Atta’Boy” To everyone who stepped up and helped cover shift when folks called out. Unfortunately, we have had a lot of sickness this winter. We really appreciate it when someone comes in, stays late or picks up the load when we are short. Thank You!
We had a good meeting with Bob the Builder on Thursday and the new Draft Beer Cooler is getting closer. Building should start by the end of March. The new cooler will give us 8 new draft lines for craft beers. Andy is working on the new “Drink” table tents. They look really nice and these new tents will make it a lot easier to change beer, wine and liquor selections.
We are looking forward to this month’s Beer School on Feb 28th. This month’s school is a collaboration with Central Street Farmhouse and Pine State. The theme this month is “Home Brewing” and will feature beer making kits from CSF along with food pairings and a beer selection similar to the beer kit’s finished product

This weeks feature : Einbecker Brauherren Premium Pils The beer trade was very meaningful for the city of Einbeck in the 14th century. Each full-fledged citizen of Einbeck had the right to brew beer, and there were over 700 brewers in the city. The city council purchased the excess beer and took care of marketing the beer for Germany and abroad- from Amsterdam in the west and Tallinn in the east. By 1616 there were 742 citizen brew houses in Einbeck. In 1851 in the Einbecker Brewery the first beer was filled in bottles and the original design of the bottle has not changed. Today a private group of investors under the leadership of the Ender & Partner Vermogensverwaltung control the Einbecker Brewery
Review: The web site Beeradvocate gave Einbecker Pils a “B” rating ABV 4.90%. The apperance is a golden yellow with a crisp clear and light white heah. It has a faint hop and slightly malty and breadie smell. The taste is very nice for the style. A good lagery graininess and crispness takes center stage. There is a noticeable hop bitterness presence, although if wouldn’t be called strong. A very slight floral and spicy flavor but it’s quite light and only in the finish. Overall a good pilsner, highly drinkable and a good representation of the style.
BEER HISTORY: The oldest available receipt for the sale of Einbecker beer to the city of Celle is dated April 28, 1378
BEER QUOTE: “The best beer known to man is called Einbecker Beer.”
