Cockhammer Ale - Pittsburgh's Finest

Unable to decide on a name for my first original creation, an American Amber, I decided to name it post-humulously. Myself and assistant brewmaster Farmer Jim had formulated it specifically for our trip to Pittsburgh for a guy's weekend. We packed the kegs and headed for PA. After an afternoon in city traffic we stopped at the Church Brewery and had a Strong Ale. Not bad, but not ours!

After a jaunt at the Penn Brewery for German food and some dark ale we headed to the house for drunk-ass poker. We slayed the first keg like Beowolf on the Grendel...

Keg # 2 was taken out in similar fashion while boating Saturday afternoon. It got rave reviews. Everyone wanted us to bring more, and were willing to pay. Perhaps next time. I've got my own favs to brew!
