Power Play Ale

 Okay, I really want to take a shot at this whole blogging thing.  I don't know why it is so hard for me to post updates.

So, yesterday I brewed a beer that I need a quick turn-around on for my son's upcoming end of season hockey party. This Power Play Ale will be for the adults and then I am making an orange soda for the kids. We also decided to give the coaches a ceramic top growler filled with this beer for their help this year. This was my son's first year in hockey and the effort he has put forth has been amazing!
