This is in that artsy district. Do not be confused because it look like someone's house.

Hey, this sounds hella fun. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this time.

Please keep me in the loop for future events and hangouts. Thx!

I'm in!!!!!
any place that serves old chub has got to be great.

I will try to make it, but I cannot guarantee!

bright eyed and bushy tailed.

I'm there, although I don't think I'll be as chipper as beerthirty.

Hrmmmm...is this the place that haunted upstairs by some lady who's mad about her tree being cut down or something like that?

I will try to make it. Possibly have family from out of town coming. Please don't give up on me!

How do I add BATF to my profile? I haven't brewed anything yet, but it would make my profile look cool.

Peace

Check your PM.

Sadly I cannot make it. My wife is due any day now, and I can't be that far away from her if she goes into labor.

Aww just take her. Good Sam and St. Joes are close by.

Argh! Looks like I'm going to have to miss this one. I'm off a little earlier than planned to see the inlaws in San Diego. I will definitely catch you guys at the next event, though.

tick tick tick tick tick tick.

Getting ready to get ready.

Left work and headed to my wife's office to chill.

Which is silly, and I can explain that over a pint in 1 hour...

Had fun last night. It was good to see you guys again and to meet BrandonO and SWMBO. I enjoyed the beers we had last night much more than my last several forays into Bev-Mo. particularly enjoyed the Ommagang?-three philosophers and the Framboise Lambic. I wasn't to impressed with Sam Smiths Oatmeal Stout but it was much better when blended with a little of the Lambic. I was caught off guard by the peat flavor of Oscar Blues Old Chub, definetely want to try a black and tan with Old Chub and a cascade dryhopped amber. the bridgeport IPA was not, and I like IPA. No malt flavor, almost no english hop flavor, and slight aroma.
Now that is done, Look what you HBTers have done to me! I'm becoming a beer snob(not that I mind)

Man that was a good time.
Before I knew it was 10:30.
Got super nachos on the way home...........they get me every time.

The Lost Leaf is a very cool place.
It's a renovated hoime in the "First Friday" arts district next to some other homes that are residences/galleries. There is very little to indicate that it is a beer/wine bar.

Inside, the place is dark and cozy. There are several art piece on the wall for sale.
Later in the evening, there was live music that was a cross between techno and middle eastern music. It was easy to hold a conversation even with the music going on.

The owner found out that we were all homebrewers and bought us a round. Very cool.

I had a good time as well - some pretty tasty beers. Brandon O, very nice to meet you and your wife.

I have to admit I have no clue what I was babbling about with separate tastes and whatever else might have come spewing from my mouth - pretty sure you guys have picked up on my "gift of gab" - or it could have been the lack of dinner - one of the two....

Beerthirty & olllllo, I happen to mention stainless welding to my boss, and he might have a few guys he knows around the valley - I'll let ya know what he says. If he knows people, I'll let ya know.

cool +5=10

In an odd set of coincidences Bridgeport Brewing is following me on Twitter.
