So, in fact, I nicked it from the macro- you can file that under Home/Craft brewers seek to gain a piece of the macro brewing pilot market. We didn't get a precise grain bill or yeast information or hop bill and only some guidelines about the elderflower addition. I hope to see 1 or 2 more pear beers out in the wild. Then it'll be a movement! But is it extreme? Stan, I got the idea from Ron Kloth of Papago Brewing who got the information at a brewer’s seminar presented by one of the AB pilot brewers.

Or perhaps it is just coincidence. Anyway, yes it at the Michelob Brewery (formerly the pilot brewery) within the Anheuser-Busch complex in St. Louis. My first mission was to talk about wheat beers, but they also had me taste three experimental beers that may never be served outside of a few festival and special events. The other two were an imperial stout and a double IPA brewed with 8% rye (<em>measured,</em> as opposed to claimed, IBUs of 99). Both well executed but finding those styles isn't hard these days. A Pear Beer on the other hand . . . I'll look forward to trying that during GABF. olllllo are you saying you got the Pear Beer idea from Michelob or that got it from you?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, Stan, either in Phoenix or Denver.

Pear and Elderflower sounds suspiciously like a beer that I brewed based on a third hand account of a brewer's seminar allegedly presented by a brewer from the AB pilot brewery. Have they no shame? ;) Hmmm.

One of my favorite breweries... partly because I grew up just down the road from there, I guess. No idea about Pear Beer, but enjoy Boulevard!
