062 - Common John Brewing Co. 2nd Anniversary Festival Details and Beer Tasting!

The Foamy Heads

Jon and LeBron Invite the Foamy Heads onsite to discuss Common John Brewing Co beers and to relay some details of their upcoming beer festival! There's so many great things happening and we had to talk to them about it.

Located in Manchester, TN, Common John Brewing Co was birthed out of the desire to bring their homebrews to the masses. What they didn't expect was that their beer and presence would catch on quick. After just 2 years of being open, they own a massive space with lots of scenery, sitting, and space for live events- which will house their HUGE 2nd-year anniversary family reunion on Saturday, October 1st.

Beers Consumed:

1. Slow Down, Easy (Chapter VI): the 6th release of their hazy IPA series, coming in at a respectable easy 6.2% ABV. Produced with thiol boosting yeast to enhance the passion fruit, guava, and grapefruit aroma compounds from the hops. Hopped with Cryo Pop, Citra (Rich's favorite), and a new Vista hop (which Rich and Mitch hadn't heard of up to this point).
2. The Darkness Callin': Black IPA/Cascadian Dark Ale: this almost 7% ABV Black IPA is the first release of its kind from Common John. Noticeably hoppier than other Black IPAs, this one was a hit with both Mitch and Rich!
3. Straight & Narrow Colden Ale: easy drinking 4.2% golden ale that can be found on tap every day at CJBC. LeBron says this beer is so popular that if he stopped brewing it, he'd be dragged out to the parking lot and get knocked out!
4. Better in the Fall Festbier: A brew golden in color all while being soft, sweet, and light. this 6% brew goes down easy and is great for the changing of the seasons!
5. Heathen Child Vienna Lager: Intended to be a one-off, (read as the "Heathen Child"), the boys caved to the demand to bring this brew back. Slightly darker and higher in ABV than the traditional Vienna lager, this beer drinks smooth and packs a ton of flavor.
6. Damage Control Pale Ale: Packed with Amarillo and Cascade hops, this 5.7% ABV and 50 IBU brew is the quintessential pale ale designed to make you forget about your worries.
7. Deeper Purpose Porter: A slightly dry Porter with a touch of bitterness and full-bodied chocolate. At 5% ABV, it goes down easy but is a great sipper at the same time
