History

Blue walrus beer began back in 1999. Two guys were sitting outside drinking a beer, when they decided that they could create a better tasting beer than the one they were drinking. Thus began what is now known as Blue Walrus Beer.

We started out by researching online for equipment, methods, and recipes for making homebrewed beer. Soon we ordered a “starter” kit from an online retailer.

After waiting anxiously for the kit to arrive, the day finally came and we were ready to begin making beer.

Not sure what we were doing, we read over the directions and proceeded to begin making our first batch of beer. We followed the steps and a few hours later we had five gallons of something that didn’t remotely resemble beer….yet. After a brief fermentation period, we were ready to put our beer into bottles. This proved to be the most difficult task so far. Nevertheless, soon we had 48 bottles of our own creation. All that was left was to wait another week for the beer to carbonate.

Although our first batch of homebrewed beer wasn’t the greatest, it was definitely a great achievement and the beginning to many days of homebrewing.

We’ve come a long way since that first batch of beer, but we will always remember the sense of accomplishment from drinking that first beer that we made.
