WILK Friday BeerBuzz–8 Apr 2011 (Purple Healer Brewing Co)

Many craft beer lovers dream about not only brewing their own beer, but they also dream about opening their very own brewery.  Today we were joined by Larry Degreen and Larry is living that dream.  Larry is the founder and brewmaster for Purple Healer Brewing Co in Bloomsburg, PA.  Purple Healer Brewing Co LLC is a nano-brewery “in progress” so it will be fun to follow along as Larry gets up to speed.

Today Larry was nice enough to bring up a few of his brews for us to try and we really enjoyed trying them all.  There’s something special about sampling a beer with the man or woman that brewed that beer, and you get a really special insight into not only the beer but the brewing process….and we really enjoyed all of the beers, but especially the Ripinator Doppelbock.

Larry will also be pouring Purple Healer Brewing beers at this weekends (April 9th) Taming of the Brew event in Bloomsburg.  Taming of the brew is a yearly beer & food event that benefits the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble.  Taming of the Brew attracts some great breweries and restaurants and the event sells out the day ticket sales open just about every year, so if you don’t have a ticket already, start planning for next year.

Thanks
to  Larry, Nancy, John, Joe, & Bosco for yet another fun Friday. 
The Friday BeerBuzz…bringing good beers and good people together.
