Bierkrug by Mumford Brewing, in collaboration with Our Mutual Friend Brewing Company, is a crisp and hoppy version of a German style Oktoberfest. Started by brothers Peter and Tom Mumford (no relation to the band), they started out homebrewing because their Dad was actually a homebrewer back in the ’70s. After a couple of years into their own homebrewing, they began to think that they were doing something that would make a worthwhile endeavor in the real world and started planning their brewery. Although the number of breweries in Los Angeles County has grown considerably since they first opened, and with the San Diego area having over 100 operating craft breweries, they felt there was definitely an unmet need at the time for LA to have more craft beer. This week on FDB - vomiting buzzards, a fruity lawsuit, a desperate need to pee, and more! Now please kick back, and enjoy another sit down with Friends Drink Beer.

Zombie Dreams was created with the idea of bringing the flavors and notes of a cranberry mimosa to beer. After letting their in-house lactobacillus culture sour their wort, they added cranberry puree and Sauvignon Blanc grape juice to the fermentation. This resulted in smooth aromas of sweet cranberry with hints of tropical fruit. On the palate, the carbonation brings forth the mix of fruit during fermentation with a backend acidity to round things off. Mikkeller Brewing started when Mikkel and his childhood friend, Keller, began working on a series of ‘physics experiments’ using malt, hops, and yeast in their home kitchens in Copenhagen. The kitchen experiments lasted for two and a half years and while they continued, Mikkel and Keller also began brewing beer on a larger scale at the Danish microbrewery Ørbæk. In the beginning of 2007, Keller left Mikkeller to pursue a career as the editor of a music magazine, while Mikkel remained on his own to continue pursuing his dream of taking Mikkeller to another level. Mikkeller's growth was rapid, and in 2010 Mikkel decided to bid farewell to his students and colleagues at the school he taught at and decided to commit himself full-time to the brewery.

The Monkster Mash is a red-amber ale brewed with real pumpkin and a touch of spice. Gentle carbonation animates the rounded mouthfeel and it closes clean with a smooth finish. In their community, each monk’s work is assigned after matching up community need and the individual's interests and abilities. A few years ago, one of their brothers expressed interest in brewing and even did some training at a local craft brewery. Over time, his passion for brewing affected some other monks, who recognized that brewing was a very traditional monastic enterprise. Thus, when the time came to re-chart the economic path for the monastery’s future, the idea of a brewery gained traction, and the monks eventually voted on building America’s first Trappist brewery. Observing Trappist tradition, they have named the brewery, and the beer, Spencer after their beloved town of Spencer, MA.
