Dionysus Brewing

Don't see how the Parabajava incident relates to Dionysus... Guy was a friend of the brewer and not affiliated with the brewery in any way. Why bring it up?

 

Well, regardless of the implication that the friend was helping/mule for him at Paso, some serious discussion should be had about the way the website is written.

 

Maybe the parabajavas are the bottle release for the members since they're still waiting on the license?

 

He implied (though he didn't say specifically) that said brewer may have been involved in their little bottle obtaining scheme.

I doubt said brewer was involved in the bottle resale scheme, though. Nobody is that stupid, are they? LOL

 

Maybe their first bottle release will be a 50 bottle count BA coffee stout...

 

I heard they'll use 500ml and turn that shit up to 75!

 

12oz bottles of Parabajava would be awesome.

 

Any updates guys? Wondering why the license from July 9th is still pending?

 

RUHHHROHHH

 

I believe they just had their ABC inspection this past Friday and should be passing. There should be an official update very soon.

 

Parabajava on tap for grand opening?

 

I agree, I had some on tap and didn't really think they were outstanding. They were average, certainly better than some that I have had. The Saison and Stout was nothing to write home about. But they didn't have any off flavors or anything bad. They just weren't flavorful and complex.

 

Appears as though Dionysus has received ABC approval. Looks like they're an official brewery now.

 

where did u see they got abc approval?

ABC approval was issued on 1/28/2016! Definitely took longer than expected but that is okay! Opening a brewery is no easy task, as you can tell, but we are right here ready to get this thing rolling! With our beers, we will be aging them much longer than our home brew batches. Getting the name out there and creating a buzz was important to us. Now that we have a place that is damn near ready to go, we want to create a fully complex and flavorful array of beers. Of course not every beer will cost $20 a bottle. I believe that is the highest price point we can charge. We fully expect to be able to sell our sours (750mL) from $12-$16 on average. We will for sure get in the groove as time goes on and see what people enjoy the most so we can produce more of it! We need guys like everyone here to help us along the way because we believe that listening to our customers will help our business grow and in return will help with fine tuning our recipes for our beers to become better and better! Without you guys, we are nothing! Glad you guys were able to follow the process and if you guys ever have any questions, never hesitate to ask!

 

on the facebook page it says the first beer is already in barrel, my question is which one is it and when is it anticipated to be ready to bottle?

 

The first batch is our Rosé Sauvage and it is a golden sour (2-row, white wheat, torrified wheat, rolled oats, Caramel 10L, and Vienna w/ Fuggle hops) that has been aging in French Oak Rose barrels from Foxen Winery. The fruit was added 3 weeks ago and we saw subtle fermentation from the added sugar. BUT, 2 days ago I noticed that one of the barrel was just going absolutely crazy and pushing out the pulp from the top from a very vigorous fermentation. Once the fermentation halts again, we will order the bottles and start filling them ASAP. I would say (just from the top of my head) that the barrels will be ready in 2-3 weeks. Of course, I will be doing a sensory test and hydrometer test to make sure the gravity is stable. This is a beautiful beer and should sit at 6.5% ABV! We cannot wait for you and everyone else to try it!

 

The first public pourings of Dionysus beer is happening next week! March 3rd at 5pm at Imbibe Wine & Spirits at 4140 Truxtun Avenue in Bakersfield. They will be pouring Funkadelic Gose and possibly something else.

 

Parabajava?
