El Bait Shop-Beer Genius and my pale ale attempt.

I recently learned of a new and exciting thing going on at my favorite bar El Bait Shop.  A bar in downtown Des Moines that has a large selection of craft beers from around the world. The people at El Bait Shop have had an exciting new way to be able to try new beers created for them. Fresk Interactive  two German brothers Stefan and Thomas Hansen created the Beer Genius for El bait Shop. At the El bait shop, the beer genius works as a kiosk, that allows people to be able to chose their beer first on color light, medium, dark, then on hops low medium or high, and finally alcohol low, medium, or high. This new addition the El Bait shop will make it easy for new craft beer enthusiast to be able to sift through the over 300 different beers that El bait Shop has to offer. Not from Iowa, can’t go to El bait shop, well the beer genius is also available as an app. allowing you to be able to chose a number of beers no matter where you are at. It is an awesome and exciting thing going on here in Iowa. The local news station also did a story on the beer genius you can find that here at KCCI. 

I currently brewed a pale ale over the weekend. Using a recipe again I found on www.howtobrew.com. This time I decided to make it a little better and I steeped some specialty grains. Hopefully this will make the beer turn out even better than the last one, which after conditioning longer has turned into quite the beer. The whole process went a lot smoother than the first time and the beer is fermenting away and it will be ready to go in a couple of weeks. Check in with ya later.
