THIS MONTH AT CLARKEHEAD:

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Who said that? Because it makes no sense at all to me. Things are definitely changing here this month, and very little will be the same as they've been.

My wife and I are excited to announce that we are moving into our new home in Irvine this month. Irvine is roughly 25 miles South of where we've been located. We're very happy to move on and make some changes in our lives. The journey has been hard and arduous, but well worth it - to say the least.

This, of course, means that the brewery will be moving. Brewing at our current facility has been suspended and will resume at our new location sometime in September. The move to Irvine also brings forth a challenge, as some of my procedures and practices will have to be altered to accomodate the area where we'll be brewing. As well, our water profile will also more than likely change slightly, even though our filtration system and treatments will remain the same.

All in all, it's an exciting time for us and I look forward to bringing life to the new Clarkehead Brewery, and hopefully better beer in the future, which is looking awfully bright at the moment.

Regards,

Phil

Clarkehead Brewery is a private homebrewing enterprise. It's sole purpose is to provide others with information pertaining to homebrewing, teach others how to brew their own beer at home, and share the beer we make. By no means do we sell, or intend to sell, any of the alcoholic beverages brewed on premises. We are a non-profit brewery. Got any questions? Contact us.

	AUGUST 2008 Hosergåården It's fitting that the last beer brewed at our original Clarkehead Brewery facility be Hosergåården, our Belgian Summer Ale. It has epitomized our line-up of beers since we started here in early Spring of 2003. And it's got the word "garden" in it, which we'll no longer have (but happy to live without). While this beer may not taste a thing like the original Hoegaarden, you'll still love this refreshing white ale. Recalling the age before hops were used and spices were added to give bitterness to beer, this brew has a really spicy aroma with strong coriander notes. You'll taste orange and coriander throughout, followed by a light, dry finish. Much lower in alcohol than most Clarkehead brews, Hosergåården will not leave you feeling like a hoser in my garden, because I won't have one of those for long. And as our good friend Oren says "Live like there's no tomorrow. Play like . . . there's work tomorr . . . eh, or something." As our days at the current location wind down, we encourage you to stop and enjoy a glass of the beer that sums up our entire experience here. OG: 13.5º plato ABV: 5.2%

	Listen to My Life as a Foodie My passion for food, food culture, and cooking has led me to start a new podcast of my own. Join me every few weeks for a new adventure in cooking, eating, and drinking. Yes, there's still lots of beer talk, but it's always about food. Listen now.

	Should I Brew That? Always wanted to homebrew but could never take that first step? Too intimidated by other homebrewers to ask those “stupid” questions? If you answered yes to these questions, visit this new site from Sick Puppy of Should I Drink That? Read his adventures as he ventures back into homebrewing after a 7-year layoff. Every batch he brews is carefully documented, and the site is updated quite regularly.
