June 2016 Recap

Welcome to Summer! BBQs, session beers, and hopefully some days on the water.

The NBA kicked off June with a Taproom Takeover at Fulton on the 2nd. A Twins game was happening the same night, in the future we will move Fulton to a month not during the baseball season…

On the 16th we met at ESNS for our monthly meeting:

Barrels
On Saturday the 26th we emptied and filled barrel #4 of barrel project 2. A sour strong came out and a lambic style beer went in. We pitched a bunch of fauna from a bottles, other bottles and some built up concoctions. Subsequently the barrel required a blow-off tube the next day!
