Miscellaneous
Do you brew with fiddleheads?
Ew.
Do you feel what I feel? Can we make that, so it’s part of the deal?
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel. Lay your heart on the line, this time.
What is the phrase on the bottom of your can mean?
We are big music fans at Fiddlehead. Every can has a reference either to Phish or the Grateful Dead. If you are trying to decipher specifically what a can is referencing, we highly suggest listening to more Phish and the Grateful Dead. If you are still trying to decipher, send an email to info@fiddleheadbrewing.com.
Can you give any pointers for my home brew clone?
No. Actually, yes. Don’t give it to your friends as gifts. No one wants to drink your peppermint stout with pumpkin seeds.
