De Full Monte

Three and a half years in the planning.  Six month of brewing experimentation.  Two weeks in the carboy.  All in preparation for your drinking pleasure.  I present - De Full Monte.

OK.  Well, very little planning actually went into this American Wheat.  In fact the decision to add the lemon rind wasn't made till the second brew was consumer by the brewers.  And it's our first wheat, so I can't say we really experimented much.  I can say that it spent two weeks in the carboy.  So yeah, drink your damn beer.

This is the last beer we'll be brewing at this location.  Holmestarr Brewing Coop has done well, and will be moving on up (the hill) to a new brewery.  So this one is in honor of Del Monte.  Made with lemons from the back yard, and coriander grown by the Coop on site.  A pound of Belgian candy sugars got in there somehow... maybe representing the sweet goodbyes to our home of the last few years.

This really is De Full Monte.  Full of Del Monte, and hopefully enough alcohol to make you take your clothes off and go streaking.  Don't worry, we're right behind you.
