Brewday Is Friday

I’m brewing a batch of my “Nu Skool IPA” Clone. I developed this clone recipe on my own and this is my 2nd batch using it. The last one was fantastic. If you know me, you should already know that I’m and IPA lover and I don’t even know why I waiting so long to brew this again. I guess even an IPA lover needs variety.

If you haven’t tried this beer before, it’s comes from Southern Tier Brewing Co. in Chautauqua N.Y. I grew up in Chautauqua County, but I left way before STB Co. came around. If you have never been there, you should check them out and make a weekend of it. I definately recommend spending some time hanging out at Chatauqua Lake and you could even take in a comedy show at the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum & Center for Comedy.

Happy Brewing!
