WILK Friday BeerBuzz–5 Aug 2011 (Old Forge Brewing w/Damien Malfara)

8/05/2011 09:52:00 AM , ,

WILKFridayBerbuzz11Back in Oct 2010 we welcomed Damien Malfara from Old Forge Brewing in Danville, PA on to the Friday BeerBuzz to sample his Smashin’ Pumpkin Ale.  The beer was great, and Damien was a great guest…so it was only natural that we’d want to get Damien back on for another visit and to sample some more great brews.

[image%255B3%255D.png]I have to thank Damien in advance since he’s up to his ears in the opening of an Old Forge Brewing Co Packaging Brewery.   We brought you the news back in March, but it was a lot more fun to hear Damien describe the new facility. 

Look for a new 20bbl brewing system to be in place (located at the former TRW plant on Market St in Danville) but I think I was most excited to hear a few things.  First off watch for 1[image%255B7%255D.png]6oz cans of Old Forge Brewing Co Beers to be released into our market.  Initially I’m expecting to see  Endless Summer and T-Rail Pale Ale (the beers we sampled today), but I suspect we’ll see even more beers in cans from OFBC as time allows.  You can check out the announcement here for Endless Summer and T-Rail cans.

I think what was most exciting to hear for me was the news that Damien would be using the original brewpub system to experiment and perhaps even brew some specialty 750ml bottles and even come barrel aged beers.  Very exciting news for Damien and for our local craft beer community….so stay tuned for some upcoming OFBC beers coming soon.

Thanks

to  Damien Malfara from Old Forge Brewing Co, Nancy, John, Joe, and Bosco for yet another fun Friday. 

The Friday BeerBuzz…bringing good beers and good people together.

    Old Forge Brewing isn't in Old Forge, PA, it's in Danville! (Named, I believe, after good ol' Dan!)

    Happy to welcome Damien Malfara back to the FBB studio. Liked 'Endless Summer' a lot. LOVED 'T-Rail Pale Ale' with all my heart and soul! lol

    Great beers Damien. Thanks for joining us and thanks for making beer!

    I drink T-Rail all the time and my wife loves Endless Summer Ale. Old Forge brewing is our favorite so it was nice to finally hear Damien on the radio.

    Another great guest on the beerbuzz show! I tune in every week and now I'm really starting to enjoy better beers. I visited Old Forge in May and love the beer. Damien brews one called Sensessional that is my favorite.

    My Fridy starts on the right foot with you guys. The show simply makes me happy and I guess it helps that every week you give me another great beer to go try. I haven't been to Old Forge Brewing yet, but now I have a great reason to go visit. Thank you guys and thank you Damien.

    The buzzers always feature great dark beers. I never liked a single one until Bill brought out Alesmith Speedway Stout. Now I love stouts!

    Great show again. I hope that big camera I see in the background will eventually be part of a TV show you guys do?? I'd really love a weekly TV show called the Friday BeerBuzz that follows the radio show before and after you go on the radio. Maybe Fox 56 is listening???
