Goldfinger Dunkel on side pull.

Sunday, we're letting the Štamgast pour their own Lukr side pull to mark our secret 7th anniversary. mailchi.mp/beermiscuous... We got this idea from Cohesion Brewing, and it's the third year running it.

I like a lot about cask service, but one of my favorite things is seeing the marked history across these casks, some that have probably 40 years of service. This was once used at Flossmoor Station.

GABF 2025 - 8,315 beers judged. The top five most populous categories account for 13.7% of beers judged. Hazy IPA, 301 entries (3.6%) West Coast IPA, 300 (3.6%) Dortmunder or German-Style Oktoberfest, 186 (2.2%) German-Style Pilsener, 184 (2.2%) Hoppy Lager, 171 (2.1%)

We've preorded Sakiškių Baked Festbier and Sakiškių Lithuanian Pils via Lime Ventures, destined for our Lukr side pulls, along with a few others from Sakiškės in package. Hoping they continue to push a little more here! The Keptinis mashed and decocted Pils was great on side pull last year.

Baked beer? Lars has the story www.beerandbrewing.com/style-school...

What is REALLY stopping me from pulling Guiness Draught through the beer engine?

Nite N' Gale has an auction ending now (the rusty one door merchandiser cooler went for $31) and the image photos are atrociously blurry. Meanwhile the Atlas Brew Works auction has individual lots presented with a luscious white backdrop.

Ice chilled beer lines and Matsuo-style beer service

All this Sunday June 27, we're running ice chilled beer lines on a very special edition of Japanese style beer service. What does that mean?

Beware. the Corn Sweat approaches.

[Business Calendar for July] This is Beermiscuous! We will do our best to pour delicious beer for everyone, so please check out our business calendar for Japanese-style pour service. ・Sun July 27 we will feature a special pour festival with ice chilled beer lines.

Beware. the Corn Sweat approaches.

Check out this cool one faucet tower setup. It reminds me of a couple different Japanese shops, pouring from the side is especially present on the Bier Reise '98 chilled servers (home of the Matsuo Pour Twice)

Kick Push Prost is a Marzen style Octoberfest by Mikerphone. Available this week from AJ Maka Distro.

Our newsletter! Sign up for more. We always spend a little too much time, but it's easy to get carried away talking about beer. There's never enough content, really.

I love how a lot of Zahm & Nagel stuff has all these gauges and pressure and valves but then the next step is just "shake down the whole apparatus" because it owes you not money, but data. 2:56 for the initial shakedown.

Just give me some admin access to clean up your inventory classification system. Lot more online ordering portals for distributors these days, and they are always a mess to browse. Glunz, Lakeshore, and CBS have a lot of minor classification errors. Let me take care of most of it for you.

It's not very silly and it's a very tasty pour. Bier Reise '98 / Matsuo style Pour Twice. Orion, The Draft, ice chilled. Micro Matic Swing Lever Music: 海風に揺れて by Chill City Pop

Having never seen Orion /The Draft/ in keg format, it was at Glunz inventory for the first time I've seen, and here it is on Sharp pour.

One of my top favorite things is talking about how beer is and can be poured. Evan's 2018 GBH article is a permanent bookmark, one of my first English reads regarding Czech pour service.

Why do I bother printing anything. This took 20 minutes.

The silly Japanese style business calendar for May! Rice probably has only a handful left. The CMB might have to be replaced by the Debitap, with the Lukr Freedom Baroko getting back on next to it. Haven't been able to settle on what to serve Hopewell Sharp from. Maybe sneak a Maibock on!

I have a lot of Japanese style beer service content in prepping for next week's event at Beermiscuous Lakeview.

Saturday May 3, 6pm, we're down at Beermiscuous Lakeview for a special Japanese-style beer service event serving Hopewell Sharp on Swing Lever, with ice chilled glasses and full complement of specialty pours. Sharp Pour is the default (they named their Japanese lager after the pour.)

Beer Stats for 2024

Art History Gravitáce, Světlý Ležák 12° on Lukr side pull. Smooth Pour.

4 months ago I broke a lug off a PET sixtel so it's pretty much impossible for it to couple. I had a dream that there was some kind of special coupler adapter that allowed a hook up. I don't think it exists.

Ten Ninety's JVNW 15 bbl brewhouse sold for $1525 (+Rig Fee $2500, 9.75% tax, 18% Buyers premium) 30 bbl ferm tanks hovering around $2800 (rig 1890) 15 bbl ferm tanks ~1000 (rig 1890) Centrifuge for $20750 (rig 790) one Firkin and one Gravity Fass $85 (20 rig)

i have no clue where I got this formula years ago, but to find the fluid ounces per foot in beer line, =CONVERT((PI()*((D/2)*(D/2)))*12,"in^3","oz") where D is the inner diameter of the beer line. 6.3mm ID beer line (1/4") is .326, close to the often quoted 1/3 oz.

Bosaki's Brewery listed for sale at $200k. 3 bbl brewhouse. Owners noted as retiring. www.bizbuysell.com/business-opp...

Alutinio Maratonas 2014 September 20 3"x5" Always loved the running guy on this flyer.

Did a Dark Mild feature last couple weeks. The classic Dark Pub Ale was on Lukr, Cask, and in three cans. I forgot to feature one of the cans we had in stock on the little tally sheet we had going! It was the packaged version of Art History's Dark Mild.

Can confirm it was received, and it is a very cute keg

Our stretch of Washington Ave is being resurfaced with a schedule of April 21-June 18, which includes the parking spaces our seasonal beer garden occupies though a permit.

Glunz has 20L kegs of Orion "The Draft" in the warehouse. Draft of "The Draft" Providing it comes in tomorrow, we'll put it on Japanese style service at the next opportunity.

mailchi.mp/beermiscuous... Newsletter is out! Orval Day, Hop Butcher 10th/12th anniversary, Pub Ales, and written forever.

Today's our last day for Asahi Super Dry on the CMBecker V20 creamer faucet. While the distro still has the rare import keg from Japan, we're ordering one more 19L to rotate onto the Lukr side pull for Czech service. Swing Lever (beer hall) CMB V20S (common faucet) Lukr (Pilsner Urquell influence)

I measured. If you want to split the G to the top of the spur in the "new" harp embossed branded glass, you need to drink about 135ml (4.57 US oz). This assumes the bottom of the foam cap has settled to the top of the harp, about 510ml (17.25 US oz) liquid and 380ml (12.85 US oz) remaining.

What's happening at that Roaring Table over there?
