http://soulonebrewery.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. 3/22/09 - Brewday review. Although yesterday morning when we started brewing it was barely 40 degrees out, it warmed up quickly and turned out to be a very beautiful day. Here is a review of the day for those who couldn't make it over:. Justin, starting things off nice and properly by apparently taking a moment to say the "Beer Prayer". Justin checking the temperature of the water for the Brown Ale. You can see the IPA in the keg-kettle in the foreground. I caught on fire! NOTE - ...

Wednesday, March 17, 2010. First off, Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone! And, on a personal note, Happy Anniversary to us! Here's to many more years together. St Patrick's Day is a well-known time for green beer. Beer dyed green is all well and good, but there is another type of green beer, a type that is. Green Beer, and we wanted to dedicate some space to it. This company is an inspiration to us. Http:/ www.newbelgium.com/sustainability. Our Alternatively Empowered efforts:.

Soul One Brewery: April 2009
http://soulonebrewery.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2009. April's Beer Tasting: Belgian Beers. We announced around Christmas-time that we had joined Wine Gourmet's Beer of the Month club, with promises of reviewing the beers for you here. Well . that didn't happen for a couple reasons, and effective April 1st, we left the Beer of the Month club. We still think very highly of Wine Gourmet, we just personally wanted to go a different direction. First, we tasted SAXO. Couldn't have said it much better ourselves. We did pick up the sc...

Soul One Brewery: December 2009
http://soulonebrewery.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 11, 2009. This past Sunday we brewed another batch of our Back Porch Brown Ale. The difference of brewing this day was that we started brewing was coated in ice. This was the deck, first thing in the morning, as we got ready to set up for brewing. We're getting set up now and you can see the ice still coating the deck. At least it's not raining, right? Shannon, in his hat and gloves, helping to skim the foam off of the wort, at the end of the sparge, as it gets ready to boil. Salem, Virg...

Saturday, May 30, 2009. Decadence on Memorial Day. Quick apology for the lack of photos here, but keep a weather eye our on that horizon for a slideshow of photos soon to come! On Memorial Day, after a long weekend (two nights little kids = long weekend) of camping, we got to brew! Most people were busy grilling out and celebrating pools opening we were busy brewing up our intense "Decadence" and noshing on some homemade pizzas! And instead of finding other shelter in the rain, they stood at the baby gat...

Tuesday, June 15, 2010. The Perfect Place to Have a Beer? Rick Lyke over at http:/ lyke2drink.blogspot.com. Recently blogged about an article he'd written in the new issue of All About Beer magazine titled "150 Perfect Places to Have a Beer". Check it out here: http:/ lyke2drink.blogspot.com/2010/06/beer-traveler-150-perfect-places-to.html. It's a very good list. However, in our opinion, some of the best places are missing. Here is our brief list of some of those places. In your local pub. They opened at...

Thursday, November 12, 2009. Teach a Friend to Homebrew. Last Saturday, November 7th, was National Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day. From http:/ www.beertown.org/events/teach/index.html.

HOWEVER, something kinda impressive happened the next morning. Tristan helping stir the pot. While a 5 1/2 year old a...

Soul One Brewery: A Proud Moment
http://soulonebrewery.blogspot.com/2010/12/proud-moment.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. Blacksburg Brew Do ( http:/ www.blacksburgpartnership.org/brewdo/index.html. At 7am we were greeted by Bull and Bones' head brewer, Jim Strickland. Jim only had to roll out of bed and make the couple minute drive there from his house. We were a little jealous of this given our ordeal getting up there. Their system maxes out at 900 lbs of grain so to accommodate that we had to brew a slightly smaller batch to get the target OG (. Except for emptying 900 lbs of grain! This was es...

Saturday, May 21, 2011. As you can see from the top of the blog, we've now got ourselves a snazzy ole logo. Many, many thanks to our friend Jesse Barnes for his hard work in designing it along with the labels that he designed to go on the beers themselves! We're lovin' the new look. Brewing has been going good this year, though of course we're still not brewing as frequently as we would like to. Hopefully we'll be brewing again soon, maybe next weekend, likely brewing our Rainy Day Pale Ale. We're dedica...
