One of the biggest events at UH in the Spring, Frontier Fiesta, is fast approaching. I brought a few kegs of homebrew a few years back that everyone LOVED. Which is great, but now every Fiesta I get requests for homebrew from everyone. Every year I say I’ll brew some next year… well, maybe this year I live up to it. So… what to brew?
Fiesta is March 25-27. I’ll probably only bring homebrew out on Saturday, 3/27, so that gives me approximately 6 weeks as of this Saturday to get something brewed, fermented, aged and carbonated.
So, here are some options:
- Wheat beer – I can do a traditional hefe or a Blue Moon style wheat.
- Amber Ale – Simple and easy
- Chili Beer – Would go GREAT with the BBQ… not sure what base beer would be, though
- Scottish Ale – Easy to drink
- Pale Ale – A nice classic, although not sure how the hops will go over
- IPA – See above
- ESB - A nice style, although not everyone appreciates a British beer
So those are a few options. I think I’ll definitely do a wheat, just because they are crowd pleasers.
I’ll update as soon as I decide. In the meantime, feel free to offer suggestions via comments.
Cheers!
