Familyhood Reunion Anniversary!

What do you think when you think of Home?

We think of you.

WE WILL BE HAVING A VIRTUAL B-DAY THIS YEAR. STAY TUNED FOR NEW DETAILS TO FOLLOW.

Home Brewing Company is celebrating it’s 5th anniversary with brews and merch!
The Homebrewer: Supplies & Resource celebrates it’s 8th and we’re giving you deals on Deals on DEALS!!

Now we like to think of ourselves as classy folk,
so we’ve decided to base a theme off of traditional anniversary gifts and even extended to the United Kingdom for some inspiration.

5th Anniversary gift is Salt: As enthusiasts of those malty European brews, this is inspired by UK tradition.
Salt signifies value and essential to life (Just like our love of beer and camaraderie with you all)

8th Anniversary gift is Wood: Symbolizing a durable, long-lasting and solid relationship.
(Which we feel like we have with you all <3)

So what does our anniversary look like you might ask?

Friday: PAR-TAY time! All day we will be releasing some of our favorite brews that bring us joy. Jacob is also brewing away to bring you some of the best Home Brewing Company has to offer 😉

Introducing our newest installment to Home Brewing Company:

Nomadic Phases: Specialty Bottle Series

We often pull aside small portions of our larger batches to experiment with various other aspects of the brewing process and myriad ingredients. In the past we have released these as simple blank bottles, with a simple tag that only lists the name of the beer and it’s abv. These are some of our favorite beers, and we love opening them for special occasions. It’s time that we gave these beers the attention that they deserve, so we are rolling out a new bottle series dubbed Nomadic Phases. This series of beers will feature various styles and various ingredient/process experiments. The binding factor will be that they are all special to us, and fantastically interesting and delicious.

Nomadic Phases with Nectarines – 6.4%
Saison with French Oak, Nectarines, Peaches & Brett Lambicus
This bottle features a portion of our saison fermented with nectarines, peaches, french oak, and wild yeast that we brewed in collaboration with Nomad Donuts. We then bottle conditioned that beer with Brettanomyces Lambicus. The result is a slightly drier saison, with accented notes of stone fruit and white pepper. The first beer – and namesake – for our Nomadic Phases Bottle Series.

Saturday: Getting down to the nitty gritty and do some good ole’ fashion learning, with copious amounts of beer of course.

Jared’s Crew Brew Release & St. Patty’s Day Beer Magic

Did someone say Green Glitter Beer?!

That’s right we did. Jacob is making dreams happen around here and Zana is “tapping” into her River Dance days and doing the Irish Jig in excitement. Will you be joining her? After a few Green Glitter Beers you will!

Another thing that makes us smile from ear to ear is our crew brews. Jared took one of his homebrew and with Jacob’s help, they are upping the ante!

A Dry Irish Stout with Coffee & Tea Collective and Oak Chips! And! At Jared’s request, we will be topping it with whipped cream. Because, it feels good to make magic happen and dreams come true. Looks like you could strike gold at Home Brewing Co.
