Recipe: Nero Kirin

Thunder, Boomer, and the Rook met again. Twas a joyous reunion, filled with laughter, cheer, and love. Drank 60 minute, H.I.P.A., and Hop Devil. We brewed a Japanese Styler Lager in the stylings of Kirin. Using golden light DME, Rice Solids, Hallertauer, and Saaz - she developed nicely. The biggest of achievement of the evening was the bottling of Fat Wanda's Thunder Mover in just 57 minutes flat, including a cleaning and polishing of the gear. They were headed for one crazy ride, of which the details we may never know. Ok, they're right here.

That's what we fuckin' do!
