It’s been way too long since our pal (and local native) Beau Baden visited the WILK Friday BeerBuzz. We always enjoy having Beau on the show and of course we love the Brew Works beers that he always brings.
When we were planning our Spring 2013 Tour de Buzz III bus trip, we quickly realized that Brew Works would not only be a great destination, but we knew we’d have a great time sampling their beer AND getting some private tours from Beau himself. For anyone who is joining us on the bus trip tomorrow, you’re in for a real treat.
It seems like just yesterday that Brew Works opened their doors, so it was exciting to talk with Beau about the Brew Works 15th anniversary celebrations as well as the specialty beer they brewed. Congratulations to everyone at Brew Works!
It was also exciting talking to Beau about the “Brewer for a Day” contest winning beer that local Wyoming Valley homebrewer Mike Sexton got to brew on the Brew Works equipment. It sounds like it was a really fun day and a really great Black Rye IPA. 
No Friday BeerBuzz would be complete without sampling a beer…so today we chose to sample one of my Brew Works favorites…Space Monkey. This beer is a wonderful raspberry saison that has a refreshing clean tart bite with the smooth finish of a traditional farmhouse ale. At 7% ABV this beer can be a little sneaky, but don’t let the raspberry fool you. Space Monkey is a semi sweet 25 IBU, but it does contain Nugget, EKG & Czech Saaz hops. This is a great summer beer and a really pleasant brew.
Thank you to Beau Baden from Fegley’s Brew Works, Nancy, John & Joe for yet another
fun Friday.

Great to have Beau Baden from Fegley's Brew Works in the studio with us this morning!
ReplyDeleteAnd while I have enjoyed many of his masterful creations over the years, I had never tasted 'Space Monkey' until today. 'Space Monkey' is one of those rare beers that, like a peanut, having one makes you want to have two, makes you want to...and you get the picture. Tart, a little bit yeasty, refreshing and more!
We are so looking forward to the WILK FBB Tour de Buzz III and our visit to Fegley's Allentown and Bethlehem Brew Works tomorrow!
Thanks to Beau Baden for being on the show, thanks of course to Bill from MyBeerBuzz.com for putting another great show together, and as always, thanks to you for listening!
Best,
John
