A year ago I received a mysterious note hand written by a passing by gentleman. The irony of the note was that the inspiration within was something I had been pondering to begin in our cellars. At the time, I was teetering back and forth on wheather it was the right moment to begin our wild and sour ale program. This note, seemingly sent from the beer gods, conviced me it was time. I have kept the note in one of my beer books reminding me of the outside influence as we continue to grow our cellars.
The note reads:
Brew Master,
Message from old-country connoisseur:
The best beer in the world is Rodenbach Grand Cru. Its been a decade or more since I’ve been able to enjoy this unrivaled quality. I am humbled by your skill and creativity, you are a master. You are ready for the Rodenbach Grand Cru challenge. I shall be back in two years….OCM old country Martin.
