060 eventually became the law of the land, allowing homebrewers to legally transport up to 20 gallons of beer for club meetings and tasting events.

To celebrate the passage of Senate Bill 5060 and the changes to the one gallon law, local homebrewers stage a big party: Brewstock 5060. The event takes place in Puyallup and overnight camping is encouraged.

This is an “invitation only” event. It is not a public event. You must be a member of a homebrew club. This sounds like a good reason to become one. Your homebrew club can get you an invitation. Here is a list of Washington homebrew clubs from WAHA (Washington Homebrewers Association).

Here are details from the event organizers.

Sat Aug 6th
All day homebrewers festival in the Puyallup, WA area. Homebrew served all day by local clubs and overnight camping.

YOU MUST BE A HOMEBREW CLUB MEMBER TO ATTEND! In accordance with the law, this is a private event and only Washington homebrew club members are allowed to attend. Not in a club? JOIN ONE RIGHT NOW! Clubs that are attending Beerstock have a focal and this person can help coordinate your attendance. They’ll have all of the rest of the info you need to attend this epic event.  So join up ASAP and see you there!

WHAT IS BEERSTOCK 5060?:

Beerstock 5060 is a private festival for Wa state home brewers that celebrates the repeal of an old law on the WA books that made it technically illegal to transport and share homebrew except for the purposes of competition. This meant that when you took a growler over to your friends house, or to your homebrew clubs meeting that you were in violation of the law.

Washington Homebrewers Association (WAHA) and local home brewers worked hard petitioning the local government to get the law repealed, which happened in July 2009. The event celebrating the repeal of the law was the brainchild of a handful of Northern Puget Sound local home brewers. The event was named Beerstock 5060 for the number of the bill which eventually passed, and for the spirit of that granddaddy of festivals, Woodstock.

In 2009 the first Beerstock 5060 was held as the first, legal get-together of Washington homebrew clubs to taste each other’s home brew and talk brewing across home brew club lines. Yes, it’s like a homebrew beer fest!

The spirit of this festival continues on an annual basis. All homebrewers or interested brewers are welcome to attend.

This will be the 3rd annual of the event. Last year we had almost 200 attendees and over 80 different beers served. I am the primary information contact for the festival. If you are a WA homebrewer, or a homebrewer visiting the area and wish to attend, please contact me for more information at zenbrew1@gmail.com

–By Nate Muller, Senior Homebrew Correspondent–

The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) is having a member rally at the Pike Brewery coming up on July 10.  I’m really excited about this event for a few reasons.  The first is that Charlie Papazian will be there.  Charlie is a legend of homebrewing.  He’s one of the most influential people in bringing homebrewing back to the mainstream.  His book “The Complete Joy of Homebrewing” was one of the first books on homebrewing I read.  He founded the AHA and has since continuously fought for homebrewing rights.

Homebrewing rights may sound like a joke, but it’s not at all.  Prohibition left a tangled mess of laws restricting or outlawing homebrewing.  It wasn’t until 1978 that homebrewing was legalized in the US.  It was only recently legalized in Oklahoma and Utah, thanks to the AHA.  Unfortunately, it’s still illegal in Alabama and Mississippi.

On a happier note, the AHA also sponsors great events, publishes Zymurgy, and brings homebrewers together to advance the hobby.  If you’ve been thinking of becoming a member of the NHC, this is a great excuse to do so.  Membership includes a subscription to Zymurgy, access to member rallies, a pub discount program, and more.  I never pay attention to my pub discounts, but if I did, I could probably pay for my membership in pub discounts.

Hope to see you at this or future member rallies. Sign up before the event fills up.

Cheers,

Nate

Yesterday we announced that the 2012 American Homebrewers Association selected Bellevue, WA as the location for its 2012 National Homebrewers Conference. The video teaser that the Washington Homebrewers Association (WAHA) produced about the upcoming event is informative and funny. I’ve included it at the end of this post.

Today we offer a trip report from Nate Muller, our Sr. Homebrew Corespondent, who just returned from this year’s conference in San Diego. With a dinner catered by Sean Paxton and guest speakers like Tomme Arthur and Vinny Cilurzo (the genius behind Pliny the Elder, Pliny the Younger and others), you can understand why all beer geeks and not just homebrew geeks should be happy that this conference is coming to town.

National Homebrew Conference San Diego Trip Report

by Nate Muller – Washington Beer Blog Sr. Homebrew Correspondent

I just got back from the National Homebrewers Conference (NHC) in San Diego and it did not disappoint. I have been listening to glowing reports from NHC for years now, but haven’t been able to make the trip due to other obligations.The real stinger was when I was actually in Oakland during the Oakland festival two years ago, but had other obligations that kept me from enjoying the festival. Finally, just last weekend, I got to spend three fantastic days enjoying the largest homebrewing event in the country.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with NHC, here’s the scoop. It’s a three-day conference full of homebrew sampling and guest lectures on all things brewing. Guest speakers this year included Tomme Arthur from Lost Abbey/Port Brewing, Matt Brynildson of Firestone Walker Brewing Co., and some of you may have heard of Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River Brewing Company just to name a few. The event finishes with a banquet catered by Sean Paxton, the homebrew chef, and the presentation of the National Homebrew Awards.

Personally, I focused on the lectures this year. Being my first time, I wanted to absorb as much information as humanly possible. I’ll spare you the details, but I learned a ton and got to meet a lot of my brewing heroes in person. One of my favorite speakers was Ken Schramm who is the master of all things mead.  He was funny, informative, and most importantly—he poured a ton of mead during his talk. I’m amazed that I found my way out the door after that talk.

Homebrew correspondent Nate Muller and fellow homebrewers participate in a podcast from the 2011 AHA National Homebrew Conference.

The biggest news to come out of the San Diego conference is what we already announced on the Washington Beer Blog: 2012 will be in Seattle! Ok, technically, it’s in Bellevue, but close enough. We are super excited to be hosting next year. A number of people from Washington Homebrewers Association have already put in a ton of hours preparing for this event. I particularly like the teaser video (below) they put together for the NHC Seattle. You can check out the Brewing with Bigfoot website for more details as the conference develops.  It’s going to take a lot of work and a lot of people to make this event a success. Keep an eye out for more posts from me to learn how you can be involved. I’m looking forward to volunteering next year, the volunteers this year seemed to be having as much if not more fun than the participants.

The Washington Homebrewers Association publicly announced today that the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) National Homebrewers Conference is coming to Bellevue in 2012. Each year a significant portion of the AHA’s 26,000 members descend upon one lucky city to share their love of homebrew and beer in general. Next year, they’re coming to Bellevue. While the secret has not been very well kept, it is official as of today. The AHA wanted to wait until the 2011 conference had concluded before they announced the location of the 2012 conference.

This is a bigger deal than you might be thinking. The 2011 AHA National Homebrewers Conference, held this past weekend in San Diego, was attended by nearly 2,000 homebrewers from across the nation. No doubt there will be many great beer events—for homebrewers and other beer lovers—planned around the conference. We will have more details in the coming months. The event is scheduled for June 21-23, 2012.

Below is the official announcement we received this morning via Nate Muller, the Washington Beer Blog’s Senior Homebrew Correspondent.

Homebrew correspondent Nate Muller (dark shirt on left) and fellow homebrewers participate in a podcast from the 2011 AHA National Homebrewers Conference.

The Washington Homebrewers Association is proud to publicly announce that the 2012 National Homebrewers Conference will be held in Bellevue, Washington from June 21^st-23^rd at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue. This is the largest annual gathering of homebrewers in the country and is an event not to miss. It features three days of educational seminars from homebrewers, craft brewers, and industry professionals, hosting of the second round of the National Homebrew Competition (the world’s largest beer competition), a local craft brewers festival, industry exhibits, and a homebrew club night / festival where you can try the best and most innovative homebrews from all over the country (and from all of our clubs!) You can find out more about the National Homebrewers Conference at www.ahaconference.org and can see a fun pre-conference video at www.brewingwithbigfoot.com (the local committee’s main website).

The conference is a great time but takes a lot of effort from local homebrewers and clubs. We will be needing people to help plan pre-conference events, judge and steward for the competition, help with beer logistics, and generally just lend a hand throughout all of the conference events. With a lot of help the conference will run incredibly smoothly and everyone will have a great time. We will be working to get up a tool to volunteer to help with the conference very soon. You can read about all of the things that the local committee has to work on here: http://ahaclubs.homebrewersassociation.org/NHCplanningguide.

The most important thing that you can start doing now is brewing beer, meads, and ciders! We are the hosts and as the hosts, we want the guests to be able to enjoy great brews all throughout the conference. You can start brewing some great, exciting beers now and definitely get brewing next spring. Homebrewers who are part of clubs should start getting together to plan out what beers they would like to have on tap at throughout the conference. Clubs should start finding out who is planning on being a part of the conference and form a planning team to help arrange club logistics.

We are very excited to have all of you be a part of what will be the greatest conference ever. Get the word out to your friends and start your beer engines!

Cheers,

Washington Homebrewers Association

Professional Brewers Turn to Home Brewers for Inspiration

Here’s a beer competition that’s great for home brewers and beer lovers alike: the Puget Sound Pro-Am Competition. This competition is all about bringing professional brewers and home brewers together.

For home brewers, this is an amazing opportunity to have your beer brewed at a commercial scale. The list of breweries is huge this year, with 15 breweries participating. Many of the breweries have even been kind enough to indicate what style they’d like to select from the competition.

For beer lovers, this event will inspire a bunch of new recipes at your favorite breweries. Keep an eye out for the Pro-Am winning beers. They are often creative and always tasty. Here’s the list of participating breweries:

Ram Restaurant and Brewery

Elysian Brewery

Big Time Brewery

Rock Bottom – Seattle

Rock Bottom – Bellevue

Big Al Brewing

Baron Brewing

Diamond Knot Brewery

Snipes Mountain Brewing

Naked City Brewing

Harmon Brewery

BJ’s – Tacoma

Flyers Brewery

Powerhouse Brewery

Issaquah Brewhouse

I plan to submit my entry soon. I’m going to try my hand with a hoppy cream ale that I like to call Muller Lite. The entries are due Tuesday, April 26^th. I won a similar contest with my Belgian Dubbel named OmmeKNate which earned me the opportunity to brew with Al and Big Al’s Brewing. I hope many of you get to do the same.

An Interview with Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery

by Nate Muller – Senior Homebrew Correspondent

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff Hicks, President and founder of Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery, last month at the ExBeerience Beer Festival. Flying Bike’s concept of building a brewery is unique—they want to make a member-owned cooperative, instead of the typical corporate ownership structure. They don’t yet have a brewery or a brewing license, but they are starting to put together plans for what I hope will be a very successful brewery. I interviewed Jeff after the event to learn about this new concept. Here’s what I got out of him.

What is the overall concept of Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery?

My intention was to assist entrepreneurial home brewers in getting them a way to get their product to market without starting a brewery on their own.

I saw the value in creating a collaborative environment where the home brewer members could not only own a brewery but, contribute to making the cooperative a birthplace of great new beers through competition.

I had not taken into account the rather large group of local craft beer lovers who support and follow the craft beer community. There would be no market for our beer without these people so why not include them in the brewery as well.

Although it was not my intention, I really like that people are describing our cooperative brewery concept as “Open Source Beer” or “Beer 2.0”.

What are your goals in creating this brewery?

We want to provide a place for like-minded people to gather and collaborate on beer.

Develop a community of people who are interested in the brewery and fulfill the needs of the society of people who form around it.

Support and promote the craft beer community.

Build awareness through education and appreciation.

What is your status?  Are you close to brewing beer?

After almost a year of work, the cooperative was incorporated at the beginning of March and we are finalizing the details for accepting memberships. The first 300 members will make up the “Thirsty 300” which will have special benefits unavailable to anyone else.

We are planning on having a launch party on May 14^th. More details to come.

How many owners do you have right now?

We currently have the original 9 member-owners operating as the board of directors. Our membership drive will be starting very soon.

How many owners do you think you need to get the brewery started?

We plan on having up to 2000 members once we open but, they only generate 40% of the money we need. Later this summer, once we reach the 650 member mark, we will start our member loan campaign. We expect to raise an additional 40% of our capital from the campaign and the final 20% comes from the bank, grants, and donations.

How big do you ultimately hope to grow?

We have no intention on limiting how many members we signup.

What’s your flagship beer right now?  Is that what you hope to open with?  If not, do you have a target for a flagship beer?

Our plan is to work on our flagship beers over the next year as we build membership. Since we need our members help to decide, we have no other target other than the grand opening in late 2012.

I love beer and I love innovation, so I hope to see Flying Bike Cooperative succeed. They are still working out complete ownership details, but they said that a basic membership will be $150. For the member-investor, it will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000. If you’re interested in hearing more, they will have a membership drive on May 14th. We will fill you in as details develop. In the meantime, visit the Flying Bike website for details.

Cheers,

Nate
