EFG August 2006

A kit from Listerman Brewery Supply, first hoppy
beer I've made. Was in Lawrence, KS brewpub
(Free State Brewery) last fall when I tasted their
hop harvest brew (Harvest Ale) and decided to add
a hoppy beer to my list (brew mostly malty/sweet
beers).

I've lived in Lawrence in the past, but
last fall got to try some of their fall seasonal
beers for the first time and chatted to the brewer
a couple evenings so it was a great time. Highly
recommend a trip there if ever in the Kansas City/
Lawrence/Topeka area.
