We like to ferment things. Lots of things. Our idea of excitement is running around the yard screaming and yelling and waving packets of yeast, trying to find something sugary to sprinkle it on. And above all else, we’re about having fun, which makes us happy. And wanting to be happy makes us want to make you, the customer, happy. Because when you are happy, we are happy. And following our philoso
phy of wanting everyone to be happy, don’t expect to find here some mind-numbing, teeth-grinding, sleep-inducing corporate-speak mission statement, (okay, if you’re quasi-masochistic and want to read some dull stuff, you can find a splattering of that jazz in our policies section, but very little and still sprinkled with fun), but you can expect us to do what we do best, and that is offering you, a fellow devotee of the fermentation arts, really awesome stuff served with pride and sprinkled with no shortage of fun. And because we’re all a bunch of corporate dropouts, we take pride in not having to work for The Man, or better yet, whenever possible, getting to stick it to The Man. Of course, technically speaking, being self-employed makes us The Man, so I suppose we gain some strange satisfaction in sticking it to ourselves. Regardless, fermenting things is a hobby, and our hobbies should be fun. So thanks for trudging through this painfully dull philosophy statement, and let us do our best to make your fermentation endeavors a happy experience!

Well, at least the cold beer never gets old, but the beauty here is that with more cold beer, Dad gets funnier and funnier until he seems like a stand up comedian! Yay, beer!

Water is fine, but when I imagine the winter's snowpack melting in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and cascading down a mountain stream, I actually imagine a stream of beer filling my glass. See how that works - imagination working in our favor. And what better than a glass of Snowy Mountains Pale Ale, our clone recipe for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Check it out: https://boomchugalug.com/products/snowy-mountains-american-pale-ale-extract-beer-recipe-kit

Mmm, salad greens... Suddenly those hops are looking tasty. I'm sure in some parallel universe a great story began with someone eating a salad, but in this universe, I'd guess the great story began with someone drinking a Citra Saison. Doesn't that sound great for the summer? https://boomchugalug.com/products/who-dat-party-cat-citra-saison-extract-beer-recipe-kit
Life is all about balance, after all, and isn't it funny how a beer in each hand creates balance, but if you repeat this experiment numerous times, you lose your balance? And if you're looking for balance, then a session IPA should help you with your experiments while decreasing your odds of falling over. And what you you say to a nice session IPA? Personally, I'd say "Absof**kinglutely!": https://boomchugalug.com/collections/5-gallon-extract-beer-recipes/products/absof**kinglutely-session-ipa-extract-beer-recipe-kit
Lazy Daze Lemonade Golden Ale Extract Beer Recipe Kit
Refreshing, light body and crisp, this delightful summer sipper has a lemony citrus flavor with a touch of sweetness that is balanced out by a mild hop bitterness. The beer has a moderately low level of alcohol, making it an excellent session beer on a hot summer day.

I like to think of myself as an amiable person with an inquisitive mind, and I appreciate thoughtful questions, but in this case, I guess I'll have to label myself as a "Yes Man", and I guess I'm a polite yes man, because I'll even say "Yes please", and "Yes, thank you!" And on a sad note after the closure of Anchor Brewery, which began in 1896, we can still say "yes" to our own home brewed clone recipe of Anchor Steam Beer: https://boomchugalug.com/collections/california-common-extract-beer-recipe-kits/products/will-o-the-wisp-steam-extract-beer-recipe-kit
And thus is the power of optimism. Or should we say, "hoptimism"? And if you're into self-improvement, this shows that there's always room to improve. And the more you improve, the better you are, which proves the argument that you should drink more beer. And if you're looking for something hoppy but balanced and not over the top, then check out "Daredevil American IPA", which showcases Cascade hops, proving that the classics are classics for a reason: https://boomchugalug.com/collections/5-gallon-extract-beer-recipes/products/daredevil-american-i-p-a-extract-beer-recipe-kit
