A winner from Custom Brewcrafters
Looks like our friends in Honeoye Falls are picking up steam. Custom Brewcrafters Weizenbock is out now, and it’s one of the tastiest CB offerings I’ve had in a while. Weizenbock, a stronger, darker version of Bavarien Hefeweizen, is a pretty tough style to nail, but the Custom boys hit it close to dead-on.
It’s also encouraging to see the Weizenbock come out as a house-branded beer. Jason Fox and company have the chops to make excellent beers. And while their business requires them to make the private-label brews thir customers signed up for, it’s great to see them using their new facility to brew kick-ass Custom Brewcrafters craft beer as well.
Another plus: CB has just hired Jordan Sunseri, former brewer for Rooster Fish of Watkins Glen, NY. He’s a talented and creative brewer, and a hell of a weapon in Custom’s arsenal.

How does it compare to their double dark?
Oh, and what was that beer called that smells like sausage?
Sparklies, It’s apples and oranges to the Double Dark. But I will say the DD and the Weizenbock are the best beers CB makes.
The beer that smells like sausage is ‘Rauchbier.’
