Thanks for keeping beer in the category of recession-resistant!!
We’ve officially made the transition to organic base malt used in every (512) ale!! This base malt (malted 2-row barley) makes up 80-90% of all ingredients used to make the (512) PALE, IPA and PORTER and 50% of the WIT.
This has been my desire from the beginning and because of the continued success and growth of (512) Brewing Company, I’m now able to make this important transition starting immediately. We just received our first organic grain shipment yesterday and we’re brewing with it TODAY!
Rest assured, this will not change any of the beers. The organic malt is the same grain malted by the same company, simply organically grown and certified organic by USDA.
So, although it won’t show up on the label or tap handle for a while, when you ask for (512) beers in the future, enjoy the fact that the they’re made using organic ingredients!
Thanks for supporting (512)! Join the email list and look for some more events at the brewery soon. Also, please fell free to email me anytime with questions, feedback, comments and suggestions. kevin@512brewing.com

Yes, Sir. The (512) PECAN PORTER was released today. Look for it around town and ask for it where ever you go. We think this porter is sure to please. Local pecans that show up in the nose and more subtly in the flavor, make this a delightful fall seasonal. So, get out there, support your local breweries and bars, and ask for (512)!

While Pierre was here most recently, a Belgian journalist and author, Christian Deglas, accompanied him. Christian wrote The Classic Beers of Belgium and is clearly a Belgian beer aficionado and legendary critic. He evidently plans a similar article to be published in Belgium. When that materializes, I’ll be sure to post the link.
Thanks to Pierre and Christine for their input and words of encouragement to (512)!
ASK FOR THE WIT ALL AROUND TOWN!!! It’s not a seasonal beer – it’s a (512) staple!
Also, look for some upcoming (512) events!!!!

Pierre Celis and his daughter, Christine, graced the brewery with their presence this past Thursday to witness us brewing the (512) WIT. For anyone who may be new to beer, Pierre re-introduced the world to the Belgian White Beer style in 1966 when he opened the Hoegaarden brewery and later brought this style to Texas when he brewed the infamous beer, Celis White, right here in Austin from 1992-2000.
Pierre was willing to share some secrets and compare notes on the style. I can’t say how honored I was to have him at the brewery to taste the (512) WIT and to just talk beer. He actually claimed the (512) WIT is better than today’s Hoegaarden (no longer under his control). Oh, if I could have only gotten my hands on one of those original white beers he made. We agreed that the secret ingredient was heart and he said he senses mine is in the right place.
Needless to say, the (512) WIT will never be quite the same. Pierre is a legend and his visit and input leaves a lasting impression that will impact every batch moving forward….

That’s right, the first seasonal offering (of many to come ) from (512) Brewing Company was brewed this week. It’s a Robust Porter brewed with Pecans. Look for this beer to be released sometime in late October – We can’t release it until there’s at least a hint of cool weather in the air!
This nearly black Porter is made with US 2-row and Crystal malts along with Baird’s Chocolate and Black malts. Mild smooth hop bitterness is contrasted with sharp black malt bitterness. It has a full body and malty sweetness balanced with subtle pecan aroma and flavor from locally grown pecans. Yet another true Austin original!
I can’t wait to unveil this beer! Here’s a photo of what’s to come:

The Austin Chronicle recently recognized (512) Brewing Company in the September 12th issue. Hopefully I’ll make a WIT beer convert out of Lee Nichols, the author. I’m sure he’ll be hooked after a full pint.
