Just so you know, we added cherries to our current barrel of Cherry Dubbel today…start the countdown to the next batch. This is the beer that won a Silver Medal at last year’s (2008) Great American Beer Festival and we are making another batch of it again right now. People have offered kidneys for this stuff…and thought I’m not into the organ trade I totally understand. It rocks. Here’s a shot Shawn Ferraro gettin’ some sweet cherry into the barrel. He came in to help us brew some American Brown Ale and got to ‘touch the hem’. I don’t think he realized what a big deal it was unil about half of our staff came running into the brewery to see what he was doing to ‘THE BARREL’ (everyone knows where we keep the Cherry Dubbel).

If you can’t wait until the fall for a taste of this sweet, sweet love get yourself on over to Iron Hill West Chester this coming Saturday for the Belgium comes to West Chester event. It’ll be on tap. Now I’m not sure when Chris will be serving the keg. I’ll post the schedule whenever I can lay my hands on it.  The Event starts at 1:00pm and there is a bus full (literally) of beer holligans coming from Philadelphia to clean out the list of killer beers the WC guys will have on tap. I’ll be there on Saturday so stop on by.
