I need to apologize for being away for a few months. I moved into a new house that has more room for a brewery. Also due to a few health reasons and a recent Hip Core Decompression operation, I have been on the wagon. OH, and I have to mention the wife wanted me to get away for a bit...

About three week ago I was on the road with a new co worker, taking him to a few locations in his area of responsibility. During the 5 hour trip from Ashland, VA to Monroe, NC, we passed a small brewery called Red Oak. This is one that I have never heard of before, so we did a locate on the...

Can anyone tell me a good Brew Pub in or close to Rensselaer, NY or East Greenbush. I'm stuck here for the rest of the week and need to get out of the hotel. As usual the TSA did not let me carry on my case of homebrew. Go figure!

Here is a good quote from the news! "Price increases are less likely from larger commercial breweries, such as Anheuser-Busch, because they use less hops, some brewers said." And the taste sucks! Yup. Bud has always been cheap and always will be. I could piss out the last 9 homebrews...

I think it is Napalm?

How about Matt or Matthew? My Ex's name was Amber and she tasted pretty good!!!

223) You come home late one night, two weeks after you bottle the beer your SWMBO brewed while you overslept, and she invited all your friends over. And they have been there for hours.

Where do you live? I am sure we could help you empty that cornie real quick!

The day after I posted my welcome I met a very friendly couple from Australia while waiting for a flight from Newark, NJ to Chicago, IL. I have never had anyone in the New Jersey / New York City area or anywhere, sit down at the table and join me for dinner. I was sitting eating my breakfast...
