The Second Tasting - Flagstaff Honey Amber
Fellow Yardsailors - By all accounts the second tasting was a raging success. Everyone liked, no I should in all modesty correct myself, loved the Flagstaff Honey Amber. Daddy Yard Sale believes we need to create our own version and sell it at our future Yard Sale Brewery Bar and Grill.
The taste: sweet, but not too sweet, smooth, complex maltiness with a hint of caramel and honey - OK, that's all the beer/wine tasting critic writing I'm allowing - it was a big hit and 44 bottles of it lasted only a couple hours and several people said they would buy the beer from us if that was possible...
On to our next batch, right now we've got a partial mash honey wheat, but I'm thinking a visit to What Ale's Ya may be in order to get a different mix and leave the honey beer theme for at least the next brew.
In my party hosting fashion, I didn't take any pictures, I'll have to ask Daddy and Mommy Yard Sale to post the ones they took. But, I will post the label design (it took the better part of an hour to create). A couple people told me that their friends, who are graphic artists or designers, could improve on the design. Since I'm no artist or graphic designer, I'm sure that's the case and would welcome any improvements that we could use for the next label.

By the way, the Great American Beer Festival is coming up in October. Check out http://www.beertown.com/events/gabf/index.htm, I think Brewmeister and Daddy Yard Sale may need to make a pilgrimage to Colorado for this...
