I've enjoyed Pulaski Porter from the start and will look at it a little differently from here on.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231708793047164728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789928159152160558.post-12177331974889882402012-02-17T12:02:32.679-07:002012-02-17T12:02:32.679-07:00To Anon: Excellent observation and thanks for poin...To Anon: Excellent observation and thanks for pointing that out. We reprinted the name of the beer as it was presented in the materials for the event, but agree that the description is not correct. I do not know whether that was Blacksmith's description or the event's.

Zythos is a "branded" blend of several hop varieties produced by Hopunion to approximate the bitterness, flavors, and aromas of hard to get varieties such as Simcoe, Citra, and Amarillo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789928159152160558.post-26785953238378182722012-02-16T20:16:11.578-07:002012-02-16T20:16:11.578-07:00Blacksmith's Pulaski Porter is actually named ...Blacksmith's Pulaski Porter is actually named for Brewer Mike Howard's big brother Chad Howard. Chad was a devoted wildland firefighter. He was a Lolo Hotshot as well as on the Krassel Helitack crew. Mike's Belgian Trippel won the People's Choice award at the Montana Brewer's Association Brewfest last winter and he donated the winnings to The Wildland Firefighter's Foundation. Pulaski Porter represents Mike's love for his brother and his passionate desire to fight cancer one beer at a time.Imaginerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15172217028956472145noreply@blogger.com
