IPA Day

I neglected to note that yesterday Aug 1st was IPA Day. I chose to observe with a Founders Centennial. My brewing club members have requested that I brew the Pregnant IPA recipe again. It has been about a year since I last brewed that one and I think it might be time.

Beer and Politics

I don't plan on using this blog to debate politics, but I couldn't resist posting this informational article.

I know my beer drinking tastes do not match their chart, but then again I'm really an exception when it comes to most beer rules, as are most home brewers I would imagine.

Happy Repeal Day

Tip one in celebration.

Hard to believe that insanity lasted for 13 years. The damage it did to the brewing culture in this country is incalculable. Even after prohibition ended this country did not recover the deep culture of brewing fine product for many decades.

I'm glad I live in the modern era where craft brewing has once again taken root, and is growing by leaps and bounds.
