One thought on “Brew #32 – Piloncillo Porter #2”
There are a lot of good brews coming out of TwiddleNutz of Austin, but this one, Piloncillo Porter #2, I would call my favorite!
A very smooth, great tasting, quality dark beer. It was a huge hit at our Thanksgiving celebration- everyone really enjoyed it. (We ran out!! Joe promises to bring more next time : ) We really appreciate the luxury of the home brew. It just keeps getting better… and now, winemaking… using Doug’s homegrown grapes…how cool is that!?!
Thanks, guys!
