Mightybrew 2011 is Ready!

The holidays are just around the corner and at Mightybytes that can mean just one thing: Mightybrew!

Yes, it’s been a holiday tradition since 2008 that we brew beer to share in the spirit of the season with friends, family, and co-workers. This holiday season was no exception and we brewed two pale ales: one west coast-style and one India-style.

IPAddress

This beer not only tastes good but helps fight cancer too. A portion of the proceeds from the Brewers Best kit we used to make the India-style pale ale goes toward Pints for Prostates, a grassroots organization that raises prostate cancer awareness among men at beer festivals, through social networking and pro bono advertising. The PSA IPA kit was released to coincide with Prostate Cancer Awareness month.

To align with our signature blend of geek humor, we named this one IPAddress. Not as good as Ale Type = Pale but a might better than Blogger Lager (though that rolls off the tongue nicely).

Mighty Theo Brew

The day after our team returned from Climate Ride California, our buddy Theo—who was in town for the Chicago marathon—stopped by to share his insights on brewing the perfect west coast-style pale ale. Then we closed up shop and spent the afternoon doing just that. The result was Mighty Theo Brew, a tasty pale ale that definitely packs a hoppy west coast punch.

Brew for You?

Next step is of course donning our holiday best and making those deliveries to friends, family, and clients. We have less beer this year than in previous years, due to a third beer taking longer than expected to reach its prime. So stay tuned! A post-holiday party pack could show up on your doorstep.
