The Dragonfyre Association is a collective of unique individuals who share a deep and abiding passion for several things. Beer, games, and movies are primary among these. Formed in 1995 under the less-than inspired name of The Red Dragon Club, it morphed several years later into Clan Linnorm (taken from the linnorm dragons found in the 1st Annual Monstrous Compendium for AD&D). Somewhere around 2000 or 2001 the name was changed to the Dragonfyre Gaming Association, or DFGA for short. We are a closeknit group of friends living in the western suburbs of Minneapolis, MN.

Gearing Up for New Beer

W00t for b33r! Or something like that. I actually hate leet speak or however crazy way it's spelled. It won't happen again.

The next beer to be brewed by the fine craftsmen at Dragonfyre Brewing is going to be a California Steam Beer, which is a lager brewed at ale temperatures. Lager's tend to have a crisper, lighter flavor than a traditional ale, but they are difficult for the home brewer to produce because they require fermentation in a moderated cold environment (around 45 to 50 degrees). This Steam Beer from Midwest uses ale yeast that PREFERS colder fermentation but should be fine around 60 degrees or so.

We should start the brewing of this steam beer next Friday or Saturday (1/18 or 1/19) depending on brewmaster availability.
