What's up everybody?  It's been a long time since I've been on the hb boards.  I apologize, life gets busy.  I just wanted to update everyone on what I'm doing and let you all know about the new brewery I'm working at.

 

I just moved to Atlanta to be the Head Brewer for Orpheus Brewing.  It's a pretty sweet gig, and I'm working for some really cool people.  We have a standard 20 bbl brewhouse, plus a custom built sour mash tun for running sour mashes over a couple days without tying up the brewery.  Fermenting in 40s and 60s.  And the facility has a ton of barrel space.  Our tasting room will overlook the brewery and have windows out onto Piedmont Park.  Pretty sweet. 

 

We'll be doing a sour plum saison, a hoppy saison, 13% imperial stout, seasonal IPA series including an all Brett IPA.  Packing in kegs to start, cans to follow, and we'll likely be bottling the stuff that eventually comes out of the barrels.

 

Check us out, holla if you're in ATL.

Hey, nice to hear from you, chuck!

 

Awesome news!  Congrats!  I know you had been working on this for a while.  We'll have to spread the word to the Georgia Brews-Bros.  I'll definitely swing by if I'm ever in town.

 

Is this a new brewery?  Production or brewpub?

 

I love hearing when our members make good on their passion.

Brand new production brewery, I was Brewmaster for a brewpub in Statesboro for this.  It is nice to be back in a big city, so many options for restaurants and good beer bars.

Wondering what happened in Statesboro since we last talked.

Excited to see where the the Sour Mashtun can go.

Bigger system, bigger city, better beers, better bosses.

Me too, a sweet toy you don't see in many breweries.  Lots of barrel space and sour mashes, we aren't brewing common beers.  Super pumped to crank this brewery up next month.

I get up to ATL a few times a year.  On premise consumption?

Yeah, we'll have tours and tastings.  Targeting a grand opening of that in June I believe.  Our tasting room has a huge window into the brewery floor and we're planning on punching a couple windows into the wall to have it overlook Piedmont Park.  There is also an outside deck overlooking the park.

Awesome dude! The brewery I brew at is nowhere near that cool. Not even close. Congrats on the sweet gig! I will have to get down there for a tour!

Definitely hit me up if you're coming down.  Where are you brewing up in NY?
