    District Philly!  We need your help naming our collaboration beer for CBC! Please post your suggestions!

    As a recap, we brewed a rye lager with ~75lbs of stale, toasted bread from Liscio's bakery at Bonesaw Brewing Co. with sponsored ingredient donations from Novonesis and Malteurop. Part of what made this possible was the mash press at Bonesaw!

    Here's the recipe:

    • 44% Pils
    • 25% Vienna
    • 25% Rye
    • 6% Munich 5
    • An extra 5-10% of toasted, stale bread from Liscios
    • 60 min Northern Brewer
    • Whirlpool Hersbrucker
    • House lager yeast
    • Enzyme - LumistaGold - for clarity
    • Enzyme - Maturex Gold - for diacetyl reduction

    I believe "A Toast to Philly" is the winner!  Thanks for the suggestion Andrew!

    Sounds like we got a few good ideas out here so far with my 2 favorites so far being:

    • Toast of Philly
    • Breadwinner Rye
    • or giving props to the bread by simply calling it Liscio's Lager although FAFO is probably most descriptive of the Philly vibe.
