Notes

What better way to celebrate the Summer solstice than following it up with an outdoor brew day? About ten years ago, the AHA figured out that one of our neighbors and talented musicians, Kyle Hollingsworth, was a big fan of homebrewing. Hollingsworth spoke about his evolution with brewing beer and the person who taught him to make it, Bruce Payne. This beer is Payne’s recipe, a spicy Belgian ale with notes of ginger and orange zest.

Solstice Spice was originally featured in the March/April 2006 issue of Zymurgy.
