Weizenbock. It wants to ferment hot but if you keep it cool and let it lager, it becomes deep in flavor. All of its unusual parts make it layered and fun…with a kick.
I made a tea with Elderflower to pitch into a Saison. The brewery smelled like Italian Meatballs, which freaked me out, but the beer luckily turned out to taste nothing like that.
In July of 2023 the island had a black out that lasted 15 hours at the brewery. We were 10 cases into a 100 case canning run and I was 5 minutes from flame out in the kettle. Literal nightmare.
Atlas Shrugged…because…Who is John Galt?

From the wintry land of the 26th state where frozen hockey ponds and ice fishing holes run a plenty and the pines rise high enough to kiss the stars, young baby Andrew was born on a cold December evening. After many toe drags and coney dogs, a Faygo drinking boy that grew into a Two Hearted drinking man, decided it was time to adventure out to the Golden State where he grew his hunger for the multifarious art of home brewing.
Following some success, and drinking some of the failures, he decided to go work for The Lion & The Bear to try and sharpen his mash paddle a little more finely. After falling madly in love with a beautiful woman, they moved their happy little family to the always highly regarded state of New Jersey.
On the joyous journey to find a great beer in his new town, a now much older (and much wiser, well, a little wiser) Drew found a beer as delicate as a flower. It made him have a strong desire to work for this brewery that has been producing liquid gold. The brewery was Mudhen. The rest is history.
Colin grew up in Connecticut without a trust fund, and his connection to Cape May County began in the early 1980s when his family started spending summer vacations in Stone Harbor. Colin and his wife Lynn moved to Cape May Court House in 2013. Colin’s professional life has been a nationwide journey. In the early 2000s, he pursued a career in golf, earning an associate degree in Golf Course Management.
He was a Golf Professional for twelve years in Arizona and Vermont, where he learned to homebrew beer. In 2013, Colin left the golf industry and moved to Cape May County, pursuing a career in craft beer. He worked for 7 Mile Brewery and has successfully sold craft beer, wine, and spirits for local brands and a NJ distributor over the past eight years.
In January 2023, Colin became MudHen’s Director of Sales & Distribution. Although his main tasks are outside the building, he enjoys the creative collaborations and teamwork with his colleagues at MudHen Brewing. To ensure he remains a valued member of the Brew Crew, Colin constantly subjects himself to “quality control” tests of all the MudHen beers.
Stout, because I’m very self aware.
Back when I was home brewing I used a combination of cherry, chocolate and coffee. It came out well enough but I quickly started selling beer instead.
The first batch of homebrew I made I hadn’t invested in a wort chiller yet because it was winter in Vermont. I stuck the wort in the snow thinking it would cool down relatively quickly…4 hours later I still had 10 degrees to go.
I’d make a White Russian Imperial Stout, because I’m The Dude.
Free beer tomorrow
Something that comes in a wrapper while driving to work.
Aquarius
