If you've heard anything about the Kaspar Schulz lately, you've probably wondered what the heck is that? Basically, it’s the fancy name for our newest addition here at Big Rock; our pilot brewery.
It's a small brewery, stored within Big Rock's main brewery and it allows us to experiment and play with new recipes. So far we’ve come up with a bunch of new brews, none that we’re completely ready to bring to the mainstream market, but we’re getting there.
This mini-brewery really let’s us be expressive in the creation of new brews, and allows us to get really crafty!
If you come for a tour, we’ll show it to you, but in the meantime, here’s a real quick photo tour by our Brewery Manager Jody, just to give you a look at what it’s all about!
See you soon!

These are the fermentation tanks sepcifically for the Kaspar Schulz brews.

This is one of the Kaspar Schulz brews fermenting presently. It's a Cherry flavoured Belgian Ale, yum!!

After the first stage of fermentation the pilot beers head to the next stage, the cold fermenting tanks.

And then, eventually we get to the testing time!

I was a big fan of one of Big Rock's unique beers called Magpie.
I believe it was made using Rye as on of the grains. Any chance you might bring it back?

P.S.
See you in October!

Count this as another request for the return of the Magpie. That was the beer that made me Big Rock fan!
