Named for both my favorite number and this new year… the nose is replete with juiciosity, then the juice shines through with hints of OJ, pineapple and mango. I knocked it out of the park with this beauty!!!

Brian Connolly is drinking a Pure(e) Genius by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
Lovely home brew original recipe stout, the chilis are apparent but subtle, as is the faint raspberry essence. Good complexity that will continue to mellow with age.

Brian Connolly is drinking a Ring of Bright Water by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
Just tapped my latest original recipe and… it kicked ass! Slightly darker haze (7.5 SRM), with a great Golden Promise heavy malt bill, then the hop combo melds beautifully together to create a deep, complex brew with layers of juiciness.Damn near perfect!

Brian Connolly: It is (in my humble opinion).
Steve Connolly: Brian C. Is there a story behind this name?
Brian Connolly: It was a movie I saw with mom in the theater when I was a little kid… about Otters. It popped into my mind when I created this recipe for NO reason but… I guess there was a reason… it named this beer! Cheers Mom.
Rick Connolly: Great story. Cheers.
Janice Abbott: That is a great story, I remember you loved otters! Congrats on another great home brew. When are you opening your microbrewery?
Brian Connolly: The 12th of never… 😉
Brian Connolly is drinking a Zoe’s Kitchen Sink by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
Just tapped my new original homebrew to help me try & deal with my lagging METS. Fabulous nose, soft mouthfeel then beautifully juicy with peppery nuances. Wonderful, especially before tonight’s Gov’t Mule concert. Let’s Go Mets (PLEASE)!

Brian Connolly is drinking a This Is Total BS! by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
My original recipe to try & create something akin to the great “Trappists Rochefort 8”. I think I NAILED IT! Full Belgian flavor, but not overly boozy at over 9.7% ABV, but still has those classic Belgian flavors with no off-tastes. Winner!

Brian Connolly is drinking a Family Reunion by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
My Family Reunion NEIPA, with my… family reunion! Boys only in the photo, but all are here. I hit my mark, pineapple/orange juicy, flavorful NO hop bite, just the way my family likes it. Sadly, 5 gallons DONE in 2.5 days!!! Ughh.

Made specifically for the Connolly family reunion. This is really good. Fruity, juicy, and not the least bit piney. Well done Brian!

Brian Connolly is drinking a Season of Opportunities by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
My latest original home-brew recipe. Juicy yes, but a formidably piney-hope-bite on the short finish… wasn’t expecting that.

Rick Connolly: I'm not a fan of the piney stuff.
Brian Connolly: Yeah, this particular recipe would fall flat with all my siblings. Fear not, I’m brewing a new recipe called “Family Reunion” on Sunday, it will be ready prior to your visit!
Janice Abbott: Hmmm 🤔 sorry about that
Brian Connolly is drinking a TBD IPA by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
Excited for THE METS season opener… this original recipe DDHXXNEIPA at 8.2% is balanced beautifully, with juicy layers of pineapple and a hint of spiced lime. No hop nip at the end. One of my best, this beers rocks. LET’S GO METS!!

Brian Connolly is drinking a Bear’s Secret by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
FLW. My latest original home-brew. Lovely nose, softish mouthfeel, with zippy essences of citrus and a powerful hop presence, especially on the long finish, I was not expecting that. Big flavors! (Really 3.875)

Brian Connolly is drinking a Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
Frank Zappa influenced hazy this time, thus the name. The juiciness is more lemon/lime with emphasis on lime, with a bit of cantaloup thrown in. Slightly rough on the finish. That’s ok, I’m brewing again tomorrow with new original recipe! (Really 3.85)

Steve Connolly: I didn’t know you liked cantaloupe.
Janice Abbott: Fun!
Brian Connolly: Steve, you are right, I don’t like to eat any Mellon, but I’ve tasted it, this has essence of it. Apparently, when it’s in beer, it’s good, at least to me!
Brian Connolly: After a few days in my keg, it has smoothed-out significantly. The slight harshness has dissipated and flavors are more pronounced. MUCH better, raising my score. (Really 4.12)
Brian Connolly is drinking a Six Degrees of Hoppiness by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
Loss of power/heater during fermentation took a toll on the yeast strain but, still a fine DDHXXNEIPA. More dank than I anticipated, with a hint of pith on the finish, but still full bodied and flavorful.

Brian Connolly is drinking an I Love Leftovers, Too! by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
Another homebrew unavailing. A slightly lighter version of my last brew, it’s still rocking it with overt pineapple juiciness upfront after a great nose. Smooth finish. It’s really good, but I like the heavier (original) version a bit more. CHEERS!

Brian Connolly is drinking an I Love Leftovers! by B & Z Connolly Homebrewing at Untappd at Home
Having the dregs of my best homebrew ever. Saved it so Owen could try it. He loved it too! Even 3 months after brew-day it’s better than ever. Humbly, I am upping my score.

I NAILED this DDHXXNEIPA. Was going for pineapple loveliness with no hop nip, and this delivered and more. Maybe my best homebrew effort, great complexity, flavor & the 7.61% ABV doesn’t hurt either! Even better sharing with Ken watching RUTGERS!

My first TOTALLY original home-brew recipe. I was going for heavy notes of pineapple and I completely nailed it! Super pineapple juiciness with a small but definite hop nip at the end. Best beer to welcome 2021. HAPPY NEW BEER!!!
