A Brief History of Off Color Brewing (ahem) - At some point John and Dave were born. They did other stuff for a while and then they figured out they were better at making beer than at the other stuff. So that's what they do now. They met while both studied at the oldest and most respected brewing school (of the two...and by the brewers that went to the one) in the US, the Siebel Institute, in 2008 and the brewery was envisioned while they both interned at Metropolitan Brewing afterwards. After cutting their teeth at larger breweries, the two somehow convinced enough otherwise-very-smart-people to invest enough money for them to buy some big shiny things to make their own beer in. So that's what they do now. The end. (bows)

Silly People is a sour ale made with a recipe that provides a complex experience featuring notes of lactic acid, lemon juice, and grapefruit juice; balanced by a rising bread body and enhanced by a mouthful of salinity from French grey sea salt.

This week on FDB - a Canadian island fights to be heard, very pure cocaine in France, Lebron’s left hangin’, and more!

Now please kick back, and enjoy another sit down with Friends Drink Beer.
