Butchery and Beer: Blue Blood Brewing Co.

I'm not one to really think much about or set new years resolutions because typically I just find that they get thrown off to the side people really don't really see them through but this year I'm making some changes and one of them is to try and keep up on this blog more. I want to really use this as a journal of what is going on in world of food and beverage. I've done this on one of my other blogs and it has really helped me to go back and reccount what I've done. So this is the first of many to come of me trying to catch up on what has been happening.

On December 7th I was excited to go to the opening party for the newest brewery to open in Lincoln, Blue Blood Brewing Co. Its always exciting for me to have a new local brewery opening especially one that is only about a 3 minute drive from my house. I met up with a fellow beer enthusiast (or as I typically put it "brew geek") to check out the brewery. I first heard about this brewery a few months ago and had been swinging by on my bike occassionaly to see what was happening.

The brewery is featuring two beers to start and both were available for tasting at the party. They have 1327 Pod's ESB that I thought was a nice and refreshing brew that will be great in the summer and paired with lighter foods. They also have 834 Happy As Ale which I thought was a really good american pale ale. I can't wait to drink more of it.

Right now since the brewery is still growing they are only set up to offer beer in kegs and will be soon offering the two beers in cans which I can't wait for. I have been able to get to have the beers again while I've been out at a couple of local restaurants and bars. I've also heard rumors that they will be working on some new offerings including a porter which I'm really happy to hear since it is my favorite style.

Here's a couple of pics I took at they brewery:
