Wanted to update after doing the brewers experience. Thats right, I brewed my own beer at OHSO! So basically you sign up for one of the dates on their iphone app. They have a list of dates and then each date has a different type of beer. So porters, ipa's, amber, then some interesting specialty beers. You pay but then they give you a gift certificate for the same amount back so it free then right?
Anyway, expect to spend about 5 hours when you brew. Dave the head brewer was awesome and went through the whole process and answered any questions we had. Although you might think you are stuck making a plain old porter for example, they are great in embracing your creativity. You can add ingredients, make it more or less hoppy. You get to customize everything. Dave's first answer when asking about adding things is yes. He also explains why something might not work how you want and makes alternate suggestions. The brewing area is in the open so the whole time people were taking pictures and asking questions who were there eating dinner.
This is pretty unique. Don't think i've ever heard of a place letting you brew your own beer and then letting you have it up on the board for sale.
So you get to brew your beer and then you name it and pick a tapping date. Thats right, your own beer will be for sale at OHSO.
Oh by the way, you can eat and drink while your brewing. If you need beers or food they will have it brought over for you.
So lets recap fowks...You get to spend 5 hours brewing your own beer while drinking beer! Then you get to go back a month later and drink your own beer and see it proudly displayed on the beer list..
