Tomorrow, June 26, the Tasting Room will open at 10 am to host a viewing party for the World Cup match between USA and Germany. There will be brats, potato salad and sauerkraut available. It is an important match for both teams so you should come down and join us regardless of who you are cheering for!
While you are at Bayern Brewing, you should check out the new growlers (pictured below). Compact and made of stainless steel, it is hard to believe they have the same capacity as a regular 64 oz growler. We tested it!
This blog post is short because I am actually typing it while brewing today. I don't want to get too distracted and screw up this batch of Dragon's Breath Dark Heff (don't worry - I wouldn't let that happen)! Hope to see you here for the big match tomorrow.
Prost!

| Tasting Room Before |
Visitors to the Bayern Brewing Tasting Room this weekend will be the first to experience tasty, authentic German-style beer poured from the new draft system that was installed this week. In the photo at right, you can see the old cooler cabinets below the tap handles. They were noisy and limited on space, so we couldn't always have all beers available on tap at once. It was kind of ceremonious to roll out another keg of beer once the last one was empty, but the Tasting Room employees probably didn't see it as a cool thing, especially when there were lots of thirsty customers to serve.

The new system brings beer that is kept at an optimally chilled temperature stored in the walk-in cooler directly behind where the photo is taken. Two very elegant-looking stainless tubes contain all the beer lines (and glycol cooling) with tap handles located above a beautiful new drip-pan. The new drain pan even features rinse sprayers for the glasses before use. This isn't just a cosmetic or convenience upgrade; keeping with our commitment to sustainable business practices, it is believed that this will cool the beer more efficiently than the old system, using less energy.
Please come down and check it out: the downstairs is now re-opened! Thanks to all our customers for your patience with the process this last week and thanks to our good friend Boomer for all his hard work. Prost!
