Lemon Wheat

The Lemon Wheat we brewed on 19 July has been racked from primary to secondary fermentation. It will not sit in the secondary fermenters for the next two weeks before bottling. After bottle conditioning, it should be ready for sampling Labor Day Weekend.

Peach Pale Ale

The Peach Pale Ale is all in bottles now and carbonating up for the next 2-3 weeks. We did a little sampling and there's a lot of potential in those bottles. Nice sweet peach aroma, just enough peach taste. We're very excited to be able to sample these late this month.

Special Guest at 8th Street Bottling

It was a very special evening at the 8th Street Beer Company tonight. For our bottling tonight we were joined tonight by Master Bottler Joelle. Joelle comes from a long line of Master Bottlers in England and travelled all the way to Atlanta to impart her family's generations upon generations of bottling knowledge to the 8th Street Beer Company.

See below as Joelle demonstrates the proper way to hand-bottle beer. Notice the leverage she's utilizing to apply the proper downforce? Thanks for the instruction Joelle!

Bottling tonight!

Tonight we'll be bottling two to three batches at the 8th Street Beer Company. If you'd like to join us, let us know.
