with anzac day passing, and after meeting for lunch with my lovely nana, i've decided that my next few beers will be in commemoration and in celebration of some of the most important people in my and jenna's lives: our grandparents.
i will be making a collection of beers that will, even in small ways, remind us and allow us to remember things about our lovely grandparents; both those alive, and those who are sadly no longer with us. the name 'now and then' signifies how much of their lives were lived before we both came along and how they were able to set foundations and pave ways for us to be here (then), but also how their love, lessons, anecdotes, joys, characteristics, and mannerisms (with many more) are still very much a part of who we both are (now). they were both before us, but very much with us in our lives.
the first of these many beers will be the douglas dinner ale named after my pop. it will be brewed in his memory as it is similar to a style of beer he drank a few of in his time after knocking off from work. it will be a replica, of sorts, of the reschs dinner ale - an old sydney vintage brew using old school, english east kent goldings hops paired with australian grown cluster hops, with a few more of my own twists.
the second of these beers will be the franklin red ale named after jenna's grandfather - a west coast dry amber ale which showcases traditional fruity american hops, but has a big malty backbone with a beautiful red hue. keep checking back for more information soon!
