While those other taps are specific to a single beer, this tap was their "house" tap and with the ability to insert labels, could be used for any beer. A pelican sits on top of a barnacle-encrusted pier; on the front of the pier is a square signage area that is open at the top, allowing labels to slide into place. A coil of rope is under the label area, and below that is an oval sign with sculpted letters that bear the initials of the brewery, OAW. The details are excellent, as is the paint job, especially on the backside of the pier where multiple colors have been blended beautifully to obtain a real weathered look. I'm happy to have a label for this, as most of these appearing on the secondary market did not include one. There is one available on the secondary market (at the time of this writing), but prior to that you have to go back to 2021 to find one. The price range of the last few sold (again at the time of this writing) has been between $90-$100.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi98W6icClDDj23YptEQVNH-GhDsPhUw5-C6ixsu-wozmt5wh7wwpOw180ad0cXl4Ljcdy8FPUhOxqecwPFBtRfGblkn3jin94hOmMnK4iCbIjaxh8mVBpBFqQeQecpjvkYto2rr-948Oh6AVkSWk_U35rnT7lCRG28MDKnU224to0Y3511iOSp-qN-GA-u/s1799/20240304_184537%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Fortunately, friend of the Museum Manny V. was able to hook me up with a Cobra tap almost immediately. I think this is one of my favorite taps...the detail and colors are incredible! The fully hooded cobra snake holds a sign in its mouth with the name of the brewery on it. The lower portion of the tap has the body of the snake coiling around a glass of beer, which has multiple streams of foam running down the side of the glass. In front of the snake coils and the glass of beer is a round oval sign area where a label can be applied. Despite the tap being used for all of their beers, labels were extremely hard to find for these taps...almost every Cobra tap I've ever seen didn't have one. I heard from one source that there were no labels and that the brewery just wrote the name of the beer on the signage area. I decided to create my own label for their Dawn of the Dank beer and I think it turned out pretty well. I've seen about a dozen of these Cobra taps hit the secondary market over the years, with the price swinging between $50-$200. However, aside from one seen in a group auction last year, you have to go back to 2021 to find the last one. It remains to be seen if scarcity will drive the price of this tap up higher in the future.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpzXAz50OhsKbcf52MCjmhX2H0axubBEXdufERNkMaskh8TrR0JTCx00NwyAlXw7Hd1MB7JjrBljWMpog0QedefEcPRXax8XRbIBvHF4CjavAlGRxrUdYmnwrtveuidypdKcY-LErOrcbWtF8qLMhIJdcMQ2y_057P6j6uT9IBgHqJlsnSEq_9ZdmDUFG4/s1799/20240216_122818%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpzXAz50OhsKbcf52MCjmhX2H0axubBEXdufERNkMaskh8TrR0JTCx00NwyAlXw7Hd1MB7JjrBljWMpog0QedefEcPRXax8XRbIBvHF4CjavAlGRxrUdYmnwrtveuidypdKcY-LErOrcbWtF8qLMhIJdcMQ2y_057P6j6uT9IBgHqJlsnSEq_9ZdmDUFG4/s320/20240216_122818%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cobra Brewing Company was founded in 2013 in Lewisville, Texas by Bill Shaw, his son-in-law Neil MacCuish, and their wives Sharon Shaw and Danielle MacCuish. Bill had owned a karate studio in New York, but he and Sharon relocated to Texas. He started brewing with a home brewing kit and continued with that for years, then when Neil and Danielle relocated from New York to be closer to Bill and Sharon, they all discussed opening a micro-brewery. Bill and Neil started brewing on a 5 gal system in the back yard of Bill's house. Neil started creating the recipes that would be used for production. They moved up to a bigger system, purchasing a 20 gal system, while looking for places to put the brewery. They decided on a section of town in Lewisville called Old Town, purchasing and moving into a 4200 square foot metal hanger that they signed a lease for. They used converted dairy tanks for their 5bbl system, and after 5 months of prepping, including adding a 10bbl kettle, they were ready to open. Neil handled the brewing, Bill took care of sales, Sharon oversaw administration, and Danielle was in charge of marketing and events. They chose the name Cobra from Bill's former karate studio, which had a cobra as its logo.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyF88jhNMpVsOkovuHTgjsuomJ-erY4mFBo4YwJ6BuyhVetDedtpXKZdlAeqsygl6PSHCpAuRH0wCptV-fDPCRLJQkCwVQQAl9RQufRIDeItD_F7vRtY8L3nu2cqdnW4lQ7321xaDSO5ssbOf2sB5G0vlv3tyXh4KRBJGBDHY4yakT3uDkFPYm183aHzTa/s1799/20240216_122830%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyF88jhNMpVsOkovuHTgjsuomJ-erY4mFBo4YwJ6BuyhVetDedtpXKZdlAeqsygl6PSHCpAuRH0wCptV-fDPCRLJQkCwVQQAl9RQufRIDeItD_F7vRtY8L3nu2cqdnW4lQ7321xaDSO5ssbOf2sB5G0vlv3tyXh4KRBJGBDHY4yakT3uDkFPYm183aHzTa/s320/20240216_122830%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The brewery opened with 6 beers on tap: 2 year round offerings, 2 seasonals, and 2 brewery exclusives. Inside they featured a small bar, pool tables, pinball machines, darts, and cornhole, while outside was a huge space for table setups and food truck parking, along with a spot wired for bands to plug in their gear. Eventually the number of beers on tap grew from 6 to 12, and live music became a staple of the brewery. Over time, brews with a bit more bite (pun intended) became Cobra's signature, with higher ABV options like Dawn of the Dank Double IPA, Klurichaun (barleywine) and The Kitchen Sink (imperial stout) being some of the brewery's most sought-after offerings. In 2017 the brewery began canning its beers. However, by late 2017 Neil had left the business, forcing the brewery to find a new head brewer. At the same time, they rebranded as Old Town Brewhouse, and the Cobra name, brand, and beers were all retired. New beers were created and were named after classic rock songs, while their new slogan was "craft beer that rocks". Old Town Brewhouse continued on for 2 more years, but they finally closed in late 2019.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR9RSvnUQGYBM7thchHjXJf0zfv3wVCuVR1TUs37nOB0xUZGDie4VEHrN_suSQHKKzPpI1KhTMPBjjE41uHJpZ7Ye0rhjY5y0d8EbfK81Q0RldwBGbn4O3SLdsgKhCQ5-5mULNPZSmaj7NtjsR_7ZdgZeDRhpPHQtSVJWRJrukrKcXhnwyNU98aCivbGOn/s1799/20240216_122841%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR9RSvnUQGYBM7thchHjXJf0zfv3wVCuVR1TUs37nOB0xUZGDie4VEHrN_suSQHKKzPpI1KhTMPBjjE41uHJpZ7Ye0rhjY5y0d8EbfK81Q0RldwBGbn4O3SLdsgKhCQ5-5mULNPZSmaj7NtjsR_7ZdgZeDRhpPHQtSVJWRJrukrKcXhnwyNU98aCivbGOn/s320/20240216_122841%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Note: for a brewery that was around for 4 years in a highly populated area (the north edge of Dallas), I can find very little information on the brewery.

True to the East Coast style, it had a hop character that was prominent but not too aggressive on the palate. Made with Citra hops supplemented with 8 other hop varieties, this ale showed grapefruit peel and tropical fruit aromas and flavors. The ABV was a staggering 11.7 percent, yet it was remarkably well hidden. It was a delicious IPA that was dangerously easy to drink. Recommended food pairings were barbecued brisket and ribs, Mexican food, or burgers and fries.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6a4wO05lTKevuP90mLwI_VKq2ISWOHi0vKiqmAZrHHt-kV4D8vOiQs47_Y-JalAgHpX6sCvC0DRb2wEwoi9bBqnpllHPldxelkud5IWUD9mexqXVpvEvG5Vaq3RuosOMnYbYX3Z7ZXHL3bgYVAsoA0GA0AD5p-8r6_Erx1mhi2zfNQTCc-YgxRywIN-zl/s1799/20240216_122851%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Here is the other "losing tap" in that contest: Stone Face Brown. Demon's Hop Yard was chosen over Stone Face and Leaf Peeper Pils. Using the same process as Leaf Peeper Pils, XG-ad did the designs for the Stone Face tap on computer, and then Zimo hand carved the mold, and created and painted it. At first I thought there was an Easter Island type vibe going on, but after looking at photos of the Stone Face landmark in New Hampshire and the side profile of this tap, it's a dead ringer! Since Stone Face was not picked in the contest, neither the beer nor its tap were ever put into production, making this tap very hard to find. Stone Face is the last out of 3 of a group of promotional taps that I'm profiling, and it's so scarce that this is only the second one I've ever seen - the other was part of a group of 3 promo taps that sold for $500 back in 2019.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWOur6-ckf9kEE_3b17BSH23vVBeFud1V-Ld8UjcI1iMRViQzvRPMCfYUQc0GL8cb3ZvUGQ-fl61OyT4q3qhDjr4T-fTIlD5F2EiiN_mzsZ9NSvYUWbhh36z6Gcinb2I_UCHytpt1k4ZeK2SWwrWm38Pod6NdRSFD0VWiAPEec3pMXG0OIg3Kuk2VGB_K/s1799/20240204_213433%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWOur6-ckf9kEE_3b17BSH23vVBeFud1V-Ld8UjcI1iMRViQzvRPMCfYUQc0GL8cb3ZvUGQ-fl61OyT4q3qhDjr4T-fTIlD5F2EiiN_mzsZ9NSvYUWbhh36z6Gcinb2I_UCHytpt1k4ZeK2SWwrWm38Pod6NdRSFD0VWiAPEec3pMXG0OIg3Kuk2VGB_K/s320/20240204_213433%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Stone Face, also referred to as the "Old Man of the Mountain" and "The Profile", was a series of five granite cliff ledges on Cannon Mountain in Franconia, New Hampshire, that appeared to be the jagged profile of a human face when viewed from the north. The rock formation, 1,200 feet (370 m) above Profile Lake, was 40 feet (12 m) tall and 25 feet (7.6 m) wide, and was named "Stone Face" by the Abenaki and was a symbol within their culture. It was also a symbol to the Mohawk people, and became a landmark and a cultural icon for the state of New Hampshire. The formation collapsed on May 3, 2003. A nonprofit legacy fund created a memorial plaza, featuring seven steel "profilers" that recreate the Old Man's image.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1p4htLXr6v0DBhWsEaYTpnFOMOwa3Kv32CzhfOK07sLOp8vhJundyvOaYa60KnCdDJ26GOweORA8-3GptTdwps_Os8VLmSZ7DRxjn6s21fKuLfPV-x6-9UzAibrHrt805-4N5v63TXoVRgB5CQdMA_KU2OtqzBGqtAweeQDc42ExhEp6pSUK1CP0H6pR/s1200/stone%20face.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1200" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1p4htLXr6v0DBhWsEaYTpnFOMOwa3Kv32CzhfOK07sLOp8vhJundyvOaYa60KnCdDJ26GOweORA8-3GptTdwps_Os8VLmSZ7DRxjn6s21fKuLfPV-x6-9UzAibrHrt805-4N5v63TXoVRgB5CQdMA_KU2OtqzBGqtAweeQDc42ExhEp6pSUK1CP0H6pR/s320/stone%20face.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">For more about Anheuser-Busch, see </span><a href="https://beertaps.blogspot.com/2012/02/tap-handle-41-budweiser-frog-bottle.html" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank"><b>this post</b></a><span style="text-align: left;">.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgFlbJMqEhTvQ9S1pZmlA5dmq_dmJ2VCN1fLRVCTD2i9OaDxgbldq74ZhRs_iao9bIEPTa6rWlQDY7y6r2-c-gW4kNDexRdzMaqbPYSpiFsof3krholXUx4uv9klHxHUqk9kZwnL_g8aG0_r6WoGdkyEtoguQLIoPGykQBozX4il6qjPif7lO31UxbAvGv/s1799/20240204_213438%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgFlbJMqEhTvQ9S1pZmlA5dmq_dmJ2VCN1fLRVCTD2i9OaDxgbldq74ZhRs_iao9bIEPTa6rWlQDY7y6r2-c-gW4kNDexRdzMaqbPYSpiFsof3krholXUx4uv9klHxHUqk9kZwnL_g8aG0_r6WoGdkyEtoguQLIoPGykQBozX4il6qjPif7lO31UxbAvGv/s320/20240204_213438%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to a short blurb written for the original contest, Stone Face was brewed in the British-Colonial tradition of New England, blending Victory, Caramel and Black malts to give this "Brown" a rich, smooth, malty flavor. A true homage to the Old Man of the Mountain, Stone Face was 7.5% ABV. The beer was created and brewed in 2006 by a small team of local employees at the Merrimack, New Hampshire brewery. It is very likely that the brewery team was mindful of the Stone Face rock formation's collapse just 3 years earlier when naming this beer. (Note: there is a current brewery named Stoneface and it is also in New Hampshire; that brewery is not associated with the A-B beer mentioned here, nor is it associated with this tap handle.)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Here is another "losing tap" that is also scarce: Leaf Peeper Pils. Like the contest in Ohio, New England residents voted for their local choices online and the results showed that they picked Demon's Hop Yard over Stone Face, a brown ale, and Leaf Peeper Pils, a high-alcohol pilsner. Using the same process as Racer Snake Red, XG-ad did the designs for the Leaf Peeper tap on computer, and then Zimo hand carved the mold, and created and painted it. My favorite features are how the Peeper's eyes are sculpted to be huge as if we are seeing them through the magnifying glass; I also love the pith helmet! Since Leaf Peeper was not picked, neither the beer nor its tap were ever put into production, making this tap very hard to find. Leaf Peeper is the second out of 3 of a group of promotional taps that I'm profiling, and it's so scarce that this is only the second one I've ever seen - the other was part of a group of 3 promo taps that sold for $500 back in 2019.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUxk8Do-p62MZK0J60B4hyphenhyphenZ02rkrlPlh-E0bpyIHMgavx6aJBCjMJ_G2OplImo7IDmbr4UlfToczN8vwf6QI84j8pFbjzvnMP2HjTwjMzY3f8je1WodHVwoeF2gEO7M_J596EPKFjw5llbrYasoJJ3Ig7DYVrRo4jxsQMWrb-9sj0kJaTL9HmvJSzbVC5G/s1799/20240202_234503%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUxk8Do-p62MZK0J60B4hyphenhyphenZ02rkrlPlh-E0bpyIHMgavx6aJBCjMJ_G2OplImo7IDmbr4UlfToczN8vwf6QI84j8pFbjzvnMP2HjTwjMzY3f8je1WodHVwoeF2gEO7M_J596EPKFjw5llbrYasoJJ3Ig7DYVrRo4jxsQMWrb-9sj0kJaTL9HmvJSzbVC5G/s320/20240202_234503%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A Leaf Peeper is a person who travels to view and photograph the fall foliage in areas where leaves change colors in autumn, particularly in northern New England, Appalachia, the Pacific Northwest, and the upper Midwest, as well as the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-PBZh-BicMvN9EuIFP3CqiwE6jr650M-sQoOYtV6bQ9fDpM3WhqMzqWgBXntrUqvYkAQXYRO0TVtOLk8p2iNPl8a_uPF73HoaIIvUin_eF6QAKYS2RUPY2lGY1GmlOIYSxr60ajyyN3ySmimm8w-7G5purmIC2jHVkzdeBeE9xY6FT-cZcljrvvPOHKqH/s1799/20240202_234512%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-PBZh-BicMvN9EuIFP3CqiwE6jr650M-sQoOYtV6bQ9fDpM3WhqMzqWgBXntrUqvYkAQXYRO0TVtOLk8p2iNPl8a_uPF73HoaIIvUin_eF6QAKYS2RUPY2lGY1GmlOIYSxr60ajyyN3ySmimm8w-7G5purmIC2jHVkzdeBeE9xY6FT-cZcljrvvPOHKqH/s320/20240202_234512%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p>For more about Anheuser-Busch, see <a href="https://beertaps.blogspot.com/2012/02/tap-handle-41-budweiser-frog-bottle.html" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><b>this post</b></a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg65nNFaj0ZhtteMynBrKXbJnMQfqYv-CAy15qB-8hVQT35vcV_Z1dr20D9eA16xiRu0fHJsFGmS_BiwPhbufFwzf7r4TUKgCKv4nPEdSqUmHbc9dCQDQUNPlC1xZs8alcw_T30zoeceOoF03QNbY01j9ZwugnVhyphenhyphenhF5tF-VhxfR8ALK12Exe3gRv6k0tYj/s1799/20240202_234533%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg65nNFaj0ZhtteMynBrKXbJnMQfqYv-CAy15qB-8hVQT35vcV_Z1dr20D9eA16xiRu0fHJsFGmS_BiwPhbufFwzf7r4TUKgCKv4nPEdSqUmHbc9dCQDQUNPlC1xZs8alcw_T30zoeceOoF03QNbY01j9ZwugnVhyphenhyphenhF5tF-VhxfR8ALK12Exe3gRv6k0tYj/s320/20240202_234533%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to a short blurb written for the original contest, Leaf Peeper Pils was a deep golden-colored, high-alcohol pilsner (8% alcohol by volume), brewed using a blend of Saaz and Hallertau hops resulting in a rich flavored Imperial Pilsner. Amongst the foliage of beautiful New England woods A-B created what the "peepers" have been looking for. The beer was created and brewed in 2006 by a small team of local employees at the Merrimack, New Hampshire brewery. (Note: there are about 4-5 other beers named Leaf Peeper from breweries such as Atlantic, Paradox and Hammerton. These beers are not associated with A-B's beer, nor are they associated with this tap.)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglITutW9avPzxSbEKXzdApYYSJza6sUs2hJKtJ2o-68tqFll9rzPB3b34kMEwIi9HB-eOHuqPuYZELTjSg8zYwvyeDxfYCc_m1gOnSPCo7mtrxrlqobx7aRejRq46LLWcYOLdh9QtFwC70n7c5dEhgEbAT5dz_VWfRTdriBD-x9H7NQnFKiWLGyrD-bTWY/s1799/20240202_234542%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

It was chosen over Racer Snake Red (an all-malt American amber) and Old Eyepopper (a Dunkel brewed with caramel and chocolate malts and Bavarian hops). It's a shame that Racer Snake Red didn't win because only a few of these taps were ever made for the promotion, and it is a very cool tap. I really like how the snake wraps around the glass and its tongue is getting a taste of the foam at the top.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijHmSI0iJwnWpgvLHpwn_b_H9BXaztvDw06WxCLPe7EJ6WoQRp6V7p3h3xfjblbZCXcya2E1rEXL36P1oO40UtvcsW1gGVNiIbS4W-Jt_GnufxTP3vZ03b4jU9m43z_FKcHL7B65zpXG3KTv6BeXLiosCMsEDMeSuFGDIC3Dlcev6J03JPuKQkEe-y7fP7/s1799/20240130_233711%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijHmSI0iJwnWpgvLHpwn_b_H9BXaztvDw06WxCLPe7EJ6WoQRp6V7p3h3xfjblbZCXcya2E1rEXL36P1oO40UtvcsW1gGVNiIbS4W-Jt_GnufxTP3vZ03b4jU9m43z_FKcHL7B65zpXG3KTv6BeXLiosCMsEDMeSuFGDIC3Dlcev6J03JPuKQkEe-y7fP7/s320/20240130_233711%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I have also attached a photo of a prototype version of the tap that is unpainted. I received this prototype many years ago from the original designer (Kevin) who owned an advertising agency in St. Louis called XG-ad, which designed a lot of tap handles for Anheuser-Busch before A-B was purchased by InBev. XG-ad did the designs on computer, and then a company in St. Louis called Zimo hand carved all the molds and worked on A-B tap handles for several years, bringing to life many popular taps like Shock Top, Mule Kick, and the Bud Light boxing kangaroo. After the A-B purchase, InBev decided to go in a different direction for their marketing, and Kevin closed the XG-ad agency.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8HLAvcjfmkHG7OFxAbOh-HOovnw8nxleymyOyIDp9W5KKsGbAdE6boAQ9JEesXV7W0uscAngY4_iBT3QGcAAWsc0WJtlwcAXeHNwxJlFCjlsjH6CfEHuAk68YidziWxUy-_5IwJYaysn51juU_GcmnddfmeDS69nj3E4qtQ6bYTDq6oObknEqUOdIIgQ/s1799/20240130_205542%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8HLAvcjfmkHG7OFxAbOh-HOovnw8nxleymyOyIDp9W5KKsGbAdE6boAQ9JEesXV7W0uscAngY4_iBT3QGcAAWsc0WJtlwcAXeHNwxJlFCjlsjH6CfEHuAk68YidziWxUy-_5IwJYaysn51juU_GcmnddfmeDS69nj3E4qtQ6bYTDq6oObknEqUOdIIgQ/s320/20240130_205542%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Racer Snake Red is 1 of 3 of these promotional taps that are next to be profiled.

This is 1 of 5 taps that Rogue Brewing commissioned in the late 1990s. All 5 of the taps in this series feature a common base that resembles a barrel, with the brewery's name on it in large, red sculpted letters. At the top of the barrel, on both the front and the back, is a place to attach a label. An oversized ferrule at the bottom finishes the look and adds to an already substantial weight.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM-4Ap7CZrtcZb_Ekony_zZyG2I9mWhRHisa9ysk9c4PeMNOS1ymQC3MiA_ylt5J1UCzPcZfa0j-HAOUWm8xE-3nMGqdwPdyqaZoOqPwUjaffvagiAxqjPUP9SV2CXgKVNurNQeN20ntXy_1EcyOCZTfaw7JgVVYXTfY7yOqk4wKYjuOF0FxeC7abEMjai/s1280/20240119_153151_copy_1280x721.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="721" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM-4Ap7CZrtcZb_Ekony_zZyG2I9mWhRHisa9ysk9c4PeMNOS1ymQC3MiA_ylt5J1UCzPcZfa0j-HAOUWm8xE-3nMGqdwPdyqaZoOqPwUjaffvagiAxqjPUP9SV2CXgKVNurNQeN20ntXy_1EcyOCZTfaw7JgVVYXTfY7yOqk4wKYjuOF0FxeC7abEMjai/s320/20240119_153151_copy_1280x721.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The top pieces attach to the barrel by means of a threaded rod; the rod is glued to the ferrule at one end, extends up through the center of the barrel, and threads into an internal nut in the topper. By pushing the topper into the slot in the barrel and holding it in place, you then tighten the ferrule, which attaches both the ferrule and the topper to the barrel. This means that only the tops of the tap were unique and could be attached to any available base.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtKB8r2WIQH3DwaSaiHjrdREy7dwVpVSkTs0vfOWWgvnbEGC17KAC1SjrioE-owNx5KPu65oXSZjH0vix1pgN5S-Bv0npmeR2HuOFYkr4P3CfjKI5A82uGR0AhpsilSrdZ_5oAOqNm3VTBXToyv2yjD1oTruCY6t_tj5kJTDMeaoPqgI1jypkRVfxLdcBp/s1799/20240114_212252%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtKB8r2WIQH3DwaSaiHjrdREy7dwVpVSkTs0vfOWWgvnbEGC17KAC1SjrioE-owNx5KPu65oXSZjH0vix1pgN5S-Bv0npmeR2HuOFYkr4P3CfjKI5A82uGR0AhpsilSrdZ_5oAOqNm3VTBXToyv2yjD1oTruCY6t_tj5kJTDMeaoPqgI1jypkRVfxLdcBp/s320/20240114_212252%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to this Statue of Liberty topper that was used for Rogue's Artisan Ale, there was a "Fisherman" for their Wild Irish Rogue, a Santa Claus figure for their Santa Select, a "Shakespeare" figure for their Shakespeare Stout, and of course the iconic Dead Guy. Every figure in the series holds a mug of beer. Only the Shakespeare and Dead Guy taps continued to be made in this style by a new manufacturer in the mid-2000s, although the tops and bases became fixed and not interchangeable. The easy way to tell an interchangeable tap from not (most of the time) was that the beer mug was colored yellow; however, Shakespeare continued to use the yellow mug, so for that one you have to look for blue colored sunglasses and brown hair/beard (non-interchangeable versions had black sunglasses and black hair/beard), among other subtle differences.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSH1tXMuEmyac-tMtGzG1JvUPejYUX4cNSozJb1ylmaHVS5G6zBwr5yvITAuT7wbo32JTpgSXQ9tI7OlFAPgrGvq-3fsGTpgGJC3YOcrpOkqVVnsq2EYlW1y2mqKEDvgdnMh1BzDI8hcx6BTxdnARHN4Uy9lBL59nmt_JNT8rfd-KMjD9JsyJa9xJJMroI/s1799/20240114_212302%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSH1tXMuEmyac-tMtGzG1JvUPejYUX4cNSozJb1ylmaHVS5G6zBwr5yvITAuT7wbo32JTpgSXQ9tI7OlFAPgrGvq-3fsGTpgGJC3YOcrpOkqVVnsq2EYlW1y2mqKEDvgdnMh1BzDI8hcx6BTxdnARHN4Uy9lBL59nmt_JNT8rfd-KMjD9JsyJa9xJJMroI/s320/20240114_212302%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">These interchangeable versions of the tap sell for very high prices, regardless of the topper. One of the reasons is that many collectors were only able to get the toppers or had severely damaged bases, and to this day they are seeking bases in decent condition for their toppers. I did this exact thing myself, purchasing a Dead Guy tap with the yellow mug just so I could have the base, which I attached to my Santa topper. A dead giveaway is often a label for a different beer attached, for instance the Fisherman topper with a "Dead Guy Ale" label attached to the barrel base.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho50pgeGTcNaySkELB38CnawaaXThD7hxlc93LZNHNuT9umGfwKPITPMakFDWqyFYzn97w81L-rQaVkyDe2MQOH0f7MV6KUfi59cPhxJMOQI0SjKj4yJujFhqMSoXLwaVVa77vg2GJ2ssj_gEJUTq8rWtEpXAarBmSnLTWwyYlV-7z91iRf5UxkJbfkRty/s1799/20240114_212320%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho50pgeGTcNaySkELB38CnawaaXThD7hxlc93LZNHNuT9umGfwKPITPMakFDWqyFYzn97w81L-rQaVkyDe2MQOH0f7MV6KUfi59cPhxJMOQI0SjKj4yJujFhqMSoXLwaVVa77vg2GJ2ssj_gEJUTq8rWtEpXAarBmSnLTWwyYlV-7z91iRf5UxkJbfkRty/s320/20240114_212320%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The other reason these taps are expensive is that they simply have a very high appeal to collectors for their sculpting, styling and scarcity; in the early 2010s these were considered "grail" taps. I never felt the need to have the interchangeable version of the Dead Guy and Shakespeare versions, when I already have the non-interchangeable versions that are profiled here on the site (profile #29 and #513, respectively).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVA_wEbPGzHYc6_GEPkuc00SQlkGHcUB3612UsdwK0NTlMsxNz8kJWhqCW7akn0QHy297hRvMIyhOzb_LjmkFZ2kVkvqkfRXWA4Al1MNmhZhNk3jz8L_Dk7n6YdOZhjlh8OnTQzdrdk4xdkgrMRStHMuN71RFTa6uOVvSEoqlvpmcqLQ5VgHEirTBBGZaQ/s1799/20240114_212328%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVA_wEbPGzHYc6_GEPkuc00SQlkGHcUB3612UsdwK0NTlMsxNz8kJWhqCW7akn0QHy297hRvMIyhOzb_LjmkFZ2kVkvqkfRXWA4Al1MNmhZhNk3jz8L_Dk7n6YdOZhjlh8OnTQzdrdk4xdkgrMRStHMuN71RFTa6uOVvSEoqlvpmcqLQ5VgHEirTBBGZaQ/s320/20240114_212328%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I've seen about 15 of these Rogue Artisan Lager Statue of Liberty taps appear on the secondary market over the years that included the base, and another 4-5 that consisted of only the topper, but it's possible that some of these were the same tap changing hands. Condition can have a big impact on price, although it's usually the barrel that takes the brunt of the damage. Typically, the prices range from $150 - $400. The last one to appear at the time of this writing was almost a year ago, and sold for $330 plus shipping.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7OpDI3JMpNZYjnnk4l6VVqxHmkPMeH9dnFdLBrAzU54mcX2OOW0fG2WkKqRqzKN7AwvaMbF-uqZ6awJ8Ty4KbSzQ3y4Z_6C-wtc552oI8VeTxHnFaSitai5nHavAGzPNvGVtrZXeNYFJH1V2wwx-P2YZ0iukcK4x59osJ1XWE6Iyq-w7IgSVGABSaUSIL/s1799/20240114_212334%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7OpDI3JMpNZYjnnk4l6VVqxHmkPMeH9dnFdLBrAzU54mcX2OOW0fG2WkKqRqzKN7AwvaMbF-uqZ6awJ8Ty4KbSzQ3y4Z_6C-wtc552oI8VeTxHnFaSitai5nHavAGzPNvGVtrZXeNYFJH1V2wwx-P2YZ0iukcK4x59osJ1XWE6Iyq-w7IgSVGABSaUSIL/s320/20240114_212334%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">For more about Rogue Ales, see <a href="https://beertaps.blogspot.com/2012/01/tap-handle-29-rogue-dead-guy-ale-dead.html" target="_blank"><b>this post</b></a>. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtbyA80fHOHkDdtVilGTM4J7MVXsWNTgrdU4zX70hsJIrdrww1yzqRJ72oS8coK-h5kQ6kxjRe3Gdm9jioAAU5dflQ2W1wErIIrA30XXXcFhJZxwK3H6K585cLBWJXI-bHYZSmfg06LOk4wJGLPNCpW4knd0ebtntcUw-xmcc6BWSjhC4fWqd5CuAnzDEK/s1799/20240114_212351%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtbyA80fHOHkDdtVilGTM4J7MVXsWNTgrdU4zX70hsJIrdrww1yzqRJ72oS8coK-h5kQ6kxjRe3Gdm9jioAAU5dflQ2W1wErIIrA30XXXcFhJZxwK3H6K585cLBWJXI-bHYZSmfg06LOk4wJGLPNCpW4knd0ebtntcUw-xmcc6BWSjhC4fWqd5CuAnzDEK/s320/20240114_212351%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Rogue's Artisan Lager was a Vienna style lager, light bronze in color, medium-bodied, with a malt aroma, a slight malt sweetness and clean hop bitterness, and a silky sweet finish.

Unfortunately I was never able to obtain a label for it, so I decided to make my own. It's not perfect but looks reasonably close to the original. The tap itself is sculpted to resemble a tall granite outcropping with lots of ridges cut into it. At the top of the tap is a round yellow sign featuring the brewery's logo. Below that is the name of the brewery sculpted in red and yellow raised letters, and under that is the label area. Finally, at the bottom of the tap is a sculpt of a howling wolf. The front and back of the tap are identical, so I have reduced the number of photos taken. While over a dozen of these have appeared on the secondary market over the years, and the price was in a reasonable range of $45-$100, since the brewery closed last year these have become quite scarce, with only one appearing on the secondary market in a year and a half at the time this profile was written, which sold for $160 plus shipping.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxsBWB1hk-XhVT_HZMiaDokCG40AKw6BjDjDl4n5WsIcPazcis_KRCe1uvO1e_h_eJbO8Z8HayyBomV7Hrw56vZu8sWXNWHGTCUisEG2dCYiYiNXLS6urqculjcFszi0xHE80t2BHKBMUtWiN8XdQ41Jb1FIofHgT5vC-v_UqUvJRfGXr4oVmLCy7ZEwT-/s1799/20240114_211632%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxsBWB1hk-XhVT_HZMiaDokCG40AKw6BjDjDl4n5WsIcPazcis_KRCe1uvO1e_h_eJbO8Z8HayyBomV7Hrw56vZu8sWXNWHGTCUisEG2dCYiYiNXLS6urqculjcFszi0xHE80t2BHKBMUtWiN8XdQ41Jb1FIofHgT5vC-v_UqUvJRfGXr4oVmLCy7ZEwT-/s320/20240114_211632%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Wild Wolf Brewing Company was founded in Nellysford, Virginia in 2011 by Mary Wolf. Graduating with both a BS in Computer Science and an MBA, Mary spent 25 years working for Lexis Nexis and AOL, as well as starting and selling her own Internet commerce company. After serving as VP of New Products, Mary retired from AOL in 2001. She and her husband, Doug, had spent time off in Nellysford for many years until Doug retired from a software business, after which they decided to make Nellysford their home. Their son, Danny, an avid homebrewer, had initially went to school to be a biologist, but decided to pursue brewing instead. He went through the Master Brewers Program at Chicago’s Siebel Institute of Technology in 2008, finishing at the top of his class. When Mary joined Danny for a class about how to run a brewery, she became hooked on craft beer, and was determined to own a brewery. She asked Danny to be her brewmaster, and in 2010 they opened a small nanobrewery and home brewing supply shop in the Valley Green Shopping Center. When sales exploded faster than they could keep up, they decided to pivot away from the previous business model and open a brewpub. They called the brewery Wild Wolf after brainstorming words that included the family name.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1QLOUod1n-BL0tY2vpi_14AaOLo0FWFfsUwbmbugmsoCCyn-HjJGJHjF7zzeHk8WAPFN18fzCr7kaY67CX6fhZ3ylizD7ReJoEXOxV1uQkGhbVs1OCeiOplS76aY2OrDwEv743Emhruh6qwA2MqVneUufwv3pQsg4m5Zbp59-l10Sj4NW_jXE-JKoZ41N/s1799/20240114_211638%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1QLOUod1n-BL0tY2vpi_14AaOLo0FWFfsUwbmbugmsoCCyn-HjJGJHjF7zzeHk8WAPFN18fzCr7kaY67CX6fhZ3ylizD7ReJoEXOxV1uQkGhbVs1OCeiOplS76aY2OrDwEv743Emhruh6qwA2MqVneUufwv3pQsg4m5Zbp59-l10Sj4NW_jXE-JKoZ41N/s320/20240114_211638%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Instead of building new, they purchased and renovated a 100-year-old schoolhouse. The 13 acre property, which had most recently been a garden center, featured 60-year-old Siberian Elms, a gazebo, a large Koi pond, and a working water wheel, all of which became part of the dog-friendly Biergarten. The old schoolhouse building housed the restaurant and kitchen. A new building was built to house a sports bar and the brewery, and held a dozen 15-barrel tanks. A covered patio that was heated and enclosed in the winter offered more outdoor seating options, and 5 tobacco barns were transformed into a shopping village, selling everything from homebrewing equipment to jewelry. Doug assisted the business through woodworking projects, and keeping up property landscaping and maintenance.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9iAAqfs2UXDiQl3Gzexa8GkaqMPotsp3cDgkd_1-aoNuBldsDaviRCnXJeOSsm8VxoNw3KyUCLDdhLmUqCV2JZkavPEpdy7rehb4OH5uOpYzzEROs24ZXE7kJ39GpzTxu6WH47JXTWsylVwMEDR3KOVhUxynOxNJbvtPnDvC67HKt3eOrR9U5lNIdfjLW/s1799/20240114_211708%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9iAAqfs2UXDiQl3Gzexa8GkaqMPotsp3cDgkd_1-aoNuBldsDaviRCnXJeOSsm8VxoNw3KyUCLDdhLmUqCV2JZkavPEpdy7rehb4OH5uOpYzzEROs24ZXE7kJ39GpzTxu6WH47JXTWsylVwMEDR3KOVhUxynOxNJbvtPnDvC67HKt3eOrR9U5lNIdfjLW/s320/20240114_211708%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Demand grew quickly, and by 2012, only 6 months after opening, the brewery started adding 4 30-barrel tanks. They opened with 3 core beers and 5-6 small-batch seasonals. Production was geared towards the brewpub and several local restaurants. Demand continued to grow, so by 2014 the brewery had added 60 and 30-barrel fermenting tanks, giving them a maximum of 5,000 barrel capacity. A Wild Goose canning line was installed, as well as a QC lab and a hop yard of Cascade hops. Food offerings for the restaurant included vegan 3 bean chili, BBQ pulled pork nachos, salads, burgers, sandwiches, fish & chips, house smoked brisket, fish tacos, veggie risotto, jambalaya, and shrimp & grits.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHLx4Tc3WPfiieaM0eMDbqd-Yn0IQINwEYhWixKTSzL7ncB1csc8qusQdYvBBlqnw8ivQSgkkF8xDUL7B3n6keOxK2KYqfSoBMZq6tXphN7p8QOnf1mFXUxuf8iTW90piRgy2BIuq7nO_jxtDl0NJXEojs3JWRA1pZJFWvDBmghmpO8jQBb4HqOIBg6KwQ/s1799/20240114_211724%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHLx4Tc3WPfiieaM0eMDbqd-Yn0IQINwEYhWixKTSzL7ncB1csc8qusQdYvBBlqnw8ivQSgkkF8xDUL7B3n6keOxK2KYqfSoBMZq6tXphN7p8QOnf1mFXUxuf8iTW90piRgy2BIuq7nO_jxtDl0NJXEojs3JWRA1pZJFWvDBmghmpO8jQBb4HqOIBg6KwQ/s320/20240114_211724%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">One of the tobacco barns was converted to an events center, which could host up to 125 guests, and featured a cherry wood bar and hardwood floors (all constructed by Doug). It hosted weddings, rehearsal dinners, special parties, and corporate events. The brewery, which was now up to 5 core beers and featured live music 3 nights a week, also helped create the Brew Ridge Trail, Virginia’s first beer trail connecting Wild Wolf to Starr Hill Brewery in Crozet, Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton, and Devils Backbone Brewing Company in Roseland. Danny worked on collaborations with Devils Backbone. Distribution of cans and kegs had expanded throughout Virginia, as well as West Virginia and the District of Columbia.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7qw_7oAi207zkWePe5ZbFP9wlcOI7JcUTibBYthUM-GsTNScVaDGx1sLobl8dXJpuXI-x_Uf5lWNa2pBd1LReu204daBpxAXDvhXF8MkJriZEWcbE69D1RWRW8RRr7-o7EQci2Hqw5sCyy9NEFeiABooZDUTLnG7OomClRRXSJOQlTwGfgGmk_JwHqPwp/s1799/20240114_211730%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7qw_7oAi207zkWePe5ZbFP9wlcOI7JcUTibBYthUM-GsTNScVaDGx1sLobl8dXJpuXI-x_Uf5lWNa2pBd1LReu204daBpxAXDvhXF8MkJriZEWcbE69D1RWRW8RRr7-o7EQci2Hqw5sCyy9NEFeiABooZDUTLnG7OomClRRXSJOQlTwGfgGmk_JwHqPwp/s320/20240114_211730%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">From 2014 to 2018, Wild Wolf had racked up 9 awards at the US Beer Tasting Championships, 8 awards at the Virginia Brewers Cup, 3 Virginia Green Brewery of the Year awards, a 2018 Virginia Green Business of the Year award, a 2015 silver medal at the Best of Craft Beer Awards for their Blonde Hunny, and a 2017 silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival for their American Stout. In 2018, Danny consulted for Acupema Brewing Company in Lhasa, Tibet to get their new brewery up and running, specifically choosing a site and brewing equipment, sourcing local Tibetan ingedients, and installing a canning line. This included Danny traveling to Tibet for 25 days to help with their grand opening, and hosting Acupema's head brewer Losang Tserin for one month at Wild Wolf Brewery in 2019. While he was doing this, Danny also studied at the Institute of Brewing and Distilling in Butler's Wharf, London, achieving a General Certificate in Brewing with a Craft focus.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0xMC_tFLWKUx6zdTPHpS6VPso5SLOC4QQfvY5MH6EkFRLUPiy_38myKIlYNE3xg7eu92yxfQZ9m9PQTMUmHRYGV2GTpidfUpZhNbNV7id3ln3z2YNJa-f_w8SYzi_GGbXX7Jd6OEJviqER7Lrq3ujFkSD1LX_C-h1IwAtPOfM8lTp9X3Hu6pXclXCHNTQ/s1799/20240114_211746%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0xMC_tFLWKUx6zdTPHpS6VPso5SLOC4QQfvY5MH6EkFRLUPiy_38myKIlYNE3xg7eu92yxfQZ9m9PQTMUmHRYGV2GTpidfUpZhNbNV7id3ln3z2YNJa-f_w8SYzi_GGbXX7Jd6OEJviqER7Lrq3ujFkSD1LX_C-h1IwAtPOfM8lTp9X3Hu6pXclXCHNTQ/s320/20240114_211746%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2019, Wild Wolf opened its second location in Charlottesville, Virginia. The new restaurant was multi-level and offered dining opportunities both indoors and in an outdoor biergarten. In keeping with brewery tradition, the outdoor biergarten was dog-friendly. There was also a space used for special events. The on-site nano brewery housed in the restaurant focused on brewing new and unique beers on a regular basis. There were 10+ beers on tap (the nano brews were supplemented by the main brewery's offerings), and the cuisine featured inspired southern fusion dishes by the brewery's Executive Chef, Chris Jack.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSHFNHDaayKE4kbtrzp_pO4iUi7l5SWmilr5duPiNbA4D-RNYR2g44ZGkPj4y6f5lkModtauAyUdF0tmwEb9MYi_DH90jwRR7Nu0szsrVPT1GZowJOregwHguUp3PdnP-4DmdAmmNRt70FTtkWF4n_F5sednXUymHhsvspUXAM0GtI6Bci_bdMQ7jGibaN/s1799/20240114_211758%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSHFNHDaayKE4kbtrzp_pO4iUi7l5SWmilr5duPiNbA4D-RNYR2g44ZGkPj4y6f5lkModtauAyUdF0tmwEb9MYi_DH90jwRR7Nu0szsrVPT1GZowJOregwHguUp3PdnP-4DmdAmmNRt70FTtkWF4n_F5sednXUymHhsvspUXAM0GtI6Bci_bdMQ7jGibaN/s320/20240114_211758%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, in 2020, after just 6 months of operations, the brewery closed its Charlottesville location. While no official reason was given, locals felt it was a combination of saturation (too many breweries in the area), lack of marketing, high rent, management issues (including overcharging sales tax and poor service) and mediocre beer and food. At the same time, the main location in Nellysford was also struggling. Danny left Wild Wolf in August of that year, taking a head brewing job with the Shipwreck Brewpub in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin. Wild Wolf limped along without its head brewer for a year and half, including through the pandemic and shutdowns.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixQhN-OrTy-QHsuzLcq1AISOpR0Sx4CZOzH3pbWiWdfviznQ349fD2ACzTd-KMCWKBVS0Yw9j50lFunnRKFs_iKoI1csWfNKr_Reli3SibEF1GHsO71nHcQeftvsuS7KJCqo8bLlm35W5WJ_p0FJtaNSkgfFBxm2cUr-dxysSbhcjzbOo3vvfEK4LTGMC8/s1799/20240114_211804%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixQhN-OrTy-QHsuzLcq1AISOpR0Sx4CZOzH3pbWiWdfviznQ349fD2ACzTd-KMCWKBVS0Yw9j50lFunnRKFs_iKoI1csWfNKr_Reli3SibEF1GHsO71nHcQeftvsuS7KJCqo8bLlm35W5WJ_p0FJtaNSkgfFBxm2cUr-dxysSbhcjzbOo3vvfEK4LTGMC8/s320/20240114_211804%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In early 2022, Charlottesville-based Three Notch’d Brewing Company announced it had acquired the real estate (13 acres) and brewpub of Wild Wolf in Nellysford. Wild Wolf’s intellectual property was not part of the deal. Three Notch'd planned roughly $1.5 million in renovation work, including making customer spaces more "family friendly" and a connection to public water treatment facilities. In addition to beer, plans for the Nellysford location's future included a line of non-alcoholic beverages, ready-to-drink cocktails, and housing of the Three Notch’d Distilling Company, with a focus on whisky and bourbon.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6utya1yKVsUtvuGd8WoH5t8_5PtgH8Sm0NmUEb55KKeqMLsuH8L0NZRy635pJNus-4ODMEVVrs_KNPv4Fna3My6WDo54zSnJ-4yNfOqJXP_4inYUUWauDeI2HE6L17jDHVSMG6cib77mLcA-ToON3f3c3IjMPc-y7nnfdKogzcpOlWKR5YMxhbiNP25p2/s1799/20240114_211834%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6utya1yKVsUtvuGd8WoH5t8_5PtgH8Sm0NmUEb55KKeqMLsuH8L0NZRy635pJNus-4ODMEVVrs_KNPv4Fna3My6WDo54zSnJ-4yNfOqJXP_4inYUUWauDeI2HE6L17jDHVSMG6cib77mLcA-ToON3f3c3IjMPc-y7nnfdKogzcpOlWKR5YMxhbiNP25p2/s320/20240114_211834%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Blonde Hunny is the brewery's flagship beer. It is an unfiltered Belgian style Blonde Ale with wheat and a lot of local honey in every pour. It also has a special spice blend to give it an added kick. Smooth and refreshing, but be careful – this one’s ABV will sneak up on you. This beer is straw yellow in color with a slight sweetness in the middle and an estery finish characteristic of the best Belgian beers. It’s a gateway beer; men love it, women love it - it's easy to drink, and yet people that are strong beer drinkers love it too. This beer won a 2015 silver medal at the Best of Craft Beer Awards.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUIzaIynpN7Uuf8QrgnOmzIMgKNlAkKdP1aCv4LxVvZXPn8iWr8UAlnB7Yx9CKqKXFWvwNEvvwfmH1SIwaQhKHWpXEDpntwWuusjB9zk_1Mgfk7YRZoHKS1nTF3QLvN_S8jzOoT2a4L5JKwdMb_Y2pT7YsLSd5-0XttdoDbYx1Pay8l3v2bGy7vXoxEQZ8/s1799/20240114_211841%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

It's a bit of a toy on a stick, but I really like the blue frog, who is named Hoppy. A miniature representation of the huge bronze statue that resided in the brewpub (see photo inset), Hoppy wears a crown, and if you look closely, there is a jeweled ring on one toe. The words "Blue Frog" appear as signage above Hoppy. Below Hoppy is an area where a label can be placed. Labels were very simple featuring typed black text on a white background (I'll be profiling their "Big DIPA" double IPA). The shaft of the tap is just painted solid red with no additional detail, so I have only taken 1 photo of the base - it looks the same all the way around. This tap handle was first made back in 2001, not long after the brewpub started brewing beer. On the back, impressed into resin are the words "Artwork by Gary Price". There were two versions of this tap: this taller version, and a shorter "shotgun" version that is 7.5" tall. Not many of these were made; the Blue Frog Grog and Grill was only around until 2013, and though it was sold and renamed the Blue Frog Brewery, the tap had been long retired before that. While I've only seen a dozen of these on the secondary market over the years (that includes both tap sizes), it's not less than 10, so I adjusted the rarity accordingly. However, the truth is that it is hard to find and very sought after, with the last one appearing over a year ago and selling for over $200. (note: this tap should not be confused with Blue Toad, a cider tap that is styled somewhat similarly but is not very attractive.)<div><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYK8hGZFSiWPOES_6Ocp4_EWbcJWJb30RfDWJga9_ZqmuOlClrCoLj71IVYMPaBJhONbaqVW1UFSpgmuw32exfrgQuKT4S5v96IcuGP0BQjplDaZJMmjawPdQlWe0qQBtX-7mqNuOZF0KAOZ-w0Vo3r_VmqDYqV-8iAMGBU-S7yVR_DKsYZ80a19BWV9bx/s1799/20240102_004713%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYK8hGZFSiWPOES_6Ocp4_EWbcJWJb30RfDWJga9_ZqmuOlClrCoLj71IVYMPaBJhONbaqVW1UFSpgmuw32exfrgQuKT4S5v96IcuGP0BQjplDaZJMmjawPdQlWe0qQBtX-7mqNuOZF0KAOZ-w0Vo3r_VmqDYqV-8iAMGBU-S7yVR_DKsYZ80a19BWV9bx/s320/20240102_004713%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div></div><div><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="text-align: justify;">Blue Frog Grog and Grill was founded in Fairfield, California in 1999 by Dennis Landis. A restauranteur who had operated a Marie Callender's restaurant since 1987, Landis wanted something different from the chain restaurant and thought a brewpub that brewed it's own beer would be what he was looking for. In 1999 he opened the Blue Frog Grog and Grill next to the Marie Callender's. The restaurant’s name was inspired by the song “I’m In Love With a Big Blue Frog” sung by the folk group Peter, Paul and Mary. Besides the beer, the main attraction open entering was the 3-foot-tall, 300-pound bronze statue of Hops the Frog in the lobby. The restaurant called Hops the “host prince” of Blue Frog Grog and Grill. Many women upon entering who aspired to be a princess would plant a kiss on the statue of Hops while someone snapped a photo. The Blue Frog also had a "Hoppy Hour" that was very popular, especially since it was offered not just on weekdays but also on Sundays.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnSHPFWEYHdXugZwWDpofkBd1hkvysrDTek4UAPXtaF9Khk98M9nKyLLMwWxCj7YRpG7BGefHkFJgcFfIqOmuX-ScUxDB0D71oYxYTy4JnpVHNTFdOKUbKeke3EeiooBgL-xWsLUShUx1vHy7Z8pjlLAByUNbGjF2-DlqFT_BkpXtUTD78fTPtHdAy7Qm_/s1799/20240102_004717%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnSHPFWEYHdXugZwWDpofkBd1hkvysrDTek4UAPXtaF9Khk98M9nKyLLMwWxCj7YRpG7BGefHkFJgcFfIqOmuX-ScUxDB0D71oYxYTy4JnpVHNTFdOKUbKeke3EeiooBgL-xWsLUShUx1vHy7Z8pjlLAByUNbGjF2-DlqFT_BkpXtUTD78fTPtHdAy7Qm_/s320/20240102_004717%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">By 2013, Landis was ready to retire. He had closed the Marie Callender's around 2009, and put the Blue Frog Grog and Grill up for sale in early 2013. It was purchased by George Almeida, who had been the region’s Fuddruckers franchise owner for about 25 years. Almeida owned franchises in Concord, Walnut Creek, Emeryville and Union City, and though Almeida converted the Blue Frog Grog and Grill to another Fuddruckers, he continued to operate the brewery, re-branding it as the Blue Frog Brewery, and retaining the same brewmaster, Scott Macky. Landis took the bronze statue of Hops the Frog with him when he sold the business.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sLQxdwqLvAHSEVVjGaoiQX6ZmFhy64p7qlyGwI8UZCmPNm_yvu7X1SkdZ78X9A4TympZk8Xx8w4JjUjxjPsRUz87L4rEaXmFoSeBcVjZ5a-4P9kKcO7u-cHGbCodOvSDJk2xadGvb4rQoztkh9WP9GBs4pGxf3j0roE8eVghGnNE0KMDgQjD9Gnpc-L5/s1799/20240102_004744%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sLQxdwqLvAHSEVVjGaoiQX6ZmFhy64p7qlyGwI8UZCmPNm_yvu7X1SkdZ78X9A4TympZk8Xx8w4JjUjxjPsRUz87L4rEaXmFoSeBcVjZ5a-4P9kKcO7u-cHGbCodOvSDJk2xadGvb4rQoztkh9WP9GBs4pGxf3j0roE8eVghGnNE0KMDgQjD9Gnpc-L5/s320/20240102_004744%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2016, the Fuddruckers restaurant and Blue Frog Brewery changed hands again. Blue Frog Brewing ceased to exist and DNA Brewing was founded by sisters Ashley Grush and Daniella Grace, who retained Blue Frog's Macky as their brewer. The location was referred to as the Blue Frog/DNA Brewing Taproom for continuity and name recognition. While DNA Brewing was highly regarded and award-winning, the Fuddruckers restaurant that the brewery was housed in began receiving consistently poor Yelp reviews starting in 2019, related to service and food quality, and it got worse during the Covid pandemic. The doors finally closed for good in 2022.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilLklP9cEi5cYtIVBRZOhqmelHEk7T8_MQzXu_dh2n2RLRcF708EYbxH4EEFlRd-R66kbGQngFs50RK6s6iQgTcjohcWrDIutZWSe67TSAFl99JCZMS0d2iT5dVxlIYVRpK-b5JHz_oYjMrNquQ3kIwwXLrOClDj6xBDynkeXQW0aSkXsRop6OyBJwSneq/s1799/20240102_004756%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilLklP9cEi5cYtIVBRZOhqmelHEk7T8_MQzXu_dh2n2RLRcF708EYbxH4EEFlRd-R66kbGQngFs50RK6s6iQgTcjohcWrDIutZWSe67TSAFl99JCZMS0d2iT5dVxlIYVRpK-b5JHz_oYjMrNquQ3kIwwXLrOClDj6xBDynkeXQW0aSkXsRop6OyBJwSneq/s320/20240102_004756%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Blue Frog Grog and Grill's The Big DIPA was a monstrous version of their IPA that was overloaded with everything from the malt to the hops.

There was also a Centennial IPA version, and I settled upon this Wild Mile Wheat over the other offering. It worked out well from an interest standpoint because I later got into kayaking and this tap features a kayaker exploring the waters of Flathead Lake (see the definition of what "Wild Mile" is below), with trees on each side and a long paddle over the top of the trees on left side. There's a round sign at the top displaying the brewery name and logo, which is attached to the rest of the tap by a small metal rod. Below that, above the bas relief scene, is the name of the beer. "FLBC" also appears as sculpted letters on the flat of the paddle. The front and back of the tap are identical, so I have reduced the number of photos taken. These figural taps were produced when Flathead Lake opened their new brewery in Bigfork in 2014. Wild Mile Wheat has since been retired, but other beers with figural taps similar to his one, such as Centennial IPA and Bufflehead, are still in production. However, the figural taps are no longer produced - recent images of the taproom show a wooden paddle tap style. After 4 other figural taps showed up on the secondary market, none have been seen since, with the last one appearing in 2016. The price has varied between $20-$40.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiealW4zy0qYl8ePjfhMNbjwCreM1BNqXT6xeul9AIP95JnbLJx5iAXaX4ctb2iW39rEzPQcm87mz87IsUrfQACHdms9i-XNHaP9mpetmLIvFYBHyhZ_HDt2S7qhaOopxgrr76Ll3E8PlbPPQgy7tCqxXixJ1DVjHF4xEo9Eee1uh7H0MWt8KpJb5dnVvNf/s1920/mtfwpproject_HeroSmall.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="599" data-original-width="1920" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiealW4zy0qYl8ePjfhMNbjwCreM1BNqXT6xeul9AIP95JnbLJx5iAXaX4ctb2iW39rEzPQcm87mz87IsUrfQACHdms9i-XNHaP9mpetmLIvFYBHyhZ_HDt2S7qhaOopxgrr76Ll3E8PlbPPQgy7tCqxXixJ1DVjHF4xEo9Eee1uh7H0MWt8KpJb5dnVvNf/s320/mtfwpproject_HeroSmall.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Flathead Lake is the largest lake in the western U.S. and is one of the cleanest lakes in the populated world for its size and type. Located in the northwest corner of the state of Montana, 7 miles south of Kalispell, it is approximately 30 miles long and 16 miles wide, covering 197 square miles. It is larger in surface area than Lake Tahoe, but it is much smaller in volume due to Tahoe's depth. The lake is in a scenic part of Montana, 30 miles southwest of Glacier National Park and is flanked by two scenic highways, which wind along its curving shoreline. On the west side is U.S. Route 93, and on the east, is Route 35. The lake is bordered on its eastern shore by the Mission Mountains and on the west by the Salish Mountains. The Flathead valley was formed by the glacial damming of the Flathead River and sustains a remarkably mild climate for a region located this far north and inland. The mild climate allows for cherry orchards on the east shore and vineyards for wine production on the west shore. There are also apple, pear and plum orchards around the lake as well as vegetables, hay, honey, nursery trees, Christmas trees, sod/turf, and wheat production bordering or near the lake. </span><span style="text-align: left;">The lake has an irregularly shaped shoreline and a dozen small islands cover 5.5 square miles, and is home to a number of native and non-native fishes, such as bull trout and cutthroat trout, as well as the non-native lake trout, yellow perch, and lake whitefish. Local residents have reported sighting other aquatic fauna in the lake as well, such as sturgeon, and the Flathead Lake Monster. The city of Bigfork is located on the north end of Flathead Lake, where the Swan River spills into Bigfork Bay. The last mile of the Swan River, known as the "Wild Mile", is a class IV section of whitewater. This beautiful and challenging whitewater venue has a scenic nature trail paralleling the north side, giving spectators front row seats for some of the best whitewater action in the area.</span></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Flathead Lake info courtesy of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flathead_Lake" target="_blank"><b>Wikipedia</b></a> and <a href="https://www.bigforkwhitewaterfestival.com/" target="_blank"><b>Big Fork White Water Festival</b></a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRU3OfcsxL5KXMp7_iKdzVL0bsNstjI_H7hM-J-lwzaid5HZVk034WhbJL51OJww8CoHoMCkFUu3HfrbWNcZzur6PDw3uj4BlcwrH3QrfAYFNcpbU4acV29KWPC7osDRpAWAcNoKl7QBhWGKZMfnm_NyRBFMM7Mk7tfEtnmleMrNZ3B4ogd5DlpUewQSq2/s1799/20231224_133252%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRU3OfcsxL5KXMp7_iKdzVL0bsNstjI_H7hM-J-lwzaid5HZVk034WhbJL51OJww8CoHoMCkFUu3HfrbWNcZzur6PDw3uj4BlcwrH3QrfAYFNcpbU4acV29KWPC7osDRpAWAcNoKl7QBhWGKZMfnm_NyRBFMM7Mk7tfEtnmleMrNZ3B4ogd5DlpUewQSq2/s320/20231224_133252%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Flathead Lake Brewing Company (FLBC) was founded in 2004 in Woods Bay, Montana by Terry Leonard and Greg Johnston. Leonard was a 10 year Navy veteran with a degree in biology and a master's in business who had been working at the Kalispell Regional Medical Center. He dreamed of opening a brewery and saw an opening when the local Raven Brewing Company closed. Across the street from the closing brewery was a former Ace Hardware building that Leonard chose as his brewing site. The name of the brewery came from nearby Flathead Lake. The tasting room adjacent to the brewery, which had a nautical theme and counters made of driftwood pulled out of Flathead Lake, also had windows that allowed viewing of the brewing equipment. As the brewery began to land accounts across the valley, Johnston joined as co-owner.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4_NCNpwL8lNKBRFF2XoXmZ2LpreM_NjZMxBX28iDmSi5KeshF5xTSmP4mdbgrafbB1WLNTJZQtNIjpgqDyhZMeiOyv79U83z4n0eQ0Z8NjGEoAcVHq02bL5zZyvxwgfIX75-bvW5RSp8TQ-oz3zKde_OzsZ_CdMLcwzwEzAx6yxQAh1B7f7OXY5gaivEw/s1799/20231224_133259%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4_NCNpwL8lNKBRFF2XoXmZ2LpreM_NjZMxBX28iDmSi5KeshF5xTSmP4mdbgrafbB1WLNTJZQtNIjpgqDyhZMeiOyv79U83z4n0eQ0Z8NjGEoAcVHq02bL5zZyvxwgfIX75-bvW5RSp8TQ-oz3zKde_OzsZ_CdMLcwzwEzAx6yxQAh1B7f7OXY5gaivEw/s320/20231224_133259%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2006, FLBC was the youngest brewery ever to win not just 1, but 2, World Beer Cup awards. The brewery brought home a bronze medal for their Peg Leg Porter and a silver medal for their Mutiny Stout. In 2009, Leonard left the business to become a deputy with the Lake County Sheriff's office, making Johnston the sole owner. Needing some help, Johnston recruited his daughter Sandy Schwartz to take over as General Manager, where she helped remodel the taproom and started on rebranding the company’s look. In 2010 Schwartz opened the FLBC Pubhouse in Missoula. By 2012, the brewery was seriously strained for capacity, and Johnston decided to move brewing operations to the vacant North Shore Bowling Alley building 5 miles away in Bigfork. Schwartz and her mother Elvira Johnston purchased the building. After remodeling the site, the move was completed in 2013. Johnston installed a state of the art canning line that allowed the brewery to can both 12-oz and 16-oz cans alongside their bottling machine that was already producing 22-oz “Bomber Bottles”. With the original Woods Bay still in operation, total capacity increased to 12,000 barrels per year, although initial production began at 6,000 barrels.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdWZpYLvyv0FETOQT4-bOw1K30Y3a7c2G8XFpxj4xnN3qS4DKDL_fEprfSYsB3MiFJSbIsHnk7rde2UBASO_G7lPdyQ3PF5RbOGjRYKA2klHmReeBevSTsAtk0cNp2TSTBAFXw3V6wbicDWbUQ9K-BBXadFrB9dugDNb7u5lZusBdKV-fMYTp1PeYfFhlS/s1799/20231224_133313%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdWZpYLvyv0FETOQT4-bOw1K30Y3a7c2G8XFpxj4xnN3qS4DKDL_fEprfSYsB3MiFJSbIsHnk7rde2UBASO_G7lPdyQ3PF5RbOGjRYKA2klHmReeBevSTsAtk0cNp2TSTBAFXw3V6wbicDWbUQ9K-BBXadFrB9dugDNb7u5lZusBdKV-fMYTp1PeYfFhlS/s320/20231224_133313%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The new brewery opened in 2014 with an eye on sustainability, prioritizing energy and water efficiency and utilizing solar and geothermal systems throughout the building. In 2015, the FLBC Pub House (restaurant), owned by Schwartz, opened as well. The restaurant featured FLBC beers as well as other craft brews from around Montana. There was an outside fireplace for cool fall days and nights, as well as TVs inside and out for watching sporting events. The original Woods Bay site was used for experimentation and seasonal beers, while the Bigfork brewery focused on production of signature beers. Johnston also rolled out a barrel-aging program, and began bottling their Farmhouse Ales and Sour Beers, as well as releasing more styles in cans including seasonals. Besides beer and beer cocktails, FLBC also served beer in its food dishes, such as balsamic vinaigrette with stout, Caesar dressing with ale, IPA in red pepper aioli spread, and a beer-based mac and cheese. Beer ice cream was especially popular, from espresso porter and mocha chip to pumpkin pecan with amber ale.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7jCqomO25UZOV7yTA78I9p-o085FA3awLxbL6fsElJ8ded_a7_1GIzUki5qqhyphenhyphenNXa0qqrKfDsn8KEGP_km_DwremYHaJZ4CgmlDU3rqDnlY0JUu0MmMALqAVnYaFzCAj42zaaESnZNc4jSND8qyeImotsWfxy_bDmSJJ_Uhzedq5NlRCYQrVG0718YJi3/s1799/20231224_133321%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7jCqomO25UZOV7yTA78I9p-o085FA3awLxbL6fsElJ8ded_a7_1GIzUki5qqhyphenhyphenNXa0qqrKfDsn8KEGP_km_DwremYHaJZ4CgmlDU3rqDnlY0JUu0MmMALqAVnYaFzCAj42zaaESnZNc4jSND8qyeImotsWfxy_bDmSJJ_Uhzedq5NlRCYQrVG0718YJi3/s320/20231224_133321%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2017, the owners of the building in Missoula that Schwartz was renting for the FLBC brewpub notified Schwartz that they wanted to sell. Schwartz made the decision to close the brewpub in order to focus more on the Bigfork location and pursue other adventures. In 2018, Johnston was involved in an serious automobile accident on an icy road that broke 12 ribs on his left side and 6 on the right side, punctured both lungs (causing them to collapse), broke his neck at C1 and C2 (the top two bones in the cervical spine), and broke his collarbone, shoulder blade, and tibial plateau. Doctors didn’t know if Johnston would survive. Fortunately, thanks to expert medical treatment, followed by physical therapy and speech therapy, Johnston made a complete recovery. In the summer of 2022, Schwartz announced that she was selling the FLBC Pubhouse in Bigfork to Nicole Harker. Having joined the company when the Bigfork site opened in 2014, Harker had been the General Manager of the brewpub for the previous 5 years. The transition was to take place at the end of the year.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRYxc9Q3e3jn5ReA6BSpZnsxV42v1_XzRVXOupI_7J8YE-b9qK0T1yAhQ5NyosCu2ij0zS7KN5mKnSnglnZ8WyFBokHaWMuCOGJDXoXhIMx2HpsGXl-gfWib02tHU1AUoqrHFJyOfRCgLceeTZdagha4HjjVfI8MyCT1RXr5L-mGTrjB2HlfrH8Q775BA1/s1799/20231224_133326%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRYxc9Q3e3jn5ReA6BSpZnsxV42v1_XzRVXOupI_7J8YE-b9qK0T1yAhQ5NyosCu2ij0zS7KN5mKnSnglnZ8WyFBokHaWMuCOGJDXoXhIMx2HpsGXl-gfWib02tHU1AUoqrHFJyOfRCgLceeTZdagha4HjjVfI8MyCT1RXr5L-mGTrjB2HlfrH8Q775BA1/s320/20231224_133326%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, in December, a suppression pipe burst over the main kitchen of the pub house. The water was shut off after around 15 minutes, but an estimated 400 gallons of water was released each minute. The flooding caused the ceiling to collapse in the restaurant kitchen, covering the space with insulation and other materials, and water swept out of the kitchen and into the pub’s main floor. More damage was discovered in the basement area, known as The Cellar, which FLBC had been using as an event space. The brewpub closed indefinitely. The damage to the building was covered by insurance, and work crews replaced flooring, kitchen walls and ceiling damage. Kitchen equipment, including water coolers, freezers and ice machines, all had to be replaced. The brewing equipment was housed in a separate building from the brewpub and was not damaged, so canning production was able to continue. After 4 months of repairs, the brewpub reopened in April of 2023.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx_ZToKS54n4XEg24ciNHTaFXSh4JmsLHgjjOMvLTkb7cDZwHK6Si9iqgyNo07YD_jztUWVO3PfTCoaq9XQB9GPD4oD6mf-JTX-L1Q_4FfUT4la4SPLcVd3NsgIeGaJ2Tl4_rBKpuy6XuN6s2K-4FGMIWSxnACTIcoWNgTgSMPIYR-wHfl3p18Y6xWLyw8/s1799/20231224_133337%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx_ZToKS54n4XEg24ciNHTaFXSh4JmsLHgjjOMvLTkb7cDZwHK6Si9iqgyNo07YD_jztUWVO3PfTCoaq9XQB9GPD4oD6mf-JTX-L1Q_4FfUT4la4SPLcVd3NsgIeGaJ2Tl4_rBKpuy6XuN6s2K-4FGMIWSxnACTIcoWNgTgSMPIYR-wHfl3p18Y6xWLyw8/s320/20231224_133337%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">FLBC's Wide Mile Wheat has a crisp, clean taste that exemplifies the American Hefeweizen style.

Sultana Gold is the first of those 2 and is probably my favorite of all of the brewery's taps. Right away you'll notice something different on this one. Although it has a small figural sculpting on top like other LOTW taps have (this one is a mine car full of gold), it does not have the 3-sided base that the other taps have. Instead, there are rail car tracks down the front with the name of the beer in sculpted letters between the rails, while the sides are sculpted to resemble rock embedded with chunks of gold, and the work "gold" is appears in sculpted script lettering. The base is the brewery's standard round red base with their name also in sculpted lettering. The back is similar to the front but has large letter "X" sculpts running between the rails that resemble a boarded up mineshaft. It's just an awesome tap! Like the Forgotten Lake Blueberry Ale, it doesn't appear on the secondary often - I've only seen one - and it sold for over $150. However, you can pick one up directly from the brewery for less.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPTVXoqLoR_4T12h8rUY1CuQS1EdAor6BDnPheX5PW0IvSRJ97n3xAQ_FCFC9mPjrmZz3p8s23FluMF12xrF5ZfS1eI5DDKtzNNvyk0CZZwCT2VxwYI2UW8_7QZUSZfcm8DHlh_DGDjnSlESn1XN7cHlaDN9afRbmhKFx9idLY706wuzNLuq5hyphenhyphen7ecVWv3/s1799/20231117_223843%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPTVXoqLoR_4T12h8rUY1CuQS1EdAor6BDnPheX5PW0IvSRJ97n3xAQ_FCFC9mPjrmZz3p8s23FluMF12xrF5ZfS1eI5DDKtzNNvyk0CZZwCT2VxwYI2UW8_7QZUSZfcm8DHlh_DGDjnSlESn1XN7cHlaDN9afRbmhKFx9idLY706wuzNLuq5hyphenhyphen7ecVWv3/s320/20231117_223843%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Sultana Gold Mine is one of the most famous gold mines on the Lake of the Woods. The original claim was staked in November 1888 by Henry Bulmer, who sold the 27 acre property to a group of fifteen men who called themselves the Ontario Mining Company. This group, who did not even bother to register the claim, hired a prospector and a mining engineer from New York to assay their purchase. Unfortunately this ‘expert’ wrote an adverse report in the summer of 1889 and because of this document, a third party named John F. Caldwell of Winnipeg managed to pick up the claim for a very reasonable price. He ignored the expert. He had visited the site himself and truly believed there was gold in the greenbelt quartz - and he was right.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUiZ2VBtt2M3fVLXeC0zM2GTameEgqXu9TIKBH7aPgTxDV-dzis7ZIUz_-zhLjbI4A_S_5qC92e0dts_4aUvsISwEUSZ-n2jLK2xLSpsOgfYB9FuFC2uev-XTlvN1NBVhW-JqGQyCWJyUp5tyohJgy9VA0aY3rWhLyAayjJ3_sDU8VSt8HguUtRoQG2Gz6/s1799/20231117_223849%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUiZ2VBtt2M3fVLXeC0zM2GTameEgqXu9TIKBH7aPgTxDV-dzis7ZIUz_-zhLjbI4A_S_5qC92e0dts_4aUvsISwEUSZ-n2jLK2xLSpsOgfYB9FuFC2uev-XTlvN1NBVhW-JqGQyCWJyUp5tyohJgy9VA0aY3rWhLyAayjJ3_sDU8VSt8HguUtRoQG2Gz6/s320/20231117_223849%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mining operations commenced in the summer of 1892 when three small veins were discovered in the rock. Caldwell must have found enormous profit in his first six months, as he soon spent $30,000 erecting a five stamp mill on the island. This was a steam powered machine that crushed quartz to release gold nuggets from the ore. The machinery was imported from Chicago and its assembly was completed just before Christmas. The stamps weighed 850 pounds each, and were dropped eight inches 92 times a minute in the standard order, namely 1,5,2,4,3. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCm0lRVoaipWKQlSYCfrZgqENDyWXCHUFX3kRtvdNY9fXWLb1reWORgSUfJdYDemj5hXStuxImEp-kzz8Eb0GU1I-7xGClF8lTBC4Pi0O0mllG-BOKUqgOf92sNEOsii4Uu0R0BBEY-kt947f4EDhNAkSxI-pf6Q3Rc-zZGlMrotxgYdupeBzDrfsH-49q/s1799/20231117_223930%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCm0lRVoaipWKQlSYCfrZgqENDyWXCHUFX3kRtvdNY9fXWLb1reWORgSUfJdYDemj5hXStuxImEp-kzz8Eb0GU1I-7xGClF8lTBC4Pi0O0mllG-BOKUqgOf92sNEOsii4Uu0R0BBEY-kt947f4EDhNAkSxI-pf6Q3Rc-zZGlMrotxgYdupeBzDrfsH-49q/s320/20231117_223930%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In December 1899, Caldwell sold the mine – he’d made his fortune and was probably aware that further mining would not produce more bullion than he’d already liberated from the island. The new owners kept the staff; 12 miners, 1 blacksmith, 5 mill men, and 2 cooks were each employed at $3.00 day. The Sultana mine had been very profitable for many years and the new management was eager to maintain production – perhaps a bit too eager. When the gold seams faded away into the rock a few months later, the organization hired explosive experts and ferried a mass of low grade dynamite to the site. As the TNT was lowered down into the pit there was an accident. History doesn’t record exactly what happened, but it does detail the deaths of four miners in 1901. Two men were buried in the rock at the bottom of the tunnel - it took a week’s digging to recover the bodies.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXeho4PT9an7FfgfBfdIbe4nkUT6rN1YoFipP6tdqvJxz_AQWBxVcE7OqiV646_TQX7gb7dD3L1w5-6VN821ySlyTIhJuoUDc65_RRT_OZHt067N6cEKwPt_XLRNOHgumDkICordyPrHHvmaEftuPSyQ-6GHH6oGJ5eqw_ObmYSR4nvsotn-qNX5-7Rl3x/s1799/20231117_223938%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXeho4PT9an7FfgfBfdIbe4nkUT6rN1YoFipP6tdqvJxz_AQWBxVcE7OqiV646_TQX7gb7dD3L1w5-6VN821ySlyTIhJuoUDc65_RRT_OZHt067N6cEKwPt_XLRNOHgumDkICordyPrHHvmaEftuPSyQ-6GHH6oGJ5eqw_ObmYSR4nvsotn-qNX5-7Rl3x/s320/20231117_223938%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">After the incident, the mine was rife with incidents that speak to supernatural phenomenon. On two occasions there were dynamite boxes mysteriously emptied of all explosive material before they could be deployed. Equipment that was lowered into the pit was found broken though no mishap had occurred during the lowering. Many new miners reported hearing voices calling out to them, begging for help. The Sultana Gold Mines shut down in 1906 and reopened again in the 1930s for a brief stint, only to close again, but for a few golden years, it was one of the biggest gold producers in the province.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVper90Ld_QmtvEoWDXTWGtAf_0zfbkxlhK_GMEnogBnwz3EGkcdyxBfSkD5Ed5XDr69rtmpM33Ow_IQqxOW1oICZrMPUbdAIRO27Ll3Km3WDYa7QoubyOIagSg3FnpRv-Kzp12jpK6yyPLpLTOJJfzJb_jSW6AHZ13SvG7yoGMYJ5uxYIiBv1Csx_W5IN/s1799/20231117_223947%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVper90Ld_QmtvEoWDXTWGtAf_0zfbkxlhK_GMEnogBnwz3EGkcdyxBfSkD5Ed5XDr69rtmpM33Ow_IQqxOW1oICZrMPUbdAIRO27Ll3Km3WDYa7QoubyOIagSg3FnpRv-Kzp12jpK6yyPLpLTOJJfzJb_jSW6AHZ13SvG7yoGMYJ5uxYIiBv1Csx_W5IN/s320/20231117_223947%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: center;">Sultana information courtesy of <a href="https://dumpdiggers.blogspot.com/2007/08/haunted-gold-mine.html" target="_blank"><b>Dumpdiggers</b></a> and <a href="https://www.kenoraminerandnews.com/opinion/editorials/opinion-taking-a-trip-to-sultana-island" target="_blank"><b>Kenora Miner and News</b></a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82R1gM_P3KN9D6DczvYsVQ4pMQXsq1rT2ZEY-NDG-2tONVDiXuWXOmklYcZo97JryXFCxmoYFvRQdPoa7CDJWsFZrkvXqc8GvGvstlwttonRMmKdsxZaLblu7cRmEtwlLcnoHTBHscM6By0x4Q0TZs0u4Dhx2YhuJRsBpXCPFQNn2HHhWS3Zwom3h6TdW/s1799/20231117_223958%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82R1gM_P3KN9D6DczvYsVQ4pMQXsq1rT2ZEY-NDG-2tONVDiXuWXOmklYcZo97JryXFCxmoYFvRQdPoa7CDJWsFZrkvXqc8GvGvstlwttonRMmKdsxZaLblu7cRmEtwlLcnoHTBHscM6By0x4Q0TZs0u4Dhx2YhuJRsBpXCPFQNn2HHhWS3Zwom3h6TdW/s320/20231117_223958%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: center;">For more about Lake of the Woods Brewing, see <a href="https://beertaps.blogspot.com/2022/07/tap-handle-790-lake-of-woods-forgotten.html" target="_blank"><b>this post</b></a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0FY1FxO5jNueDUGTFK0knSuuB55VumJq7ZdzxTePGE6RpkKksohCWcrN6YoPa9Pw1tShkNgbs28UT_ezm0_-JLITdk8ssUlQKhDz2tA_7TbqR-QYzTfvdiuicSvhM8IIl56d4PHSiPUYhLPb0jyCaTmOkOkM2CI7YueBBEKA2PmAptRfgAnbP0LNE9Va9/s1799/20231117_224005%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0FY1FxO5jNueDUGTFK0knSuuB55VumJq7ZdzxTePGE6RpkKksohCWcrN6YoPa9Pw1tShkNgbs28UT_ezm0_-JLITdk8ssUlQKhDz2tA_7TbqR-QYzTfvdiuicSvhM8IIl56d4PHSiPUYhLPb0jyCaTmOkOkM2CI7YueBBEKA2PmAptRfgAnbP0LNE9Va9/s320/20231117_224005%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sultana Gold is a clean, crisp, sessionable golden/blonde ale, naturally carbonated using an old world brewing technique called Kräusening. Named after a legendary local gold mine, Sultana contains malted wheat, pilsner and pale malts. The aroma is of bread, biscuit, mild fruit, with a medium body, medium carbonation and smooth mouthfeel. Hop flavor is low to moderate; this is a malt-forward beer. A remarkably tasty Northern brew.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0lKDFimc5V3ewgkU1KyPMG-Hd7YHYcZZnbCl5gfwhoZhIOZrvIKbv86KkLBCa_maeCwNTP5HWiwU7L9srThESX7zpvg_49XMlsCGPFdtq7nTT9L6zuLqr_9mwajANyKJzhhshxT9ToJA66ke4DWKSah528JEQIhqr8WX66wwLpxxkO89C0wO7tzPyXgZm/s1799/20231117_224009%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A few months later I managed to track one down, and I was very happy to acquire it. This is the first of 2 Thunder Canyon taps that made it into the Museum. Doble Diablo is Spanish for "Double Devil" and the tap captures that concept with gusto, featuring 2 devil heads wreathed in flame. Below the heads is the name of the beers in sculpted, raised letters; below that is a medallion-like sign bearing the name and logo of the brewery. Two devil tails wrap around the base to complete the theme. While the beer can still be found on tap - it is not listed on the brewery's website but people appear to be ordering it and drinking it - the tap has been retired probably since before I first saw it. It was originally manufactured around 2015, and less than a dozen have appeared on the secondary market, most of those in 2020 as a distributer cleared out most of their inventory. The last one of these taps to sell was over a year ago. The price? Well over a whopping $300! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA28a6gPRqJlDvGe8LrQmNKiSOVa37yXGF8g1U-LdxJmzIH5WLYjdb-yQ9D0PZQJlnG2Yu_yK2nQQzi0ukiKwLB2JWi10JEYvdO52Ubu1pCRw4R5lnofzllC9PCBdO90LEh_PV8diwdbYmpQ_tVj1fvpO3VxexMe8vsE58jqz8CeW-c5wIJnsF_pzkfoTb/s1799/20231025_222702%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA28a6gPRqJlDvGe8LrQmNKiSOVa37yXGF8g1U-LdxJmzIH5WLYjdb-yQ9D0PZQJlnG2Yu_yK2nQQzi0ukiKwLB2JWi10JEYvdO52Ubu1pCRw4R5lnofzllC9PCBdO90LEh_PV8diwdbYmpQ_tVj1fvpO3VxexMe8vsE58jqz8CeW-c5wIJnsF_pzkfoTb/s320/20231025_222702%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thunder Canyon Brewing Company was founded in Tucson, Arizona in 1997 by Steve Tracy and John and Roxane Nielsen. Tracy was working a steady job as a mining engineer when a mutual friend had introduced him to the Nielsens, who owned Prescott Brewing Company in Prescott, Arizona, and were interested in working as partners to open up a brewpub in Tucson. Tracy loved brewing, as well as the ambiance and interaction with customers offered by the brewpub environment. He was also open to the idea of moving to Tucson. After studying brewing at the Siebel Institute of Technology, Tracy and the Nielsens opened the Thunder Canyon brewpub in the Foothills Mall in Tucson. The 1999 National Brewpub Conference and Trade Show in Chicago (organized and developed by the publishers of Brew-Pub magazine) awarded Thunder Canyon top honors with its 1998 "Fabulous Firsts" award as one of the top three new brewpubs in the nation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLlRZVUSxZqPReZhhoL5GuvhZ9GIcF5fgA_U2dSKyWnP2DhcpOgppMbOHulD2uwoBqewXu3SrjDeOVZejCGXyf8XFGv4RIvbfgh_eXW5mND_Th0DgifT242WeN2PLfq-jT8weddfyNMG4fFV-9ixVfv0zCMi4mzZLpIZ_N1RWrKarR5pnsletzpCYdZ4tm/s1799/20231025_222706%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLlRZVUSxZqPReZhhoL5GuvhZ9GIcF5fgA_U2dSKyWnP2DhcpOgppMbOHulD2uwoBqewXu3SrjDeOVZejCGXyf8XFGv4RIvbfgh_eXW5mND_Th0DgifT242WeN2PLfq-jT8weddfyNMG4fFV-9ixVfv0zCMi4mzZLpIZ_N1RWrKarR5pnsletzpCYdZ4tm/s320/20231025_222706%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By 2005, the Nielsens had become tired of traveling between Tucson and Prescott to manage both Prescott Brewing and the Thunder Canyon Brewery. Therefore, the couple decided to relinquish full control of Thunder Canyon to Tracy. In 2011, Tracy purchased part of an old charter school in downtown Tucson, where a second Thunder Canyon location was opened after some renovations to the building. The original Foothills Mall location had maxed out its brewing capacity, and after surviving the recession in 2008, the brewery's business had improved enough to support the second location. The downtown location featured poured concrete floors and heavy wood tables. In 2013, Thunder Canyon Brewery chose to memorialize and honor friend and coworker Albert Rich by brewing a specialty beer. Rich had passed away from a biking accident on his way home from the brewery. The proceeds from sales of the beer benefited a scholarship to the University of Arizona, the school Rich was planning on attending. The beer, named “Alebert,” was a medium-bodied summer honey wheat beer that reflected the refreshing, funny, and outgoing nature of its namesake.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKINzGoA_rjPV-CHllSn_p3rYTSra-Sw2Up4bZo6QWMRE7aBaKl8bGmkHH_3Wv7iUD8qw52pz2NDL2PcaBecXDJva4nI0_ouQXmE1wHHtptL94SjTwmh187bBdnFNCnT3D7GaaBOGqBWUgeOIrZPcODGVUy85j83cAZKCwBul_u6UxTxoAqzUCDytfHY8r/s1799/20231025_222740%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKINzGoA_rjPV-CHllSn_p3rYTSra-Sw2Up4bZo6QWMRE7aBaKl8bGmkHH_3Wv7iUD8qw52pz2NDL2PcaBecXDJva4nI0_ouQXmE1wHHtptL94SjTwmh187bBdnFNCnT3D7GaaBOGqBWUgeOIrZPcODGVUy85j83cAZKCwBul_u6UxTxoAqzUCDytfHY8r/s320/20231025_222740%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 2015, the brewery began a distilling program at its downtown location, after Arizona lawmakers had approved the craft distilling license, opening the doors for independent distillers to sell directly to customers. In 2016, Thunder Canyon relocated brewing operations to its downtown location. Nearly all of the tenants of the Foothills Mall had left, and though the mall was going scheduled to go through a much needed renovation, there was too much uncertainty involved for Tracy to be comfortable with. Brewing equipment was moved from the Foothills Mall location to downtown. In 2017, the brewery began canning its Thunder Canyon Thunderhead IPA. They also opened a second location in Tucson International Airport, part of a consortium of local businesses taking a stake in the airport’s concessions contract.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtLP0UFl9uogjfzFxv9OH6aVwsCisxnuG0vU147GowhPycDcAyRbuPoU4itUZpar6IeDr4DfGZLkAMP-RsG44uU6pc5qzmhLvCmdAe2dCApqvI7zXbYdy677n0mbE_larce1o7ZVCsXPd_xbfTQ11KEcG-1oGAUwWs5omtL-EEr39SPAJgAtRyNXk4Qax2/s1799/20231025_222747%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtLP0UFl9uogjfzFxv9OH6aVwsCisxnuG0vU147GowhPycDcAyRbuPoU4itUZpar6IeDr4DfGZLkAMP-RsG44uU6pc5qzmhLvCmdAe2dCApqvI7zXbYdy677n0mbE_larce1o7ZVCsXPd_xbfTQ11KEcG-1oGAUwWs5omtL-EEr39SPAJgAtRyNXk4Qax2/s320/20231025_222747%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 2019, Thunder Canyon stopped serving food in their brewstillery. This was largely due to higher food and labor costs, but additionally, their longtime head chef had retired the year before and they were struggling with their food service. Tracy reached out to the brewery's longtime bartender, Jim Owens, for his thoughts on how to change course and turn the business around. After Owens gave his insight, Tracy gave him the reins, and Owens began by cutting food service, scaling back the full-service bar, and booking touring acts he'd known over his 20+ years in the music business. It wasn't long before Thunder Canyon's calendars were fully booked with an eclectic mix of shows and off-the-wall events, and business picked up. The brewery was also able to ink deals with Safeway and Albertsons to carry six-packs of their flagship beer. Owens realized the brewstillery still needed food. Without it, customers tended not to stay as long. He reached out to Matty Parsons, who had worked for Thunder Canyon's kitchen before it shut down. Parsons opened his own concept, Shifty's Pizza, in the brewery.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_zJ4LUjQUZE08D5w8gXkC6ra1tbAk75GoTSr7HYbfxA7DOaKtf8PWHjIdygN1DakESbsO6iCoQ2yaet8PxHMTfhJFcTpVafrqFJZkAYCcF7fkCnLsxVjPnbKoObWEL26naiw1yougv6xryPeRcyVrpvNWQ1v7CorMQEIVJWwXcMUaSckQ_U1TsGpg8x0/s1799/20231025_222754%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_zJ4LUjQUZE08D5w8gXkC6ra1tbAk75GoTSr7HYbfxA7DOaKtf8PWHjIdygN1DakESbsO6iCoQ2yaet8PxHMTfhJFcTpVafrqFJZkAYCcF7fkCnLsxVjPnbKoObWEL26naiw1yougv6xryPeRcyVrpvNWQ1v7CorMQEIVJWwXcMUaSckQ_U1TsGpg8x0/s320/20231025_222754%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 2020, as the country battled the coronavirus pandemic, the need for hand sanitizer outweighed the need for vodka and rum. Thunder Canyon Brewery teamed up with Elgin Distillery to turn their high-grade alcohol into hand sanitizer. Within the first week, Tracy had sold 50 gallons to local hospitals, fire departments and the public, by creating an alcohol base that was 180 proof ethanol. The ethanol was diluted to about 160 proof before adding glycerin and hydrogen peroxide to the final product. Thunder Canyon’s partnership with Elgin Distillery increased Tracy’s production capabilities; Elgin had a 500-gallon distillery tank, compared with Thunder Canyon’s 50-gallon tank.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZMN_io4l9J5GlwgLVsxzYYL8k9pkud2SudFRQ_Li_v87kYPQJseu_iwSjCrYUcVg-8trMS1S8mX8q7JEGj_dPbzdOf7tFwxvxZ8WN9XHVOXIJ3UJgTGzvZudh44uP51kR-m_ZZt4vYxdAdUZ6poQMw-hMylcDXcqF57WdQYU_V6vhwDbhDzI8rDQjtOV/s1799/20231025_222817%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZMN_io4l9J5GlwgLVsxzYYL8k9pkud2SudFRQ_Li_v87kYPQJseu_iwSjCrYUcVg-8trMS1S8mX8q7JEGj_dPbzdOf7tFwxvxZ8WN9XHVOXIJ3UJgTGzvZudh44uP51kR-m_ZZt4vYxdAdUZ6poQMw-hMylcDXcqF57WdQYU_V6vhwDbhDzI8rDQjtOV/s320/20231025_222817%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Doble Diablo is an American version of a Belgian Abbey.

Occasionally, however, I will make an exception for a sports tap that is either a team local to me or I'm a fan of, or the tap draws me in with color and design. This Pyramid Snow Cap snowboard tap falls in the latter camp with its bright and bold colors. There are 2 other Snow Cap snowboard taps, one with a red, green and white color scheme and one with green and white colors, but I don't find them as appealing as this one. The tap is made from 2 pieces of metal: the snowboard itself, as well as the back stand that the snowboard and the ferrule screw into. The back stand is painted green, while the snowboard has decals front and back. On the front decal is a tall skyscraper or hotel, with white chairlifts and snowflakes. The brewery name and logo is at the top, with the beer name rotated 90 degrees down most of the tap. The back decal is solid red with white lettering, with the brewery name and logo again appearing at the top and the name of the beer rotated 90 degrees. An unusual feature is the use of a hex-shaped coupling nut instead of a ferrule. There were a lot of these made, and they are easy to find on the secondary market, where the prices vary greatly, from as low as $5-$10 to as much as $50.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For more about Pyramid Brewing, see <a href="http://beertaps.blogspot.com/2013/06/tap-handle-285-pyramid-weiss-creme.html" target="_blank"><b>this post</b></a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxsJlZQ4QYq0RPIGkBLo-RS9IojcuZAfxu6d1le7MKP-Kgz0vfbi7XFKLEhlIdIRyLIhpwVL-3MPcWLVLLI9V_UOsP9OeG1_q5qAntzruemqnFAjaWlRVIjyo4HZcb1hkppTpSmoOrhLISDzupRS37sQhZPQ_dR-h-M-0hqt4rX0mpIPTZ6wu-bFDts_-B/s1799/20230922_203159%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxsJlZQ4QYq0RPIGkBLo-RS9IojcuZAfxu6d1le7MKP-Kgz0vfbi7XFKLEhlIdIRyLIhpwVL-3MPcWLVLLI9V_UOsP9OeG1_q5qAntzruemqnFAjaWlRVIjyo4HZcb1hkppTpSmoOrhLISDzupRS37sQhZPQ_dR-h-M-0hqt4rX0mpIPTZ6wu-bFDts_-B/s320/20230922_203159%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Deep mahogany in color, Pyramid's Snow Cap Seasonal Ale is a full-bodied winter warmer, brewed in the spirit of British winter ales.

It features a large cutter ship on top of waves, with the name of the beer in raised letters on the sails. The back is flat. I believe the tap dates back to the early 2000s, but I can't be 100% sure. I do know that anyone tying the tap to Ketch Brewing is incorrect, as Ketch only came into existence in 2018 and the tap ended production long before that. I suspect that only a handful of these were made; since Brig Brew was contract brewed for Brigantine to be their house beer, it would not have been distributed to accounts, and would only have been used in their restaurants, of which numbered 6 at the time the tap was produced. Secondary market pricing reflects the rarity; although 2 previous taps sold several years ago for about $100, the most recent tap sold for $250!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLA4SmCQJyocwewJRIjOL3FqSTjH5RKYoDi1LcfaaLQRXEjNCk44SIbaveqcQB-cLRMPLAoxpLiRmyjn9lz1kvu0fPPnU0ecbdlusgj7l6W-_AABPa6bLpeDdO4p75KM1UMGkmUSVqKzUH7bQl9ndScgwI9N4EZW-iAqLVoVlOUjNMUxFGRswdFQEf2N6K/s1799/20230904_140611%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLA4SmCQJyocwewJRIjOL3FqSTjH5RKYoDi1LcfaaLQRXEjNCk44SIbaveqcQB-cLRMPLAoxpLiRmyjn9lz1kvu0fPPnU0ecbdlusgj7l6W-_AABPa6bLpeDdO4p75KM1UMGkmUSVqKzUH7bQl9ndScgwI9N4EZW-iAqLVoVlOUjNMUxFGRswdFQEf2N6K/s320/20230904_140611%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Brigantine Seafood and Oyster Bar was established in San Diego, California in 1969 by the Morton family. From the mid- to late-1990s, Brigantine offered a house beer called Brig Brew, a golden ale contract brewed for them by Karl Strauss Brewing. In 2018, Brigantine president Mike Morton, Jr. and his team wanted a lager brewed for the group’s Mexican-themed Miguel’s Cocina eateries. However, Karl Strauss Brewing, as the 41st largest craft brewery in the country at the time, was at capacity, and had no bandwidth to take on more contract brewing for Brigantine. As a result, Brigantine decided to end the contract brewing arrangement, and formed Ketch Brewing, which was produced in the corner of their 15,000 square foot warehouse space at Brigantine's corporate headquarters.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl3sH9UAIa4f5XW9_DNX-hy1PELU-uL92SdQ2aVK-7cJcpARxrYYeibFfGDKE6S8D8oIiKFRjoo9y_1AUhTKhM4b4V8EZJpWf2ZZetCvytaQ4ZNJRm3b5gctvuPr5h2EEncrCezCvteBZRGsJfJVOf-Cd1oahU8CQRci8Mz9qpJ_3Lj4UztJr-sMbZ1qKh/s1799/20230904_140615%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl3sH9UAIa4f5XW9_DNX-hy1PELU-uL92SdQ2aVK-7cJcpARxrYYeibFfGDKE6S8D8oIiKFRjoo9y_1AUhTKhM4b4V8EZJpWf2ZZetCvytaQ4ZNJRm3b5gctvuPr5h2EEncrCezCvteBZRGsJfJVOf-Cd1oahU8CQRci8Mz9qpJ_3Lj4UztJr-sMbZ1qKh/s320/20230904_140615%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The 10-barrel, direct-fire brewhouse and cellar (four 20-barrel fermenters and a pair of 20-barrel brite tanks) took up 2,000 square feet of space, while cold storage and grain-processing also occupied part of the warehouse. The initial plan was to start brewing Brig Brew, the Mexican-style lager, and an India Pale Ale. However, Brig Brew was eventually retired, and 4 year-round beers, a hard seltzer, and a seasonal offering are now produced. Tying into the Ketch name, Brigantine opened Ketch Grill and Taps, a casual seafood concept at the Point Loma space formerly known as the Red Sails Inn. Brigantine also completed a $13 million renovation of the high-profile former home of Anthony’s Fish Grotto on the San Diego Bayfront.

This tap was commissioned by Sharp Edge Bistro for their house beer, "Over the Edge", brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge. Most of the tap is fairly generic, but about halfway up, a monk is pulling on a lever. At the top of a tap is barrel bearing the bistro's name. From the barrel flows a golden stream of ale into the monk's beer mug, presumably as a result of the monk pulling the lever. The name of the beer appears next to the monk (and below the barrel) in sculpted, raised lettering. There are some neat little details you can almost miss at first glance, such as the key hanging from the monk's belt, the sandals on his feet, and the "crow's nest" bald spot on top of his head. Very faint on the back of the tap are the letters SC for Sculpture Concepts, and though very hard to tell, I believe I can make out a '07 as well, which would date the tap to 2007. Very few of these have ever appeared on the secondary market; in fact, mine is only the third I've ever seen. The price has ranged between $50-$100 when it does happen to appear.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE-My_pFpm7oadCYQEUzKtSHlQSEEqgWPJH_7uUpPZeX-BRthqV7QKEieGNC8CJz-BOOQ-1xBbEAd9eAoiyiCZ5Mi6zTiEDo50ePjHhcy0vhi43Ioj2Wt5-e0BWAFmmTWDV7MpWOco9oP0Mvf_91wUcNhFji2bC1PtwSpHZY6XoV4VZzgCPbhiqFe556Dk/s1799/20230827_212418%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE-My_pFpm7oadCYQEUzKtSHlQSEEqgWPJH_7uUpPZeX-BRthqV7QKEieGNC8CJz-BOOQ-1xBbEAd9eAoiyiCZ5Mi6zTiEDo50ePjHhcy0vhi43Ioj2Wt5-e0BWAFmmTWDV7MpWOco9oP0Mvf_91wUcNhFji2bC1PtwSpHZY6XoV4VZzgCPbhiqFe556Dk/s320/20230827_212418%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sharp Edge Bistro was founded in 1990 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by Jeff Walewski. At the time of opening, only one other establishment in the area that was serving anything but domestic macro beers. Sharp Edge, located in the east neighborhood of Friendship, focused on Belgian imports and won people over with high quality ales. Business was successful enough that three additional locations were added: downtown Pittsburgh, Sewickley, and Crafton. Over the years, however, Sharp Edge stubbornly held on to its Belgian imports and did not adapt to take advantage of high quality American ales being produced. Complaints about the food quality and cost of Belgian beers led to the closure of the original location in Friendship in 2018. Then Covid, and subsequent lockdowns, decimated business. In 2020, with the lease due on the downtown location, Walewski chose not to renew it, and the site closed. Then in 2021 Walewski sold the two remaining locations to the ownership of Caliente Pizza & Drafthouse, and Sharp Edge Bistro came to an end.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">*Brouwerij Van Steenberge is still in operation.

Just to make it perfect with a great hoppy nose, a full round complex mouth-feel and a lingering beautiful hoppy aftertaste, in perfect balance with the glow of the 9.5 % alcohol by volume. Refermented in the keg (keg conditioned) to infuse the softness and easy drinkability of the natural carbonation. Recommended food pairings are sweet and sour chicken, brie, and angel food cake.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc5fH_2KMs60rkrf-Je9f-Gv2nbl4_y89o_peMZk5oLTN1lpQSkyFL32iLFYw-3lWOX-XZ4gT1TVy5Xbx3DrY6HqJJMFRwSAfsNCf8eC7yZz_OVEmOeiPIPDCVKTjcrE2ERf3q5TvLy4aIrDm86QuU8qVF4p-hH9JEaKRgXc5ExkS7Yo9VIKDO48seFSWd/s1799/20230827_212432%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

There are other taps from the brewery in my collection, but they will appear at a later date since I purchased them much later. I laughed when I saw this tap on the brewery's website and knew that I had to have it. At the top of the tap is a round sign featuring the name and logo of the brewery. Directly below that is the name of the beer in sculpted, raised lettering. Where the tap really goes over the top is just below the lettering. Sculpted in the same flat yet three-dimensional style is a naked man riding a cartoonish moose, while holding up his underwear in one hand. "IPA" appears in raised letters on the underwear. On the man's chest is what appears to be a tattoo of a flower. Completing the flat yet sculpted look at the bottom of the taps looks like what might be mountains with "India Pale Ale" below them in raised letters. Maybe they aren't mountains and just some kind of random pattern, but I like to believe they are mountains, because the effect makes it appear as if the naked man and moose are jumping (or flying) over the mountains. It's wacky and hilarious! One more thing to mention is the sculpted stars down each side of the tap. Since the front and back are identical to each other, as are the two sides, I have reduced the number of photos taken. The tap is listed in the brewery's web store but currently shows as sold out. Less than 10 of these have appeared on the secondary market, although that may be because it was in the web store for so long that people were able to get it there instead. Traditionally it has sold for well over $100 on the secondary market, a fair bit more than what the brewery was selling it for. Will it come back in stock in the web store? There's no way to know for certain. There is currently one on the secondary market, listed for its historical market price, meaning over $100.</p><p><br /></p><p>For more about Midnight Sun Brewing, see <a href="http://beertaps.blogspot.com/2023/07/tap-handle-804-midnight-sun-kodiak-brown.html" target="_blank"><b>this post</b></a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPcCboplsHFPoGGdNr-6yvb2Syxe_bEoljd5Jgi1ZqMYyVTmB1TRmtFPPAizekF_c77Ryln6UVDv6xGCE7sAoiupRP0FjvdWU6tUfjFEEQHLBe44U7xqCZ3KeepyRooqMC58z-ELpsH0ydFQ7XEUiNhGKgmPv4FSsOqLNnP3S38jHuJ3r0ZvfKwCemaLrh/s1799/20230823_222933%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPcCboplsHFPoGGdNr-6yvb2Syxe_bEoljd5Jgi1ZqMYyVTmB1TRmtFPPAizekF_c77Ryln6UVDv6xGCE7sAoiupRP0FjvdWU6tUfjFEEQHLBe44U7xqCZ3KeepyRooqMC58z-ELpsH0ydFQ7XEUiNhGKgmPv4FSsOqLNnP3S38jHuJ3r0ZvfKwCemaLrh/s320/20230823_222933%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Brewed year-round, Pleasure Town IPA is one of the brewery's core beers. It is brewed with Cascade and Citra hops, then dry hopped with Chinook and Citra. From the brewery: "Don’t act like you’re not impressed. We figured out how to put pleasure in a package. And now we’re selling it. Pleasure, that is–the can is free. And when you can barely lift your right arm, grab life by the horns and come along for the ride. Moustache not included. Pleasure Town.

I think that makes this site very unique.</p><p>Unfortunately, it is also slowing me down, and has been for quite some time.</p><p>It takes a long time to research the history of the brewery, pull all the information in and edit it, and cite all my sources. It's a big reason why the number of posts has diminished greatly over the past several years. The end result is that I can't get much content posted, and if I don't do something about it, there's lots of great taps people are never going to see here.</p><p>So I've made the decision to stop posting brewery history on tap profiles...at least for now. We'll call it a "pause" instead. I'm approaching retirement soon, and depending on the impact that has to my free time, I may be able to work the brewery history back in. Also, any time I partner with a brewery to get their tap on the site, I will do a write up on that brewery's history as part of the partnership.</p><p>It's not a great solution...I know some readers really enjoy those brewery profiles. However, I'd like to see how this goes and how it is received overall. If feedback dictates it, I'll resume the brewery profiles. For now, I'll add an additional line item stating the status of the brewery as "Current" or "Closed".</p><p>Let's see what happens...</p>Jackalwerehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09654710359851192155noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505196888141980922.post-27910747446179058962023-08-17T22:51:00.000-07:002023-08-17T22:51:17.809-07:00Tap Handle #805: Midnight Sun - Sockeye Red IPA<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZkvbCttFe_0KFzdhHvXRAhZzpuKYY89m-Ew2cUAg9Qz3ab8-qR9taGzErADBlQo2bOFs2cLpYz2GYYb5Bfiwh3VyOEXBcX3Qw5poHgcwckTbvqVU6TbzCWummjyRcvf-iP5A7HssHWlUm-8_rSJAb65krVEMeHDYlCOnR61Cfk_Vkr6o22dkb8KwKmYpQ/s1799/20230817_210545%20(Custom).jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZkvbCttFe_0KFzdhHvXRAhZzpuKYY89m-Ew2cUAg9Qz3ab8-qR9taGzErADBlQo2bOFs2cLpYz2GYYb5Bfiwh3VyOEXBcX3Qw5poHgcwckTbvqVU6TbzCWummjyRcvf-iP5A7HssHWlUm-8_rSJAb65krVEMeHDYlCOnR61Cfk_Vkr6o22dkb8KwKmYpQ/s320/20230817_210545%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a>Tap size: 11.75"</p><p>Rarity: tap retired?</p><p>Mounting: internal 3/8" nut</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sockeye Red IPA was one of the taps I purchased back in 2016, along with Kodiak Brown, the tap I previously profiled from Midnight Sun. Shaped, appropriately, like a sockeye salmon, this tap bursts with colors of red and orange, with some yellows present as well. The tap design requires that the fish be pointing down, as the ferrule is attached to a black section around the mouth area. With the tap oriented this way, the tail then becomes the top of the tap, with "IPA" written across it, and below that, signage bearing the brewery's name and logo. Like Kodiak Brown, the front and back of Sockeye Red are reverse images of each other. I have taken a full compliment of photos because this reverse image causes the tap to appear slightly different depending on which side you are viewing. Unlike Kodiak Brown, the brewery listed the Sockeye Red tap as "sold out" for many years (going back to at least 2018 I think), although the beer is still being produced. With a much shorter run (pun intended) than Kodiak Brown, will Sockeye Red ever come back? It's hard to say, but since the tap is no longer listed on their website, that may suggest that it has been discontinued. Only a single tap can currently be found on the secondary market.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p>For more about Midnight Sun Brewing, see <a href="https://beertaps.blogspot.com/2023/07/tap-handle-804-midnight-sun-kodiak-brown.html" target="_blank"><b>this post</b></a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh45u6n5kysXVLOUmErrNXh1pf5JrLZ4tsavDh6jViqgZzoEmJPGkcu4C_KTFkmLEge8dKFrfT3C5zIAGnbB9jvLiX6laGHkAvsbiArjf3rEac4mIcmcCjmVy_nIJNO5zTJTY7TubX0YlOfFLD8TIeKGHpOWf0Hbybkbap4U_xxyfPh4gMjq6U2ddKFqedE/s1799/20230817_210556%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh45u6n5kysXVLOUmErrNXh1pf5JrLZ4tsavDh6jViqgZzoEmJPGkcu4C_KTFkmLEge8dKFrfT3C5zIAGnbB9jvLiX6laGHkAvsbiArjf3rEac4mIcmcCjmVy_nIJNO5zTJTY7TubX0YlOfFLD8TIeKGHpOWf0Hbybkbap4U_xxyfPh4gMjq6U2ddKFqedE/s320/20230817_210556%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A long time flagship brew, Sockeye Red is instinctively bold and determined, and a beautifully crafted Pacific Coast-style India Pale Ale with a real bite. Specialty molts impart a spawning red hue to its fresh, firm body but the predominant character of this incredible catch comes from outlandish hops. Cascade, Centennial and Simcoe hops join forces to infuse intense hop aroma and flavor, defining and proliferating Sockeye Red's appeal. Determined and bitter but amazingly balanced, Sockeye Red IPA is gnarly enough to take you hook, line and sinker. Snag some Sockeye Red IPA for your next gathering.

Back in those days, you could place an order on the brewery's webstore, but you could not pay for it...you had to wait for them to contact you to complete the transaction. The tap itself actually dates as far back as 2013. Kodiak Brown was the second beer ever produced by the brewery, way back in 1995. It features gray mountains at the top; a very angry Kodiak bear is below that; continuing to move down the tap, there is signage (attached to some rocks) bearing the name of the beer; a flowing river beneath that which bends around the brewery's name and logo; and finally, a few more rocks at the bottom. The brewery's name also appears as a decal on each side of the tap. The front and back of the tap are reverse images of each other. I have taken a full compliment of photos because this reverse image causes the tap to appear slightly different depending on which side you are viewing. The brewery sold this tap for several years, and several copies appeared on the secondary market. However, although the beer is still being made, the tap has not been on the brewery's web store for quite some time, with only a single tap currently on the secondary market, suggesting that these may be hard to find in the future.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3YQWPlikMXvnLdv7PSG5OzSsjz7DfbfIzV_O9tFs8P6LLhxc6Q_nhDms_ZndVkCmHz7BwgEkAxQ1Z7tvwOZDWqPlbONJOZPL76qinHD9buAeYqdddGlDZ0sHY4xbLyeLPV3POPd79IaHlq7vdXOTOi21U593mFCB7GP5HF8RIuRJiY44POknw4ydatgyP/s1799/20230723_232720%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3YQWPlikMXvnLdv7PSG5OzSsjz7DfbfIzV_O9tFs8P6LLhxc6Q_nhDms_ZndVkCmHz7BwgEkAxQ1Z7tvwOZDWqPlbONJOZPL76qinHD9buAeYqdddGlDZ0sHY4xbLyeLPV3POPd79IaHlq7vdXOTOi21U593mFCB7GP5HF8RIuRJiY44POknw4ydatgyP/s320/20230723_232720%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Midnight Sun Brewing Company (MSBC) was founded in 1995 in Anchorage, Alaska by Mark Staples and his wife Barb Miller. Staples was doing computer consulting work for the Australian government when he happened to find a small brewpub in the Lord Nelson Hotel. Inspired by the beers they were brewing, Staples sought out more breweries and beers and soon found Coopers Sparkling Ale (which would eventually become the inspiration for one of Midnight Sun’s flagship beers). A purchase of a home brewer's kit sparked even more ideas. When Miller was unable to join him in Australia, Staples returned to the U.S. in 1990, arriving in San Diego, where his wife and sister came down from Anchorage to meet him. On the drive back to Anchorage they tried many beers along the way. Staples managed to land a job in Anchorage, contract computer work for the Trans Alaska Pipeline Company. In 1991, a co-worker, who was leaving out of state, left behind a homebrewing kit, and Staples was bit by the brewing bug once more.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqaQWZhn7jUHaAVByNjoLxMm0evWSCYM06ZHFBtByNRV3jKrydV1MhBeetyzYe6XJBDeaarkHnWL66TEZKb0XuxDnQsOWVQBoHC4X4dC0B5TLBVr7KbOitxJ7oQv0oJKlMhVJBcAhlp_djiM85X8TWdel84i-N9QgtyIRTNaU7Tvf_hiOAAktuK42Z6PeL/s1799/20230723_232726%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqaQWZhn7jUHaAVByNjoLxMm0evWSCYM06ZHFBtByNRV3jKrydV1MhBeetyzYe6XJBDeaarkHnWL66TEZKb0XuxDnQsOWVQBoHC4X4dC0B5TLBVr7KbOitxJ7oQv0oJKlMhVJBcAhlp_djiM85X8TWdel84i-N9QgtyIRTNaU7Tvf_hiOAAktuK42Z6PeL/s320/20230723_232726%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Observing how craft beer was taking off in Washington and Oregon, Staples and Miller decided to give commercial brewing a shot. At the time, there was only one other operating brewery in Anchorage, Bird Creek, so the opportunity was both ripe and risky. For the next 2-3 years, Staples wrote business plans, formulated recipes, continued to brew, and secured capital. The Bird Creek brewery closed, but a mutual friend introduced Staples to the former head brewer at Bird Creek, Ray Hodge, who agreed to help Staples get started. Hodge designed the brewhouse layout, found and purchased equipment, and installed and tested each piece. The brewery was located in small building with multiple tenants, including Knight's Taxidermy, which had been featured in the reality show "Mounted in Alaska". The first beer released was Wolf Spirit Sparkling Ale. Midnight Sun became Anchorage's first brewery and the second oldest in state history, following Alaska Brewing Co. in 1986.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMtjw6N2nmI84DmivImEYkQo8l0nH-_CNPNPW8n1NuFnoYK8SBscAp1MuAE7OgtApxSWLUkRemQi_YcUrerxhbfl1FQ98EWcymjOt_Fw6hl-OUpRHPwi23FN6xFWu8z7Anik9hHgbF3r3dhOKdyOG7GXTodU_Y1cqBnlB4VltwcMXHF0MfRe-P4-37OZv5/s1799/20230723_232740%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMtjw6N2nmI84DmivImEYkQo8l0nH-_CNPNPW8n1NuFnoYK8SBscAp1MuAE7OgtApxSWLUkRemQi_YcUrerxhbfl1FQ98EWcymjOt_Fw6hl-OUpRHPwi23FN6xFWu8z7Anik9hHgbF3r3dhOKdyOG7GXTodU_Y1cqBnlB4VltwcMXHF0MfRe-P4-37OZv5/s320/20230723_232740%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The brewery vacillated between the red and the black financially. Staples and Miller almost decided to sell the business several times. But time passed, and the couple persevered. By Midnight Sun’s fifth anniversary in 2000, the brewery had grown exponentially, brewing over 1,000 gallons a week. Seeking to increase production, Midnight Sun contracted with Portland Brewing Company to accomplish this. The beer made in Portland was brewed using Midnight Sun’s recipe and strict specifications, then was shipped back to Anchorage, all for cheaper than Midnight Sun could produce it locally themselves. In 2001, Midnight Sun decided to change their brewing philosophy in order to take sales to the next level. The brewery’s transformation would see them produce some of the wildest, wackiest, biggest, boldest, craziest, and most fun beers that Alaska, and even the rest of the United States, had ever seen. In 2002, Midnight Sun released the first line of Alaska-produced Belgian-style ales. By 2003, they had a distinct line of beers under the side operation Brasserie du Soleil de Minuit.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNDAoJ3M8yb9r109evMCxI2_9QD8m4kUDxJ3gwszDea28dKzO-q9suNo7HLtgyazf1i8c2RVFaiO_OCZi8mO_huzeVLkGRCxE4iCozSC3FJEqXjjeJf3si3_Plc5CWhoj2hB8T0_04wtrY2I1LvOXgEJQpXjcUMOJ50co17hkcOxg26-WWYQW0R7MZdq80/s1799/20230723_232754%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNDAoJ3M8yb9r109evMCxI2_9QD8m4kUDxJ3gwszDea28dKzO-q9suNo7HLtgyazf1i8c2RVFaiO_OCZi8mO_huzeVLkGRCxE4iCozSC3FJEqXjjeJf3si3_Plc5CWhoj2hB8T0_04wtrY2I1LvOXgEJQpXjcUMOJ50co17hkcOxg26-WWYQW0R7MZdq80/s320/20230723_232754%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2005, to celebrate the brewery’s 10th Anniversary, Midnight Sun released its 1,000th batch of beer, a Belgian style Barleywine that took the beer world by storm. The beer quickly broke rating records, and for collectors, “M” became one of the most sought-after beers in history. Back when it was legal, a bottle of Midnight Sun M sold for an astounding $1,525 on eBay. That year coincided with their first entry and medal in the Great America Beer Festival, where their Arctic Rhino Coffee Porter took bronze. Another bronze followed a year later for Arctic Devil, a Barleywine. Over the next few years, Midnight Sun launched a number of epic beers that included The Seven Deadly Sins (2007), The Planet Series of Beers (2008), The Crew Brews (2009), and the 2010 Pop Ten. Each beer was over the top, inspiring, and defining for a brewery that had decided that bold was better.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_MI14kDWU0nH9NQK7FKJ61-5C6wyLVcLsLjMMYagxAGnbLSeKMefvtryb1PgKPChXvpO1Aem5IpPM59ePpAkYOaMK7wFDwOLX1QmqiWmfduU9BVznucxyMJ8ZoGHXArsqFIK4Uw2POa8JLdXK0YUiCBUCNmKoE8D75e2w14JNAuwlLKVrPDMhGuQyfsZg/s1799/20230723_232800%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_MI14kDWU0nH9NQK7FKJ61-5C6wyLVcLsLjMMYagxAGnbLSeKMefvtryb1PgKPChXvpO1Aem5IpPM59ePpAkYOaMK7wFDwOLX1QmqiWmfduU9BVznucxyMJ8ZoGHXArsqFIK4Uw2POa8JLdXK0YUiCBUCNmKoE8D75e2w14JNAuwlLKVrPDMhGuQyfsZg/s320/20230723_232800%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Wildly popular, these bold brews allowed the brewery's distribution to extend well into the lower 48 states, stretching the brewery’s ability to keep up with demand almost to the breaking point. A series of shrewd annexations of the industrial spaces around them allowed them to create more space. However, once they came up against Knight's Taxidermy, who were firmly entrenched, the brewery ran out of real estate. Meanwhile, the medals continued to rack up, with a gold at the 2007 Great America Beer Festival for Imperial Pumpkin Chocolate Porter, and a silver for Pride, a Belgian & French Style Ale (which also won a bronze at the 2008 World Beer Cup).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQYeRHupktDXq4VnY9NN0O8VPysqrUX1HTDEKCDU7opjtdJbsmMOIgHu1gi5Y4XyfJj0dFW9bw26mLgEnOrH0K1JFB2d1XXARbDMj-Kq-HYJYVSZ-_53SK_RIoXHEB_rXtbKSIqFLG7Kdkfd4XTI2qttifBXHcHM_o0dnV1LcsiFj4ffAqMkryPCz7QCDs/s1799/20230723_232812%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQYeRHupktDXq4VnY9NN0O8VPysqrUX1HTDEKCDU7opjtdJbsmMOIgHu1gi5Y4XyfJj0dFW9bw26mLgEnOrH0K1JFB2d1XXARbDMj-Kq-HYJYVSZ-_53SK_RIoXHEB_rXtbKSIqFLG7Kdkfd4XTI2qttifBXHcHM_o0dnV1LcsiFj4ffAqMkryPCz7QCDs/s320/20230723_232812%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2009, with a lack of space holding them back, Midnight Sun Brewing Company moved to its current location in South Anchorage. The brewery had considered new construction until they stumbled across the vacant building they would soon call home. The new site featured the brewery (with a 10,000 barrel capacity), a tap house, a cooler, a retail sales area downstairs, offices, and 2,000-square-foot loft (appropriately named "The Loft") which they turned into a full-service restaurant. The Loft was decorated in a "modern industrial" style, with polished concrete floors and silver corrugated wainscoting. A 400-square-foot deck was installed on the second floor just off the loft area for additional seating and for those who wanted to dine and drink in an outdoor environment. In 2012, they acquired warehouse space a half a block away, adding 7,000 square feet for grain and other storage.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKzle3X-_01te0MqkdRt25-11YWM2xio4eSq41b4F--nayzByaDHgCUYwIBI9AxMJJdKm2IAM-64Gn2eQ3twnhNxM5hBNOFc2NMAlZ-OVI-t_bj3AWXBRelSYUPJyBBy9U0MdFmEEnDG6YTARM7SA0hPdyOQPDI_O_acDB2uzW79Rq7Iu-KnBOC_mC8wZP/s1799/20230723_232826%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKzle3X-_01te0MqkdRt25-11YWM2xio4eSq41b4F--nayzByaDHgCUYwIBI9AxMJJdKm2IAM-64Gn2eQ3twnhNxM5hBNOFc2NMAlZ-OVI-t_bj3AWXBRelSYUPJyBBy9U0MdFmEEnDG6YTARM7SA0hPdyOQPDI_O_acDB2uzW79Rq7Iu-KnBOC_mC8wZP/s320/20230723_232826%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2016, Midnight Sun had to send a cease-and-desist letter to Sockeye Brewing, based in Boise, over the latter company’s decision to start selling beer in Alaska. One of the flagship beers of Midnight Sun was Sockeye Red IPA, which represented a large portion of the brewery’s overall sales. The irony of the situation was that a brewery in Idaho, which has minimal sockeye runs, was calling itself Sockeye Brewing Co., when Anchorage is the unofficial capital of sockeye in the entire world due to massive sockeye populations. To Midnight Sun, it appeared that the Idaho brewery was trying to cash in on Midnight Sun's success by creating brand confusion.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhusMd7QmVC_CIcJyPcZTioUpPBJKUWeBDWzukt90mhcwVQsIV-ssqwdezscy_Q9jQ-c_a1yoRR1AsgTym6pNOIP7lFZRnjXEOSkmydS3FVD7BQtCrafVuv0pV1ZJ607moGPVWxKsCSj58wShmhOcXsp7_ZIGPpI2CFKvoHOiJqy26T-hj5O338ryVZ4DXg/s1799/20230723_232833%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhusMd7QmVC_CIcJyPcZTioUpPBJKUWeBDWzukt90mhcwVQsIV-ssqwdezscy_Q9jQ-c_a1yoRR1AsgTym6pNOIP7lFZRnjXEOSkmydS3FVD7BQtCrafVuv0pV1ZJ607moGPVWxKsCSj58wShmhOcXsp7_ZIGPpI2CFKvoHOiJqy26T-hj5O338ryVZ4DXg/s320/20230723_232833%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also in 2016, the label art of Panty Peeler Belgian-Style Tripel Ale sparked attacks on social media, which rose to the attention of national press. The World Beer Cup announced in 2017 that they would no longer accept entries which had 'sexist and lewd names', making Panty Peeler ineligible for both its label art and name. Author Ben McFarland noted Panty Peeler as one of the best beers in the world.

Their U.S. distribution is limited to Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Oregon, California, Hawaii, and New York. The brewery has been a regular participant in Anchorage's First Fridays art walk, with their own First Firkin Fridays, featuring the works of different local artists in The Loft each month. Specially brewed casks of conditioned beer are opened by the guest artist at the event.

Rugged yet smooth, it balances caramel and roasted malts with Northwest Perle and Willamette hops. This American brown ale’s intrepid maltiness is delicious. A top seller since 1995, Kodiak Brown Ale proves that Alaskans are adventurous in spirit and we are not afraid of the dark. Pair it with comfort foods, such as macaroni and cheese, lasagna, and burritos; pub grub, such as burgers, nachos, and deep-fried bites; and just about anything prepared on the grill.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The posts that make up most of the tap have hop vines wrapped around them as well as wire or rope windings. Signage at the top bears the name of the brewery, while adjacent signage in the middle is a magnet with the name of the beer on it. This tap is used for all the brewery's varieties; changing the beer name is as easy as pulling off a magnetic label and applying a new one. Despite the simple design, the color scheme and layout make it desirable. One thing I should mention is that the tap looks different depending on which side you look at; many taps like this have matching sculpting front and back, as well as side to side, but this Bale Breaker tap has a unique appearance from any side due to the design. It's one of the easiest to find and most affordable taps on the secondary market, but you can also get brand new ones directly from the brewery's web store. In fact, there is a special "10th Anniversary" golden edition tap available (see photo inset). I'm hoping to pay a visit to the brewery in the near future, as it is only about 3 hours from my house.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsfH-sIEEiAqkQBpcdSz7djzJl8_C1fZVklflQgvY1hxgAiX0vrQhWSv8tdjD3u1mOE9ay5i66fGOzWt0JL3iCt84yNOiUrQjMPxPau9X11_TKP8BZoU67lbZfiD4Y-DLe5NDuuR5cpSJMlMLXZWsD2P41o6n8_XNx4nWnyeZDVu2NzRdSxPNW8LXHLqpQ/s1799/20230710_135311%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsfH-sIEEiAqkQBpcdSz7djzJl8_C1fZVklflQgvY1hxgAiX0vrQhWSv8tdjD3u1mOE9ay5i66fGOzWt0JL3iCt84yNOiUrQjMPxPau9X11_TKP8BZoU67lbZfiD4Y-DLe5NDuuR5cpSJMlMLXZWsD2P41o6n8_XNx4nWnyeZDVu2NzRdSxPNW8LXHLqpQ/s320/20230710_135311%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bale Breaker Brewing Company was founded in Yakima, Washington, in 2013 by siblings Meghann Quinn, Kevin Smith, and Patrick Smith, along with Meghann's husband, Kevin Quinn. The Smiths had been growing hops in the Yakima Valley for four generations. In 1932, Charles Smith, the great-grandfather of the founders, first planted hops in the Yakima Valley. The family continued to cultivate hops over the years, expanding their operation and gaining expertise in hop farming. Meghann graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Business Finance in 2006. After graduation, she worked a number of consulting jobs, took courses in graphic design and web development, and worked for a local winery. Meghann was also a homebrewer and took brewing courses at UC Davis and the Siebel Institute. She assumed responsibility for the business side of the brewery. Kevin Smith also graduated with a degree from the University of Washington in 2010 and started working at Two Beers Brewing Company in Seattle shortly after graduation. During his time at Two Beers, he worked his way into a position as a Shift Brewer, learning the many aspects of what it takes to operate a successful brewery. In addition to his commercial brewing experience and education at UC Davis, Kevin spent countless hours on the family farm’s 10-gallon Sabco “nanobrewery” developing the recipes for Field 41 Pale Ale and Topcutter IPA. He assumed responsibility for the production side of the brewery.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPy59yPMrxxST0OUwnx5K88Q2WQlCLNKQDAxCAu7W8v3P1lCH85HhLtngYsnMvLd5ntkSidKFdEdAQaaoQvLNFD6Poe99LsOcWWmXo8WeyKqMfqjacF3D3E25VSq-Ubul_Nid-GtXNRWfcYDMLvG1Ebw3AFYwHj-9K9dqV8j1Cy9z5bZ2PoB42NeoYKP5g/s1799/20230710_135313%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPy59yPMrxxST0OUwnx5K88Q2WQlCLNKQDAxCAu7W8v3P1lCH85HhLtngYsnMvLd5ntkSidKFdEdAQaaoQvLNFD6Poe99LsOcWWmXo8WeyKqMfqjacF3D3E25VSq-Ubul_Nid-GtXNRWfcYDMLvG1Ebw3AFYwHj-9K9dqV8j1Cy9z5bZ2PoB42NeoYKP5g/s320/20230710_135313%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Patrick was a fourth generation farmer at Loftus Ranches, the Smith family’s farms that include hops, apples, and cherries.

The baling machine, called a "bale breaker," was used to compress and package hops into bales for transportation. The name reflects both the brewery's connection to hop farming and its commitment to producing hop-forward beers. Situated in the heart of the Yakima Valley, one of the largest hop-growing regions in the world, helped give the brewery access to an abundant supply of high-quality hops. The brewery quickly gained attention within the industry and among beer enthusiasts. In 2014, just a year after opening, the brewery received the prestigious "Rising Star" award from the Washington Beer Awards. As the demand for their beers grew, the brewery expanded its operations.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFJK6aBX7dOPOmbUR5WMQfWw59mWiKykdSRHWh6WpiTuVkc3KEHAjIqj5-50HVDhwhQvH2lbrFuA2NSb2ZVRtwvcghgxaoSMLZ1571EbGtRop-YrGxa7srF2KJaULrN0fZyMGcW6gyorDRKKYGk8seTMrmPaK9XqxpbQRfWlz2SNreXmFa-Poo5PugFaES/s1799/20230710_135340%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFJK6aBX7dOPOmbUR5WMQfWw59mWiKykdSRHWh6WpiTuVkc3KEHAjIqj5-50HVDhwhQvH2lbrFuA2NSb2ZVRtwvcghgxaoSMLZ1571EbGtRop-YrGxa7srF2KJaULrN0fZyMGcW6gyorDRKKYGk8seTMrmPaK9XqxpbQRfWlz2SNreXmFa-Poo5PugFaES/s320/20230710_135340%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2015, they launched their "Rotator Series", featuring limited-release beers that showcased different hop varieties and brewing techniques. In 2016, Bale Breaker increased its production capacity with the installation of a new brewhouse and fermentation tanks. As a result, by the next year the brewery had exceeded 23,000 barrels, with a capacity of over 32,000 barrels, making Bale Breaker the fifth largest independent craft brewery in Washington State. In addition to their core lineup of beers, Bale Breaker also started experimenting with new and innovative brews. In 2017, Bale Breaker made headlines when it became the first craft brewery in the country to install a commercial-scale hop pelletizing machine on-site. This machine, known as the "Lupulinator," allowed the brewery to process and pelletize freshly harvested hops immediately, preserving their quality and intensifying the hop flavors in their beers. By 2018, distribution had expanded into northwest Oregon.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKU_0SFtJ04LFwupcXx8QuuLTF_sYaBtqddVGYwxkOI2hhIz2fQNOSB7Uk4qApzxicBKpnoeA9x_FDj1DgmlkcB8o6VmXhTRIOkz9RJNHwM6n8JfeeXfkh--MNqEWzM_nwVqs--WAu60J5sieppGK1rnAcHVPFZocWZ24ajPuuWYnWLLYe1JzSkO3A-bmv/s1799/20230710_135353%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKU_0SFtJ04LFwupcXx8QuuLTF_sYaBtqddVGYwxkOI2hhIz2fQNOSB7Uk4qApzxicBKpnoeA9x_FDj1DgmlkcB8o6VmXhTRIOkz9RJNHwM6n8JfeeXfkh--MNqEWzM_nwVqs--WAu60J5sieppGK1rnAcHVPFZocWZ24ajPuuWYnWLLYe1JzSkO3A-bmv/s320/20230710_135353%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2019, Bale Breaker embarked on another expansion project, opening a new taproom and viewing deck that overlooked their hop fields. The taproom provided visitors with a unique opportunity to enjoy their beers while experiencing the picturesque surroundings of the hop farm. Distribution expansion continued into more of Washington and Oregon, while also adding Idaho and California. Bale Breaker continued to grow, becoming the fourth largest brewing company in Washington State. The brewery was also focused on collaborations. The ‘Frenz’ series - pronounced “friends” - began in 2016 with Georgetown Brewing Company, located in the Seattle neighborhood of the same name. Other collaborations were also done the Odell and Cloudburst breweries. Then, in 2021, Bale Breaker and Yonder Cider joined forces to open the Yonder Taproom in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. Up to that point, Washington State breweries and wineries (which included cideries), could not share tasting rooms.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFcEFBXvsZIbA5s1QvFHVjsJwHRQaad6AuT-jG_lpsXXwk48wj1a7crSP5lVPdkI5VSo73RU48XHS1GPvGaGMrxbu16amkwpvvWH6NZc_yeqHgAohKD6WyveKdWxdIL_nCawRDlXZkNqdITDXfd7iUwiQczt4Ctzsp6bW60bhZ56bpoEDVnzbwUJQEHShD/s1799/20230710_135400%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFcEFBXvsZIbA5s1QvFHVjsJwHRQaad6AuT-jG_lpsXXwk48wj1a7crSP5lVPdkI5VSo73RU48XHS1GPvGaGMrxbu16amkwpvvWH6NZc_yeqHgAohKD6WyveKdWxdIL_nCawRDlXZkNqdITDXfd7iUwiQczt4Ctzsp6bW60bhZ56bpoEDVnzbwUJQEHShD/s320/20230710_135400%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, a bill was passed in the legislature that year which allowed distilleries to share their tasting rooms with breweries and wineries. Their shared taproom was the former home of Populuxe Brewing, which closed in 2020. For the combined brewery and cider taproom to be permissible under Washington law, the team established Wise Fool Spirits, a 50/50 joint venture between Yonder and three of Bale Breaker’s co-owners, Meghann and Kevin Quinn and Kevin Smith. Wise Fool holds the lease and sublets space to Bale Breaker and Yonder. Bale Breaker’s brewery and Yonder’s Wenatchee, Washington cidery supplied most of the beer and cider for the 32 taps, and the taproom also featured an on-site brewhouse for small batches. The building had 6,200 sq. ft. of outdoor space, on-site rotating food trucks, firepits, and dedicated retail space. Future plans include outdoor movies, cider and beer education classes, and joint releases.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCyTbTES5bKMuHqo3BqdN1FhgKB4tv3chbc2dfAomV4B9adONhAk6CsOfHCyQjtzYKcU90YjcMJJlolWLdQzFyBHZB1x_lplwtpUbQ-yjzl4iP6PwoCnTBufaQD5-uzREx_jK2Dy1BK8zUqwLzC23VXKLnlRHdsguktgYRD5k61eWQcWnEJYvD_ilGHyoK/s1799/20230710_135405%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCyTbTES5bKMuHqo3BqdN1FhgKB4tv3chbc2dfAomV4B9adONhAk6CsOfHCyQjtzYKcU90YjcMJJlolWLdQzFyBHZB1x_lplwtpUbQ-yjzl4iP6PwoCnTBufaQD5-uzREx_jK2Dy1BK8zUqwLzC23VXKLnlRHdsguktgYRD5k61eWQcWnEJYvD_ilGHyoK/s320/20230710_135405%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bale Breaker crafts seven year-round canned beers, including the widely celebrated Topcutter IPA, and a diverse offering of seasonal beers in cans and on draft. The brewery's commitment to sustainability has also been a significant focus. Bale Breaker utilizes solar panels to generate a portion of their energy needs, and they employ environmentally friendly practices throughout their brewing process. Chartible works include Ales for ALS, started in 2013 by the hop farm, to raise funds and awareness for ALS research. Each year, Loftus Ranches and Yakima Chief Hops donate a unique blend of primarily experimental hops to breweries across the country, with the ask being a donation to the ALS Therapy Development Institute of at least $1 per pint brewed. In 2016, over 100 breweries nationwide created and brewed their own beer to best showcase that year’s special blend of hops. Every year, Bale Breaker brews a special Ales for ALS brew, Bubba’s Brew, named after the owners' uncle, Scott “Bubba” Hanses, who passed away in 2020 after a long battle with ALS. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ3yytGYKjFNhNWNQbK2auCFml0FnPil0kYTG_bXoaQVYcA3qP6u9t-6oY65y-OiOzVouYlqnRxzDRgPbo-VpdHoyCjOZ0_ILWVmrnC9zaWCYICYmzoLWZjJqpWpR8TbldixtAJgWqRp4evTIgaDB18Q1-csC1XbAVmxxv47Z4Y0w_1884L5szdkrAeBeK/s1799/20230710_135416%20(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ3yytGYKjFNhNWNQbK2auCFml0FnPil0kYTG_bXoaQVYcA3qP6u9t-6oY65y-OiOzVouYlqnRxzDRgPbo-VpdHoyCjOZ0_ILWVmrnC9zaWCYICYmzoLWZjJqpWpR8TbldixtAJgWqRp4evTIgaDB18Q1-csC1XbAVmxxv47Z4Y0w_1884L5szdkrAeBeK/s320/20230710_135416%20(Custom).jpg" width="180" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2022, the brewery resumed the Frenz series by collaborating with Barley Brown’s Brew Pub (Baker City, Oregon), Fremont Brewing (Seattle), and five different Yakima-based breweries in November (the latter was called Frenzgiving). In 2023, the brewery celebrated its 10th anniversary by reuniting with Georgetown for a new Frenz collaboration, with release parties in Seattle and Yakima. Later in the year, Bale Breaker plans to release collaboration beers with Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. (Chico, California) and Russian River Brewing Co.

It is a well-balanced yet aggressive West Coast IPA that showcases Yakima Valley hops at their finest. Late additions of Simcoe, Citra, Loral, and Mosaic give this beer its complex citrus, fruity, and floral aroma and flavor. Named for a unique piece of farm equipment that removes hop vines from the trellis during the annual hop harvest, Topcutter IPA delivers loads of hoppiness all year long.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The previous year's Tap of the Year went to Heavy Metal Brewing. This year's third annual Awards required one of the following: the tap had either made a first appearance in social media, or was first available for sale (through the brewery or on the secondary market), in 2022. I made a list of taps that I know of that fit that criteria... although, as in previous years, I'm certain there are taps out there that I'm unaware of.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This year I've done away with categories. Instead, I will award 9 medals among all potential entries: 3 Bronze medals, 3 Silver medals, and 3 Gold medals, with 1 of the 3 Gold medals awarded the overall "Tap of the Year" category - otherwise known as "Best In Show". There were some tough choices this year, as I felt each of the Bronze and Silver winners could have gone the next medal higher, and for the top tap this year, all 3 Gold medalists were very worthy of claiming that honor. Here are the winners for 2022:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSE92se0ypwp1UkzxMe3_UnMnH_P-3l0c3nUQZsQcqFeVi9vkv8Uvbogfh91WPRvwWMXAIL2BpgW3sbld_rBKgEZywLk_b6nrIuos7RSS8c_QkQ2RggXWQ2c1Hj2F6ZiriRkautGsw1RZl0xZSgpMllzS5JBGxzhqvHIKMNvvUm9Qw5-UGB-JzeScFFg/s1799/20230430_214238%20(Custom).jpg" style="margin-left: auto;
