What's Brewing?

This weekend Mark Vigneaux brewed his new 90 Minute Northern Brown. His overnight mash went extremely well, which cut down his brewing time.  

This is Matt Steinburg's brown recipe and it was hopped with Mark's Dogfish Head 90 clone hop schedule. This should be an extremely interesting beer, as Mark used 13 1/3 oz additions.

Have you recently reviewed Beer Advocate's list of the Top 250 Beers in the U.S.? Surprisingly, Heady Topper has dropped to the fifth spot, while Tree House Brewing Company's Good Morning has taken first place. Beer Advocate also listed its picks for the best beers by state. The best beers in New England are (mental drum roll, followed by a long pause):
  • Massachusetts
  • Vermont
  • New Hampshire
  • Rhode Island
  • Maine
  • Connecticut

These ratings were issued at the perfect time for F.O.A.M. to start planning its annual pub crawl.  Coincidence?  Hmm. . .
