Sunny Rise Wheat
Brewed: 03/01/2020 Kegged: 03/14/2020
 In February of 2019, the brewery had mostly dark and hoppy beers on tap. The SheppyBrew Beer Model was actually drinking commercial beers.
So, I decided it was time to brew a wheat beer.
Of course, I could have gone with the old standard Summer Lovin' American Wheat base with something added ... but this time I decided to try something a little different.
Rather than honey malt, I threw in some Golden Naked Oats.
We were coming up on Lenten season, so I thought about calling it Easter Ale, or maybe even Sonrise Ale, but decided to stay away from a religious themed name.
The days were getting longer and longer and Spring is close to being upon us.
