Super Secret Sect Meets in Boonville for the Immaculate Concoction.
If you know about the small, secluded nook of Anderson Valley at all, you know it for either its world-class beers or unspoiled natural beauty. But there is another side to the Anderson Valley, one of diligence, dedication, and somber reflection. This side of the valley is rarely seen by most visitors and is little know to many of the locals. There is amongst the rolling hills and towering redwood trees a quiet group of dedicated men and women that have pledged their lives to the betterment of mankind’s existence on this lonely, blue planet. This is the Anderson Valley Society for the Study, Proliferation and Advancement of Small Scale Monastic Brewing Sciences and Technology (AVSSPASSMBST). This reclusive group of stalwart perquisitors of knowledge gather but infrequently. One such assembly occurred on a recent near-spring-like weekend in the hamlet of Boonville. This aggregation of socii was to formulate and then execute the brewing of one of the most difficult and dangerous beer styles on earth, that of the really humongous Belgian Double. What follows is a photo essay of this mysterious society’s creative endeavors.
The release party will be held Saturday, April 28th, at Toronado, 547 Haight Street, in San Francisco, from 4-8 pm.
