John Troegner spoke about 2011 Naked Elf on Facebook today:
Naked Elf is an exercise in deconstruction and minimalism. This ale has distinct roots in The Mad Elf minus some key components.The cherries? Gone.The honey? Gone.The chocolate malt? Gone.Coming in just under 8% ABV, Naked Elf is an unfiltered golden beauty that displays a pronounced yeast flavor that made The Mad Elf famous as well as a touch of alcohol and some mellow malt flavors.
Naked Elf was last available about 2 years ago. (I was told in the taproom last December it wasn’t made in 2010. It’s back this year as Scratch #46
OC Weekly just put out it’s Top 10 best beer labels from around the world. There are some surprises on the list. I’m not surprised by Left Hand Brewing making it, nor The Bruery.

Don’t have enough cash to start your own brewery? Ask for it. And that’s exactly what Nate & Mike, Wilderness Brewing founders did.
The duo used Kickstarter.com to help get the project off the ground. The website is is an online threshold pledge system for funding creative projects. “Kickstarter has funded a diverse array of endeavors, ranging from indie film and music to journalism and food-related projects.” Asking a mere $40,000, today they crossed their threshold.
We are passionate about better beer and the artistic expression present in the creation of the many beers we have brewed at home. We want to create a wider network of friends, family, and local community who can enjoy our artisan beer. In order to create that network we need to brew more than the five-gallon amounts that we currently make on the stove at home. Our project is to buy all the necessary equipment and obtain all the proper licensing we need in order to artistically brew our beer in 60-gallon amounts, known as “Nano Brewing.”
The brewery will be based out of Kansas City, Missouri. Check out their video appeal for funding.
As if Stone Brewing wasn’t busy enough building a bigger brewery, expanding to Europe, building stores, restaurants & hotels – Greg Koch & Steve Wagner (with Randy Clemens) also have a book on the way.
Liquid Lore, Epic Recipes, and Unabashed Arrogance debuts on October 18th. Months ago, Stone reached out through their blog asking for photos of their brewery/restaurants/etc to help fill the book. Pre-order the book online at Amazon. [Amazon]
