We’ve been working to build up our kegging supplies for some time, and with the addition of refill swaps we now carry all kegging supply needs. A quick list:

Regulators, secondary regulators, shanks, faucets, disconnects, kegs (both in ball lock and pin lock), commercial taps, cast aluminum gas manifolds, shut-off valves, ice jackets for kegs, portable dispense options, temperature…

The weather outside was perfect this past Tuesday for Eli Cannon's Taproom owner Phil Ouellette and head manager Carrie Carella to present Matthew Pugliese (Oddfellows Executive Director) with a $500 donation that was raised through last…

Not to brag or anything, but I’m a genius.  And here is the liquid expression of said genius.  A moderate-high strength IPA using some unconventional hops in an attempt to harness the true power of the lupulin gods.  For this recipe I’ve chosen 5 hops: Yakima Magnum (aa 13.1%), Palisade (7.8%), Aurora (7.5%), US Sorachi (11.6%), and Ahtanum (4.5%).

I wanted something different for this brew.  Something other than the conventional pungent grapefruit of Columbus, the floral citrus of…

I apologize for the long delay since the last post — life has been pretty crazy due to our move to Stamford and due to the fact that things have reached a fever pitch with the brewery. So, why not a few quick updates on both? Here you go:



    * Most importantly of course, we have changed our Facebook status to show that we are now in Stamford.

    * We set up a Stamford phone number for the brewery on Skype:  203-274-8788…

Spalt, Saaz, Tet, even Kent… the usual suspects all work. Keep it light, keep it simple. The key, like any Belgian style, is to let the yeast shine!

While I could offer traditional recipes…

      This past Wednesday, August 3rd, as part of their epic "Beer God's Week", Eli Cannon's Tap Room held the "Are You Frickin' Kidding Me?!" cask beer event. Cask beer is beer that has been aged and stored in wooden casks and so is unfiltered and unpasteurized. It is also thought by many beer snobs to be the "real" way to drink beer: in its purest form. There were four casks tapped: Thomas Hooker Hop Meadow IPA; New England Brewery Citra Dry-Hopped Sea Hag IPA (a…
