Erik for President is a classic style American Pale Ale that was brewed with Cascade hops. It should have a nice, clean crisp finish that will leave you thirsty for more. I'm thinking this beer is going to be perfect for an afternoon wiffleball game or as a session beer on a nice sunny afternoon.
Erik for Emperor is a slightly different version of the President brewed using the exact same grain-bill but we replaced the Cascade hops for some Sorachi Ace hops from Japan. This is the first time we've experimented with the Sorachi Ace hops and it'll be interesting to see how the two contrast in taste.
The best thing about this pair of beers is they will be bottled early next week and we should be enjoying them by Easter. And remember, Vote for Erik!

the emperor beer also had slightly different extract and slightly different yeast.
Basically brewed the second version because the 2nd extract only came in 3+ lb container and the recipe only called for half that. They don't have the Munich extract in the giant barrels that you can get exactly how much you need. Sucks, but if it leads to more beer, its not so bad.
