When Life Throws You Grain, You Mill It Brewing, Community, & a Surprise Workout
So what happens when your brewer (aka my husband) throws out his back for five days? You roll up your sleeves and start slinging grain! Turns out, brewing is a full-body workout (who needs a gym when you’ve got a mountain of 25-pound malt bags?). I jumped in to mill Admiral Maltings grain—sourced from small California farms—because at Gyppo, we mill every batch ourselves for the freshest, best-tasting beer. Most places skip this step, but we like to keep things hands-on—because craft isn’t just a word, it’s a way of life. And honestly? It felt good to be part of the process. Heavy lifting, a little sweat, and a whole lot of love—just like everything we do here.
Come grab a pint that’s as fresh as it gets—crafted with care, community, and maybe just a little bit of muscle. 🍻
