Pushbike SF x Chuey Brand

Finished a run of Chueys for Pushbike SF. This was a fun project, Sarah at Pushbike has been a huge help to Chuey Brand over the years, be it cutting fabric or bill liners, finding amazing wools and just supporting CB in its early years. Thanks a bunch "S Murder!"

Pushbike "Cycling Apparel in San Francisco"

Check out the Pushbike site if you don't already know about the shop. It's a great spot with a fantastic selection of cycling goods.

Buckets!!!!! The "93"

Just finished the first run of a full billed bucket style Chuey cap "The '93". It's a fun new style that I have been trying out the past week or so. The bucket sports the same four-panel top as the classic plus a full bill. The '93 has come in handy in the recent San Francisco sun, drizzle, rain and fog. Yuki, from Chari and Co. NYC, picked up a few for his shop during a recent visit.

Northwest Imperial Oatmeal Porter Release !!!!!!!!!!!

Northwest Imperial Oatmeal Porter.

This past February 13th on a beautiful Northwest Saturday in Stevenson,Washington I had the pleasure and honor to participate in the collaborative brew of this year's Sasquatch Legacy Brew for the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation. I collaborated on the recipe with Evan Taylor of Montana Brewing Company. Head Brewer Jacob Leonard of Walking Man Brewing , a previous Falconer Scholarship recipient and Sasquatch Legacy brewer guided the brew day and the Brew Crew at Walking Man Brewing were fantastic hosts, thank you Bob Craig. In addition to brewing with some talented brewers I also got to sample some amazing Northwest beer. That weekend I visited Double Mountain Brewery in Hood River, OR and Everybody's Brewing in White Salmon,WA. The Gorge has some excellent beer and is a must visit it is a beautiful place. Evan and I also got a chance to visit with Chad Kennedy head brewer at Laurelwood Brewing in Portland on the Friday before heading to Stevenson. We were able to get bombers of the freshly released Organic Espresso Stout.

That's a little background on the trip and brewing experience which was amazing. I have some recipe information and tasting notes from Jacob below. The release is tomorrow at the Horse Brass Pub in Portland, please do check it out if you can. It's great beer for a great cause.

8.5% ABV
90 IBU's

Great Western NW Pale Ale, Munich, Light Crystal, English Chocolate malts, & flaked oats. The Malt was donated by Great Western Malting Co.

The hops are all NW varieties, donated by Hop Union. Columbus, Centennial, Northern Brewer, and the new Citra hops were all used in the kettle. We dry-hopped with three pounds each of Citra, Centennial, and Northern Brewer.

"The Northwest Imperial Oatmeal Porter smells like sweet citrus hops, with some dank pine, and dark rich chocolate. The taste is very smooth and creamy with balance of chocolate and sweet malt, but with an assertive bitterness and hop flavor. The hops and the chocolate malt stay on the tongue and make you want to drink more." (Jacob Leonard, Walking Man Brewing).

Spring Chuey Caps hitting the streets!

Spring 2010 Caps are hitting the streets now. I have kicked off the season with some fun plaids and cool lightweight wools.

Cutters Caps

"Breaking Away" is one of my favorite movies. It's in my top 3, behind Trading Places & Rocky. I did a Chuey cap run in tribute to the squad from Indiana, the black ones are for the Team Cinzano fans. I dug out my "Funko Jawn" T-shirt from the pic.

Kicked off 2008 with Limited Editions for a few bike shops

I kicked off 2008 with some custom hats for a few bike shops. The Freewheel on Hayes in San Francisco, King Kog in Brooklyn & No Brakes Atlanta were on board. TFW, KK & NBA were all cool folks & pleasures to work with.
