Experimental Adventures in Brewing: Part 1

While sitting in the office working, I had a side discussion about Philadelphia soft pretzels. Everywhere I've ever been except for Philly has no such thing as soft pretzels that are four for a dollar. The Philly soft pretzels are also nice and dense and tasty. Well, during this discussion, it also came up that I'm getting into brewing. My coworker wondered aloud how a soft pretzel beer might taste. I decided then and there that I'd like to try it!

The beer, which I'm dubbing "Four for a Dollar," is currently fermenting. We (Amanda and I) started with an American Wheat beer recipe and added Philly soft pretzels from our recent Thanksgiving trip up there to see family. Ultimately, I'm hoping I can taste the pretzel. If not, I think we'll have a pretty tasty wheat beer, so I guess we can't really lose on this one. Stay tuned...
