Anderson Valley Christens Bavarian-style Brewhouse
July 25, 2000 – Boonville, California – The wait is over. We’ve finally done it! Yesterday we brewed our first batch of ale in our new Bavarian style brew house with its beautiful, old-fashioned copper brew kettles rescued from defunct German breweries. There are still a few items to install and some systems that aren’t quite complete, but it is ready, willing, and able to brew. It was beautiful to see that wort boiling in the kettle, and a billowy cloud of steam above the brewery, like a halo. It took a bit longer then we expected to get here, but the wait was worth it.
And what did we decide to brew for this inaugural event? The same ale with which we ushered in the new millennium, of course; ‘000 Triple Naught. Brewed to the deep rich color of the rarest amber and possessing a smooth and full malt flavor, with just the right hoppy bite. Truly special events require a truly special brew. Look for it on draught at fine pubs and alehouses, around the second week of August.
