Last night, setting a world record, and why we miss Jonathan…

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

So we didn’t brew last night but we had a great crowd of folks and enjoyed the (slightly) better weather than last week (and by slightly I mean more like 90 degrees instead of 95….LOVE these Georgia summers).  We finished a few transfers, continued to enjoy the belgian dubbel and drafty kilt, and admired our [...]

Tonight, We Drink

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Due to the continued incapacitation of Jonathan (this salmonella is not messing around) and the fact that we have a lot of beer right now (a good thing) we are not going to be “brewing” per se tonight.  We will be drinking and hanging out so come and join us.  Have a few new variations [...]

Homegrown Cascade

Friday, June 13th, 2008

The hops have arrived! The first signs that our hop vines will have some kind of crop this year have surfaced over the past few days. It’s still not clear how much we’ll get this year, but it appears at the very least we’ll be able to have enough Cascade for dry-hopping a [...]

That’s just bad politics

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

In a recent speech Republican nominee John McCain promised to veto every beer. What would this mean for America? I have no idea. I didn’t know beers could be vetoed. But I don’t think I like it. You can see the video slip-up here.
P.S. He was actually just trying to say “bill earmarked.” So… there’s that. [...]

Maybe it wasn’t the raw chicken shakes

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

For those of you who have been following Jonathan’s illness it turns out that maybe it wasn’t the raw chicken shakes that caused his salmonella.  In fact, according to this article it could have been some salmonella infested pico de gallo!  I do know for a fact that jonathan occasionally partakes in sketchy mexican food [...]

Forget the beer, what about the NAME?

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

We’re nearing closer to the time when we’ll have to decide on a definitive “launch beer,” since realistically we won’t be able to start with 5 different brews and a slew of rotating seasonals. With this in mind, we want to know which names are strongest. If you know our beer at all, forget the [...]

More Drafty, Less Kilt

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Despite Jonathan’s continued confinement to his deathbed and my whining about having to work late, last night was a solid one. Our new Belgian dubbel and Drafty Kilt were pouring well, we transfered our new Belgian Wheat and latest batch of IPA, enjoyed meeting some newcomers and even managed to brew a batch of [...]
