There is a local ice cream shop called Salt and Straw that does odd flavors of ice cream. One of them is Balsamic Strawberry Vinegar and pepper. You would think those 2 things wouldn't combo well but they do. I want to incorporate those 2 flavors in a beer. I know strawberry is tough...

I haven't posted up in a while, but something interesting happened that I figured you guys might wanna check out. Every Saturday, a local sports radio station does a 15 minute alcohol segment. The station is 1080 AM The Fan and it's on about 10:00am pst. The segment is usually a local...

Normally, I wouldn't post a new job here on the forums but I got a job in the beer industry. I'm a merchandiser for Point Blank. It's a small craft beer distributor that specializes in local stuff. Love the job so far. Yea, I'm basically a glorified stock boy but I still love it.

I'm not sure if I'd ever buy one of these or not. I doubt it. I love the idea though. Absolutely brilliant. Now why didn't one of the craft breweries from Oregon think of this first. Darn Texans! When 1 case of beer just isn't enough: http://anytimeale.com/

Beer from the shower, faucet, etc. Funny stuff. http://youtu.be/HG_wfMK7dko

My friend and I want to try to clone this new beer that Bridgeport just released. Here is an article on it: http://beerpulse.com/2013/11/bridgeport-trilogy-crystal-dry-hopped-pale-ale-kicks-off-new-series-celebrating-30-years-1790/ The little info I got out of the article is...

So Molson has a new advertising gimmick. They place these fridges all around Europe and if you have a Canadian passport, you can use it to unlock a stocked fridge filled with beer....for free. Not sure how many of these fridges are around Europe but the gimmick is cool in my book...

Just saw it. Rode my new motorcycle in the rain to go see it. Do I care? Not really cause it was AWESOME. I'd recommend it to anyone. Especially if you liked Pitch Black. Somewhat similar to the first installment. Mercenaries, scary creatures, a hot butch chick that I sure wish was...

I have been highly anticipating this movie since I saw the trailer several months ago. I even went out and bought the book. The book turned out to be fantastic which made me even more excited for the movie. Then I began hearing stories that the movie didn't resemble the book at all. That...

I've been looking for something new to watch and a few people suggested it. I'm 3 episodes into the first season and it is REALLY weird. I'm sure I'll finish the season but this show is strange.

My brewclub is considering making an app for members. I personally use Brewsmith 2.0 while a few other members use ProMash. Our last meeting we did a brainstorming session and came up with a survey. Initially, we were just going to ask members to participate but I figured a wider audience...

The other movie thread inspired this thread. The other day we were having a discussion at work on what sequels were actually better than the first installment. Our list was pretty short. My nomination would be Aliens. Although Alien was an outstanding movie I thought Aliens was a notch...

This weekend my club is brewing up 78 gallons. The most we've done in 1 day up to this point has been 36 gallons. We're going to divide up into shifts on our 1bbl system. We picked up an oak bourbon barrel and since it now sits empty we just HAVE to fill it. I signed up for the first...

I've had a few bombers of this years Stone Vertical Epic and I love this stuff. They just released the recipe in their blog. Lots of spices. So much is kinda scares me. I've made a batch of spiced beer before and I way overdid it. Has anybody tried their hand at this yet? If so, what...

I'm doing my first lager, a Czech Pilsner and have decided to add some fresh blackberries to it (I'll pasteurize them when the time comes). I chose a pilsner because I'm getting burnt out on fruited wheat beers. Right now, the pilsner is in the fridge at 53° and I plan on keeping it there...

She is going to be a contestant. DAYUM!

A friend of mine gave me a bottle of this last weekend. It was absolutely fantastic. My new favorite beer. I haven't ever brewed a Belgium before but now I'm considering trying to find a recipe for this brew.

So The Avengers was so good that I saw it twice in the theater. Quite a few of my friends thought it was good enough to see it twice also. This got us talking about other movies that were good enough to see twice. Not at home on DVD/BluRay but to actually fork out the bucks to see it in the...

So I made my second starter tonight for a porter I'm going to brew up tomorrow. NOTE: this will be my first AG attempt. All of my previous batches have been extract. The recipe I will be doing is one I found here called Bee Cave Robust Porter. I used 2 cups of DME and 1.5L of water. Once...

So the local housing authority purchased the duplex I was living in. They decided to tear it down and build something else. So they asked me to leave. I can tell you, if your gonna get asked to leave...it may as well be by the housing authority. They paid my application fee, move in deposit...
