March Bottle Share
March 9th, 7:15 PM at Gnome Brew
Join us for our monthly bottle share at the shop. Just bring a couple bottles of your homebrewed beer, cider, wine, mead, or whatever to share with others. If you're new to homebrewing or just don't have any spare bottles, don't worry—you're welcome to come.
Bottle shares are a great opporunity to try others' homebrews, get feedback on your own homebrew, and trade tips, tricks and stories. But mostly, it's a time to hang out and have fun with fellow beer lovers.
This is a free event. No registration required.

Dark Mild Recipe
5 Gallon All Grain Batch; 2.8% ABV
One of our favorite session beers, this mild packs a lot of flavor in a sub 3% ABV beer! The Yorkshire Square Ale yeast brings out the malty character of the Maris Otter and complements it with a highly characterful English fruitiness. The Brown Malt and Pale Chocolate add a full malt richness with hints of chocolate without becoming roasty. Simpsons Medium Crystal rounds it out with a pleasant toffee sweetness that is far from cloying.

| Notes: |

If you use the White Labs PurePitch Next Generation package, you can pitch half the yeast and recap for later use without losing viablility. Because of the small grain bill we brew this no-sparge. Feel free to save some water for sparging. |

On Tap At Gnome Brew
Hop Sampler: Galaxy (5% ABV)
Undoubtedly Australia's most popular hop, Galaxy® has quickly come to dominate the IPA space since being in 2009. Galaxy has a very high concentration of oils which impart loads of tropical flavor, notably passion fruit, as well as peach and citrus, and which become more distinct when used late in the kettle, whirlpool or dry hopping.
While Galaxy is great by itself, it is often paired with Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Amarillo.
Tor (8% ABV)
A house favorite and perfect for drinking while fasting during the Lenten season. This very rich, malty lager with hints of dark dried fruit and artisanal bread crust is a classic take on the famous beer first brewed by the Paulaner monks—a style now known as doppelbock. Our recipe has a simple grain bill of Weyermann's Munich Type 2, Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner Malt and CaraMunich 2.
Golden Promise Wee Heavy (8.6% ABV)
A strong Scottish style ale brew with 16 pounds of our Malt of the Month, Simpsons Golden Promise with a dash of Simpsons Dark Crystal and Red Rye Crystal. This sticky, slightly viscous and boozy bronze colored ale tastes of graham cracker, maple, caramel, with a light vegetal pepperiness from the Red Rye Crystal.
