Usually after brewing on Mondays Jeff, Joel and I crack open a beer or two and collect ourselves – our thoughts on the night’s events, future plans, updates on our lives. Last Monday it was just me and Jeff, but we still managed to have a good conversation, even without Joel giggling every time someone said the word “duty.”There are periods of time when we are all busier than normal and have fewer resources to dedicate to brewing. Now is one of those times. In fact, the only reason I’m able to compose this semi-thoughtful post is because I accidentally showed up an hour early for a client meeting and don’t have internet access. Jeff and I are both working a lot at our full-time jobs, and Joel is currently in Japan collecting Hello Kitty paraphernalia.

You may have even noticed the blog slipping lately. I’ve had precious little time to give Travis the “what for,” and I recently mistakenly claimed that Bryan Adams was the only good musician to come out of Canada. I can’t believe I forgot about Celine Dion…

Fortunately, in spite of everything going on in life, the three of us still make it a priority to gather together and catch up. Because more than business partners we’re friends. Hopefully we’ll never have to make a choice between those two extremes. I honestly don’t know which I would choose. Usually, and Monday was no exception, I come away from these talks excited about the future. Yes, this is what all three of us want to do with our lives. Yes, it has been a lot of hard work lately, and will only get harder. Yes, I am awesome.

So I guess this is my way of saying thanks to everyone for sharing in our journey. We’re still almost 2 years away, but we’ve been encouraged by your support. Atlanta – nay, the South – needs more great beer!
