Newsflash: We rule

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

We didn’t realize until recently, but it turns out we are awesome. The breakthrough came Thursday night as we dipped our Laissez-Faire Barleywine in gold wax and put labels on them. Turns out they look GOOD. Almost too good…

The significance of a Harvard ballcap

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Jeff and I went to Taco Mac Saturday night to have a few beers and watch some football. While we were there, we were engaged in what is surely one of the top 10 conversations ever prompted by a Harvard ballcap.

Monday, January 7th, 2008

The short story: We don’t have any beer. Bring a six pack of your favorite microbrew.
The longer story: We brewed a wedding beer before the holidays for some friends. The wedding is coming up next week, and we still haven’t bottled the beer. Bottom line, we need to get it carbonated. We have plenty of [...]

Monday comes to the big screen

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

We have a dilemma. Tomorrow is Monday. We want to brew beer. But we also want to watch the BCS title game, in which LSU will humiliate Ohio State, proving that Ohio should never have been ranked so high. Solution: Joel.
Joel will be arriving at Jeff’s early to rig up a projector outside. Which means [...]
