Middle of June is coming on fast! Slow down already.
Blasty Pride is on tap. A raspberry wit with a hint of chipotle, Pride is a summery refresher brewed for Pride Month!
Rhute Fo-ah, rhubarb IPA, might make an appearance by the end of the weekend. As may MacMenigall’s Mark, a brown IPA!
Look for the introduction of michiladas here at the Blasty soon! A michilada is a summery thirst quencher made with lime, tomato juice, spices and beer. We made one with Blasty Amber and it was delicious. If you’ve had one before, you know what we’re talking about.
14 of our beers and one cider from North Country, red and white wines, hard kombucha, lots of sodas and seltzers, means we’ve got a bit of everything!
Ground anchors are done! Next Monday the boom lift arrives and the last leg of the process, the running of wires, can commence. The hops continue to show no concern for the lack of trellis. Pretty soon though they will start tangling themselves with the weeds and grasses at the edge of the rows. Fingers crossed the whole thing will wrap up by the middle of next week. Check that project off the list!
We’ve planted Cascade, Magnum, Chinook, Fuggle, Hallertaur Mittelfruh, Vista, Comet, Sorachi Ace, Crystal, Galena, Alpharoma and Bitter Gold varieties.
Jed has got fresh-picked salad mix, radishes and a bunch of other farm produce available in the farm stand. Make sure to stop in when you visit to see what Crook and Scythe Farm has on offer.
The streetsweeper brush, which for all the world looks like an ET’s idea of a Christmas tree, is getting daily use by very appreciative cows. Another brush will be mounted horizontally for the pigs. They are gonna love it!
The sides of porch are rolled up! It must be summer!!
Thanks for reading and we look forward to seeing you!
