Panel Discussion
"Keys To Success"
Featuring:
Moderated By:
Jill Adams,
Principal & CEO of
Adams + Knight
Ronald cites the new styles like grapefruit-
and root beer-flavored beers as examples of
changes in industry tastes. He pointed to Sam-
uel Adams Rebel Grapefruit IPA as an example.
"If you're not making IPAs, you're in trou-
ble today, you have to make what the market
wants," Ronald said.
IPAs are, by far, the leading craft brand in
the industry, according to Pagano, followed
by pale ale.
City Steam makes a number of IPAs and its
Naughty Nurse IPA, which it introduced last
fall, is flying off the shelves — another Page hit.
"It's selling out," Ronald said. "We haven't
been able to make enough of it yet."
City Steam also is coming out with a new
IPA, but Ronald believes the nation is in the
middle of an IPA craze that will eventually
begin to fade. He acknowledges many beer
people would not agree with him.
Page, meanwhile, looks back fondly on his
time at City Steam, a period he said spanned four
Hartford mayors and millions of pints produced.
"A lot of people tried craft beer for the
first time" at City Steam, he said, proud of his
small stamp on an ancient craft.
He's also fond of the beer-related artwork,
such as old beer ads, he matted and framed on
the brewpub's walls, creating a kind of muse-
um. He also created the beers' names. Naughty
Nurse was named after a short, balding friend
who was a male nurse at Norwalk Hospital,
someone with whom he once home-brewed.
Page remembers telling his friend that if
he ever got a job in a brewery, he'd name a
beer after him. The name is slightly sugges-
tive, funny without being too disruptive, said
Page, who also writes poetry and whom Ron-
ald calls a renaissance man.
Naughty Nurse, created in 1997, "just caught
on — it was just the right style," Page said.
Jack Heslin, City Steam's brewery rep-
resentative for Connecticut and Massachu-
setts, said Page "is certainly one of the most
important people, brewery-wise, in Connecti-
cut brewing history." n
