Needed or Not? – Lego Beer

I do not have the patience to put together a Lego Millennium Falcon let alone something tiny, but I would give this Lego Krug a try…

…though 189 pieces is daunting to me. I also like that it is for 18 years and up. As if someone younger would start drinking after putting this together.

Very Needed! See, I do like some beer toys.

In a previous post, I gave you the direction to follow the Beery Godmother on Instagram. Primarily for her Beer Fact Fridays.

As a reminder and because there is a multi-part topic being covered that should get more attention, I am back again with the push to follow her.

The topic is line cleaning and it is an important procedure especially if your taproom or bar is pouring multiple styles.

So head HERE to watch and learn.

Timbo 2025

Timbo Week is back for 2025. at Highland Park Brewery. There is nothing like sitting on their patio with a plethora of pilsner picks.  So prep yourself accordingly. Step one is to bag the Timbo pin.  Wearing that will get you a little extra during this week of hoppy pilsner heaven.

Last 4th?

Sorry, not sorry for the blog post title because celebrating today seems a little dodgy. But even if we can’t really wear the red, white and blue with pride today, you can buy local craft beer and support small business who truly are the backbone of this country. So get out there and be truly patriotic.

Wish I Could Taste – July 2025

Gueuzerie Tilquin has released what they claim is the first gueuze in a can ever. It is Petite Gueuze Tilquin, “a blend of 70% 1-year-old light Meerts and 30% 2-year-old lambics, all spontaneously fermented and matured in oak barrels. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, this beer was given 2 months to spontaneously refermented in the can. It will surely keep evolving but its ready to drink…”

Only 12,000 were “canned with the help of our friends from Brasserie Minne (Somme-Leuze).”

Sideline

Ambitious Ales has a new feature in their taproom that you may not have noticed, a Lukr side pull faucet.

Like so…

Here are the details from the Bixby Knolls brewery: “What is it and what does it do you may ask? This is a faucet designed specially to pour Czech style beers to give the beer tender full control over the flow rate and foam to promote next level texture and aromatics of the lager being poured.”

First up was the 12° Czech Style Pilsner, 6FT Nachos in the “Hladinka style, meaning smooth pour.”  Next will be the Bohemian Spaceman Czech Dark Lager with more to come.
