Sunday at Octane

Sunday enjoying some craft brews @Octane in Grant Park. First is the Founder's Red Rye and amber ale that has a great flavor. Second is the Finch's Fascist Pig and at 8% alcohol is more high gravity than the Red Rye. Very flavorful and great aftertaste. Red Rye is available on draft and will be available in bottles seasonally. Between the three of us both are good and good amber beers but Facist Pig is a must try .


Corby visited Asheville which has dubbed themselves as Beer City USA. Asheville has a growing craft brewing seen and Corby visited 5 breweries that made interesting and complex brews.

He'll share more about his visit soon.

Welcome to Brothers (and a Sister) That Brew

Anita, Corby, Kevin and William (me) are gearing up to share our craft beer experience for men and women of color that are interested in learning more about craft beer, brewing, tasting and what makes beer cool.  As African American craft beer lovers, we wanted to connect with others that share our love of beer and our dream to one day open a brewery of our own.  Please join us on our journey to share the wonders of beer and possibly (cross our fingers) to opening of our own brewery.  This is a open post blog so we want to hear from you all on what you like about beer and your brewing experiences.

Each week, we'll share our thoughts and feel free to share yours on different craft beers, different tastes of beers, and local beer spots that highlight craft beers.

This photo is after one of our brew sessions. Corby is making an American Amber Ale and we'll let you know the results next week.
