Big Dan's Brew Shed

What's New At The Shed

February 2015

Featured Recipe - Brew Shed Irish Stout - Brew this month to have ready for your St. Patty's Day party! An easy drinking session stout, dry and roasty with hints of chocolate. Its also a new year for the CBoY (Carolina Brewer of the Year) circuit, which is comprised of 6 regional competitions throughout the year. First up, the Shamrock! Keep a lookout on our competition helper in the lower right corner and let us know how we can help you score some ribbons!

Well, it’s been pretty busy here at The Shed in the past few months. We’ve had an overwhelming showing of support and it seems folks like what we’re doing with our shop. We’ve had a lot of support from our old friends, and thanks to your referrals, we've met a lot of new ones. Honestly, I’m a little surprised at how many homebrewers there are in the Triad. I’m also happy to add that there are even more GREAT brewers than I suspected!

Thanks to your feedback, we are continuing to add new products and are receiving new items in every day. Our selection of brewing, kegging, and draft equipment is growing. We are continuing to add new hop, yeast, and malt varieties. And, we now exchange out CO2 cylinders.

Another big addition is wine. Big Dan’s is proud to carry Cellar Craft, Heron Bay, and Cheeky Monkey wine kits. These high quality kits will make 6 gallons of your favorite wine. We will also be carrying a full line of bottles, corks, corkers, and equipment to help you make great wine at home. (We’re not changing our name, though; Big Dan’s Chateau du Vin doesn’t have the same ring to it…)

So, stop in and check us out if you haven’t already, and come back and see how we’ve grown if you have. Thanks for dropping by The Shed!
