šŗš„: 4.30am. Thatās what time head brewer Scott gets up to wake the beer monster. Everything is quiet. Still. Cold. Thereās a little feeling of anticipation
that somethingās going to come to life today. Something new will exist that didnāt before. Fresh Beer.
When Scott gets to the brewhouse no one else is around. The only noise is a bit of bubbling in the fermenter. The sparrows arenāt even farting yet.
Waiting, is the monster. The Boiler. Scott pokes it awake.
āThat first shot of steam out is like a dragon snorting, going āwhat do you want?!āā Scott says. āIt all groans and rises. I get up onto the brew deck
to check the pipes. Get things ready for feeding time.ā
But what does the beer monster eat? What does it smell like? Taste like?
Stay tuned to find out in the next instalment of Balterās Beer Snacks šŗš„
