Third Shift, Dayton Release

This Wednesday, October 10th, is the Dayton release of the Third Shift Band of Brewers Amber Lager.  What is Third Shift's Amber Lager?  It's a 2012 World Beer Cup award winner.  Who are the Band of Brewers?  This may surprise you, they are MillerCoors brewers who, in their free time, took on some brewing "experiments".  Amber Lager is one of them.

I'm usually a little hesitant when it comes to "stealth brews".  For instance, Blue Moon, yeah, it sounds like a specially craft brew, but it's really brewed by MillerCoors.  How about Shock Top?  Craft brewer?  Nope, Inbev.  So, what makes my interest in Third Shift different?  Easy, this is a project the MillerCoors brewers took up on their own.  It easily reminds me of Google's 20% rule.  Take one day out of the week and work on something outside of your job description.  Something you are passionate about.  In the case of the MillerCoors brewers, their "20%" is Third Shift and I think that's pretty cool.

So, if you want to join in the release fun, check out thirdshift.eventbrite.com for more information.  I will see you there!
