Update from the brewery


Whew. First, what beers are around?

Well, Our Chocolate Raspberry Stout is on tap right now, but running out fast!

Next up will be NataLIPA, which is of course a different blend of malts and hops every time until we get it just perfect, like our namesake. (shameless plug to score points with the wife)

Next weekend we will unveil our first clone in quite a while, UBU Strong Ale based on the Lake Placid Brewery's flagship beer. Ubu is a very hoppy red ale. We had to use substitute hops as two out of the original recipe's three varieties were unattainable due to the crisis. Should turn into beer, though, by our calculations. (The squirrel we hired from the temp agency to run across the keyboard while our promash program was running came highly recommended) This is a beer made for a friend of the brewery to see what will work at his wedding. (Yes, Natsmile Ales is a friend with benefits. Walk of shame totally included.)

We will be brewing a stout this weekend. It's a combination of a bunch of different flavorful American malts and classic English hops. Most recipes usually go with American malts and hops or English malts and hops, but we here at the brewery embrace all beer making countries. If we had a more eloquent marketing department we would come up with a catchy name, but we'll probably just call it Natsmile Stout.
