That we in fact are ready for our BIG REVEAL of the top secret information as to where and when our beers will be available for public sale.  If you have found this blog from our teasing captions all over our Website then you already know that we are joining forces with La Fontana's in Bloomsburg, PA.  What you may not know is that this specialty Italian gem in our small little town has been our family's favorite place to eat since the day it has opened.  When Larry began Brewing his beers he had shared a Rippinator with the owner of the restaurant and by then a close friend of ours.  Needless to say as all of our finely crafted beers have done, we won him and others in the staff over.  When Larry was ready to take this business into sales the whole team at La Fontana opened up their gracious arms and have decided to lease Larry a space in the basement to create his craft.

Purple Healer's first production system is the Brew-Magic Sabco system and will produce small batches (1.5 to 3 bbl to be exact) and as we grow so will the batches.

Larry is beginning the construction process this Sunday and hopes to have his system ready and of course the first round of brews available by the beginning of August (exact date will be posted on here and website).  We will be updating you with pictures of the construction process, any changes in the menu, and of course a few brewing stories to keep you busy while you count down the summer months to join us in this incredible adventure.

The opening menu is set to include Rippinator our award-winning Dopplebock, Auntie M Amber, a Golden Ale for sweet summertime sipping, and Larry's newest and finest creation, the Russian Imperial Stout.  To find descriptions of all the beers on this menu and other beers on this blog check out our site.

We are very excited to be able to have navigated our way through most of the legal spiderwebs involved in starting up a brewery and are incredibly appreciative of all YOUR support and patience as you anxiously await the day that you can freely order a beer instead of begging Larry for "free samples."  Trust me when I say that Larry is more than happy to sell you all of his beers during any meals you will be enjoying at our local Italian Gem of a restaurant.  May I recommend having the Rippinator with Rico's Spicy Arribata pasta or perhaps the Golden with one of his fine fresh market fish specialties...or maybe I should stop making your mouths water until it gets closer to August.

Many of you hop heads of this side of the Atlantic are probably familiar if not subscribing members of the Mid Atlantic Brewing Newsletter which comes out bi-monthly throughout the year.  Many brewers turn to this magazine to network, gather recipes, get their muse, or just to learn more about the craft.  Purple Healer is featured in this months edition on Page 24 with a lovely recognition of Rippinators claim to fame at "The Taming of the Brew" Festival in Bloomsburg, PA.

Don't have the magazine?  Do not fret you can read the digital copy right here.

Also a big shout-out and congratulations to Damien of Old Forge Brewery who also has a small write-up about his production adventures.

Way to go Rippinator, Larry, and everyone else at Purple Healer Brewing Co.
