About
The founder of our brewery Ronnie “Blue” Earl Price is a man of simple tastes, always on the hunt for great music, gourmet food, and exceptional craft beer. The simplicity of the blues had always drawn him in, the soulfulness, the earthiness of the style made him feel good inside. Barbecue is to food as blues is to music he would always say, nothing fast about the blues or barbecue, too fast with the blues and you lose the feeling, too fast with barbecue and, well, it just ain't no good. Finding a good beer had always been a challenge. American beers had lost all their former goodness with mass production and mass marketing. They had lost the feeling. He decided that if it couldn't be bought, he would have to brew it himself.
And so he did. For many years he tweaked his recipes and shared his brews with family and friends. Winning awards and praise among his friends and the home brewing community, his passion for brewing became an obsession, and that obsession turned into the desire to bring these wonderful libations to the public. It wasn't easy getting started, but one by one the barriers have been brought down and we are now very proud to offer you, our friends and loyal fans, Blue Earl beers!
Cheers!

Bomber from brewery. Dark mahogany color, relatively flat. A bit of fruit sweetness and lots of caramel malts in the smell. Taste is honed in on the malts, with some brown sugar and plums in the background. Big, beefy barley wine done well.

Draft at brewery. Dark, inky black, small ring of head. Chocolate first in the aroma, some roast grains and coffee. Taste blends the chocolate and roast grains nicely, slick and oily. This would hold up in a barrel. Smooth.

Draft at brewery. Near black pour, kind of dull. Aroma is sharp and acetic. Taste is a bit smoother, but the honey send to be struggling with roast grain base. Good, but not easy to drink.
