Whole Hog Brewery has been active since June of 2008; just not active on the blog. Here is a quick punch list of activities in the meantime:
Circa June 2008 to July 2008 two brews commissioned, Golden Pig Redux and Red Light Special. Golden Pig Redux was brewed to emulate the success of Golden Pig Lager celebrating the year of the Pig and Brewmaster Jeff, and Rev. Chow trips to Singapore.
Circa August 2008, Recording keeping is sparse but two brews are commissioned: an IPA and a scotch Ale. The IPA was Whole Hog's first and as the Brewmaster Jeff said "it was damn good." The beer lasted one day during a cookout at the Brewery premises. The scotch ale was a practice run for the 2009 Big Batch Brew Bash competion featuring Scotch Heavy Ales with which Whole Hog had prior experience (see "if it’s not Scottish its crap!"). Around this time, Boulevard Brewery of Kansas City enters the Houston market, with which assistant brew master has history.
Circa September 2008, Assistant Brewmaster David travels to the Frigid North for a short assignment in Calgary Alberta. There he enjoys Big Rock brewery's finest especially their "Grasshopper" (he secretly misses Miller Lite and secretly enjoys Molson). He also makes some good friends and good memories.
Circa March 2009, over the course of Reverend Chow's travels he stops at River City Brewery of Wichita, Kansas and enjoys the "tornado alley IPA" and "Emerald City Stout."
