A TRUE BREW CHAMPION

We at the Cricket Hill Blog team would just like to offer our condolences to Rick Reed. President and Brewmaster of the finest craft beer company on the planet. This guy is a true beer champion. You know a craft beer is good when the maker cares more about his beer than the money it puts in his pocket. This time we're not just talking about his famous slogan of "Drink what you can, sell the rest"; This time we're talking about a guy who cares more about the head of his beer, than his own head at all!
You read us correctly, Rick recently cut his head open and had to get 17 stitches while delivering beer to one of our loyal customers; who's business we still appreciate very much and look forward to bulding an even stronger relationship in the future. If thats not a true brew champion, I don't know what is. Now our customers and customers to be understand who really cares about their beer. Hope to see you soon at the tour, and as always, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BREWERY!

Touring Breweries from home...(Part 3)

Every day from now on the Cricket Hill blog team will post a new Picture of the Cricket Hill Facility with a description of the brewing process each machine facilitates. Our hope is to expand your knowledge of the brewing process, and show you the specific steps taken by our Head Brewer Dave, and the rest of the Cricket Hill Team


The bottling line


Empty bottles are fed onto a conveyor where they are inverted and rinsed with sanitary water. They are moved to the filler where they are filled with Cricket Hill Beer and capped. This particular line is capable of speeds up to 5600 bottles per hour.
