Rationally Creative Homebrews

March 29th, 2010 2 Comments

For the inaugural EatUpATL event at Lunacy Black Market we were very fortunate to have not only fantastic wines from Montaluce Vineyards, but some excellent homebrews from Mike Lorey of Rationally Creative. Mike brought three varieties of brews for guests to sample: Cotton mead, Chai-Spiced Cyser and Dunkelweizen. Mike’s passion for sustainable and locally grown food combined with his love of homebrew provided some excellent conversations among those in attendance. We would like to thank Mike for sharing his knowledge (and tasty brews) with everyone as it certainly contributed to the succcess of the evening. Please check out Mike’s post-event writeup on his blog: Spontaneous Fermentation at EatUpATL
