‘Tis the season for brewing! Among the lastest beers crafted by Field Point Brewery in 2023 is the inaugural creation by our newest Brew Crew member, Branden. Beer, the golden elixir, is a source of joy for people everywhere. As we eagerly anticipate the happiness a baby boy has brought to the world this time of year, let’s celebrate both occasions together. Cheers!
After the morning teachers’ conferences concluded, we headed to Field Point Brewery’s South location. Before diving into the brewing process, we decided to recharge from the morning activities at the Bloody Mary bar.
To infuse some Christmas spirit, Mark commanded Alexa to play festive tunes. As the Christmas music filled the air, Jerry diligently ensured there were no dough balls in the mash.
Around Christmas, many families get together and play games. While the beer was brewing, the Field Point family spent that time playing sheep’s head. Just like many other things, sheep’s head was a first for our new brew boy. He continued to learn through failure. (Editorial Note: Branden did pretty well for a first timer.)
Get ready to amplify your Christmas spirit with “Joy to the World” amber ale! Our brew captures the season’s essence, blending the warmth of Christmas traditions with the rich, toasty notes of a well-crafted amber ale.
