Leap-Beer Party TONIGHT!

February 29th, 2008 travis 1 comment

Tonight my wife and I will be our first beer and cheese paring party. It should be a good turnout with anywhere from 15 to 30 people showing up. The plan with this party was a “BYOC” where people supplied the cheese and we supplied the beer to pare with it.
This week I spent some [...]

And the winner is…

Brewing this weekend wound up getting canceled because it was Nick’s brew-girlfriend’s birthday. Keeping the brew-significant others appeased is ALWAYS a worthy reason to delay a brew weekend. God knows they put up with enough craziness.
With my new found extra time, I decided to take care of a few odds and ends.
$20 Gift [...]

Celebration Ale Weekend

February 22nd, 2008 travis No comments

Well the weekend is upon us and it’s time to brew. We’re currently looking for an extra set of hands because the doc says I can’t lift anything greater than 20lbs. If you’re in the area and want to come by to join us, shoot me an email so I can give you directions.
This weekend [...]

So for Valentines Day, my brew wife got me an AWESOME gift certificate for my LHBS! This is $20 that HAS to be spent on brew supplies. While it’s tempting to put it towards a brew session, I decided that I am going to spend it on a few odds and ends items I have [...]

Contrary to popular belief, I was not in Georgia lacing beer bottles with the bird flu. I was in Colorado on a ski/beer trip visiting my long time friend Poopie.
We started the trip out with a stop at New Belgium Brewing Company (I wrote about this on A Good Beer Blog) and had ourselves a [...]

The argument about Canadians is settled

February 6th, 2008 travis 6 comments

There has been a lot of talk on the brew blogs about Canadian artists and I figured I would chime in. Now I’m personally a die-hard T-Hip fan and would agree that there is no question that there are a lot of great Canadian comedians and bands. With that said, the chatter about [...]

Super Brew Racking Weekend

February 3rd, 2008 travis 4 comments

Yea it’s a pretty lame title, but I’m sick and not in the mood to be overly creative.
