If I can ever get more than 25 minutes between urgent emails with long crazy rants in the subject line, I’m going to try to brew a clone of Belgian Red.

I had it for the first time at the GABF last year. When we got into the venue, about 85% of the total crowd was standing in a long, snaking line in front of the New Glarus booth, and as soon as they finished their first sample, they cycled back to wait again. Definitely a good sign.

I am lucky enough to come into a bottle here and again but with no real regularity. Zymurgy published a recipe using Knudsen’s tart cherry juice rather than real cherries, and I’m going to follow that as much as some local ingredient limitations will allow.

10 gallons, coming up…
