For some, starting a business with two of your best friends might sound like a bad idea, utter chaos, disaster waiting to happen. But somehow, between the games of beer pong and impromptu sword fights (they swear the swords are magical), the guys at Blue Nose Brewery in Chicago have figured out how to make it work. They’re brewing incredible beer and having fun while doing it.<\/p>\n

Eight months ago, friends Nathan Garcia, Jordan Isenberg and David Kelley decided to take their love and knowledge of craft beer to the next level. So with David\u2019s expertise and love for brewing, and Nathan and Jordan\u2019s knowledge of the Chicago craft beer scene, they have compiled the perfect storm of talents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all big beer guys, we kind of met and hit if off,\u201d said Jordan. \u201cFour months later, we were brewing beer. We are all best friends, and we all chose each other for unique skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been helping other brewing companies for so long, eventually we sat down and were like, \u2018You know the business, you know how to do this,\u2019\u201d said David, a former brewing consultant.<\/p>\n

Currently, their brewing facility in Justice, a southwest Chicago suburb, is nothing fancy. They are brewing at a modest 15-gallon capacity. But the feeling and the vibe of the brewery is something to behold. Spend just five minutes with these guys and you can tell that something truly special is taking place.<\/p>\n

Stick around for longer than five minutes and you may get David, the Stephen Hawking of brewing as Jordan calls him, talking about his brewing background and philosophy.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake care of the yeast and they\u2019ll take care of you\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

David, the head brewer at Blue Nose, is a self-admitted nerd.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been hugely passionate. Before I was a brewer, I was a big nerd,\u201d he said. \u201cI loved biology and chemistry, I wanted to mix anything I could together and wanted to learn every kind of organism. The thing that fascinated me more than anything was yeast.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to David, there are more than 2,000 varieties of yeast that can produce alcohol and, as he says, the amount that yeast can accomplish as a single cellular organism is mind-boggling.<\/p>\n

He continued to explain that just one degree temperature difference will make the difference between a beer being drinkable and not, between it being fermentable and not, between the taste of heat in the alcohol and nothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlcohol is a flaw of yeast \u2013 it\u2019s something that\u2019s not supposed to happen, it happens during stress. So you want to stress them just enough to produce alcohol but not enough to taste it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have too much yeast, you\u2019re going to lose tons of flavor, if you have too little yeast you\u2019ll get tons of flavor but you get so much fusel alcohol production. That\u2019s why beers are boozy. Take care of the yeast and they\u2019ll take care of you. That part of it is the science, which is awesome \u2013 creating the beer is the art.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blending Art and Science<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBut you can\u2019t go about brewing with all science – It\u2019s gotta be an art form,\u201d David repeats numerous times during our interview.<\/p>\n

Take, for example Blue Nose\u2019s True Justice Pale Ale, a staple in the arsenal of most breweries, a beer that David hopes appeals to both hopheads and new beer drinkers.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has a pale ale and they are all the same, either really hoppy and bitter or either malty sweet. We use the art form to get that really floral, citrusy depth of character to the hop, but then we use scientific form to where it\u2019s very dry, bitterness does not linger at all, so when you finish the beer it finishes incredibly clean and gives you that feeling of, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019ll have another.\u2019”<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to make beer that the true beer snobs can go crazy for but also for someone who hasn\u2019t had a real beer before to also really love and enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

But mastering the art form doesn\u2019t stop David from playing mad scientist, as he is proud to show off his homemade device used to regulate the temperature of the mash, heating it to within a half of a degree.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt uses complex calculations to predict how fast the temperature is changing in something, measures how quickly and how the temperature is moving so it can adjust the heating elements. It\u2019ll do 151.5 and keep it between 151.5 and 152 so we don\u2019t lose a half of a degree of temperature.<\/p>\n

The Beer<\/strong><\/p>\n

David speaks so passionately about beer, it\u2019s hard not to get excited.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is everything in me,\u201d he said. \u201cMaking something that\u2019s so uniquely you, it\u2019s making something from scratch. I made this start to finish, even the living organisms that helped me, I told them what to do! It\u2019s, to me, it\u2019s something that\u2019s so a part of your soul when you make it, when I make an individual beer.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the passion comes through with his beer.<\/p>\n

I had the chance to try a few of Blue Nose\u2019s offerings, and while the video above gives a good description of each, I wanted to add some of my own thoughts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I see sediment!<\/p><\/div>\n

XXX Honey \u2013 <\/em>This is a Belgian Triple that sits above a hefty 10% ABV, but you won\u2019t get even the slightest hint of booze, not at the beginning, not in the middle and not even at the end. The beer is pleasantly sweet right up front, thanks to the honey, but thankfully it\u2019s not sticky or overpowering (See, you can brew with honey and make it actually taste good!!). Like all of David\u2019s beers it finishes clean and dry, leaving me craving another beer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

So dark. So nutty. So sweet.<\/p><\/div>\n

Brown Ale <\/em>(not shown in the video) \u2013 This beer is the brainchild of Jordan and it\u2019s everything I want a brown ale to be \u2013 dark, nutty and sweet. If you could drink Sunday afternoon football in the fall, this would be it. Again, it finishes dry and clean. Keep an eye on this one \u2013 they have some cool plans out for the brown ale, including bourbon and vanilla infused versions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Seriously, it’s the perfect pale ale<\/p><\/div>\n

True Justice Pale Ale \u2013 <\/em>I\u2019ll just say this right off the bat \u2013 this was, by far, the best pale ale I\u2019ve ever had. It\u2019s really quite something \u2013 just when you think you are about to get barraged by bitter hops, they quickly fade and you get something sweeter than you were expecting. I think David has reached his goal of appealing to both hopheads and novice beer drinkers.<\/p>\n

Where They Are Now<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blue Nose\u2019s goal is to be licensed and legal with the state in the next two months, and to be in bars in the next two to six months. According to the guys, they will initially work to distribute their own beer but hope to eventually work through a distributor.<\/p>\n

But they are calling on the powers of the Chicago craft beer community to help their expansion. Currently, Blue Nose is brewing at a 15-gallon capacity. Their goal is to purchase a 3.5-barrel kettle system, as well as enough fermenters to house their 6 initial beers. How can you help? The guys have established a Kickstarter page<\/a> for donations to pay for the expansion and insurance and licensing, you know, the necessities.<\/p>\n

As Nate so eloquently stated, \u201cOne of the things we are proud of is that we don\u2019t have a really rich backer just throwing money at us, it\u2019s just us, using our own money and our own time and skills trying to put it together from the ground up. That\u2019s why we are using Kickstarter<\/a>, we really do need it and we are hoping people can jump on board with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

So how about it Chicago, help these guys out.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7504,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[858],"tags":[517],"yoast_head":"\nBlue
