Mike,

We’re still looking at July 1st for an opening date. I’m slated to start the brewery install in the beginning of May. Getting excited!

I shoot for once a year with that style. It’s a bear though. High gravity + wheat = loooong runoffs. And sometimes bad efficiencies! I once had to sell it as a Dunkelweizen because the gravity was too low and I couldn’t call it a W-Bock in good concience. That was one big Dunkelweizen!

Chris,

I enjoyed reading the letter from Tom and his attempts at the weizenbock. Aventinus is one of the world’s great beers. I’m Chris Goddard’s Bro-in-law and have met you several times. We’re all sitting here in in South Jersey with bated breath waiting for the Iron Hill in Maple Shade to open. How much longer will our wait be? Take care.

Yum. I just had an Aventinus tonight (Devil’s Den) and it is still by far one of my favorite beers ever.

How often do you do a weizenbock. I so rarely see local interpretations. Sounds like yours was a winner if it inspired a clone from across the country!

(Someday I hope to do something along the lines of your ‘Heywood’… Have to finish reading ‘Wild Brews’ first though!)
