Larry Speaks with WILK and Friends on MYbeerbuzz on the Radio

Today has two monumental occasions to celebrate, Larry the Brewmasters birthday and Purple Healers first on-air radio interview with 103.1 WILK.
Interviewing Larry was WILK's radio personalities: Nancy, John, Joe, and Bosco as well as Bill from MyBeerBuzz.  During this really special interview everyone got a taste of the Munich Helles, Auntie M's amber ale, and Rippinator.  John Webster and Bill were big fans of the ales but sadly disappointed that the IPA was still in the fermentation process. No need to be sad John and Bill, that IPA will be ready shortly and I'm pretty sure there will be two bottles with your names on them as soon as the reach bubbly perfection.  Nancy couldn't get enough of the Rippinator and was eager to have more than just a taste of the beer.  All in all I think Purple Healer has a new group of fans and we are more than eager to deliver our beers to the public soon.  In fact if you watch the interview here you will see that the largest amount of excitement was over the question of WHEN will our beers be available for sale?  I wish I had the exact answer to post here but for that question all I can say is that the business ball is rolling and we are going downhill.  When all of our carbonation is set perfectly (like the IPA) we will be sure to share that information with all of you!  Thank you to everyone in the production process of this very special day for our company.

One question we get a lot (including today) involves HOW did we even come up with such a crazy name.  As Larry described in his interview, every beer, story, name, and idea stems from something from our family.  "Ping" our family's newest Australian cattle dog was bred from a Blue Heeler breed and a Red Heeler Breed dog.  Of course when you mix those two colors you get purple so we called her our little Purple Heeler.  We thought the name was so cool that when Larry started brewing our fine beers he was going to call them Purple Healers (changing the spelling because we believe beer is much more "healing" than anything.

And as for "Rippinator...."
It is based off the name of our other cattle dog, Ripley contrary to all other ideas that it involves that funny bodily function or off of "getting ripped" from our beers.  However we like that everyone comes up with some crazy ideas for it and honestly our beers mean something to our families and earned their name but you may call them whatever you like for whatever reason you want as long as you call them tasty (because really they are not that I'm not bias to the beer or anything).

Tomorrow we will be at "Taming of the Brew" at the Caldwell Consistory in Bloomsburg Pa and if you were luck enough to get a ticket to the sold out event we will see you there, if not do not fret, pictures will be exclusively available to our fans right here!
