First Pour #10

This is a little late (should have been posted last Friday), but what can I say...I've been drinking.

Anyway, I tried the first of my Sam Adams Cream Stout clone last Friday. It was only 15 days in the bottle (primed with DME) so I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near ready, but it was St. Paddy's day, and I'm both Irish and Catholic, so it was pretty much required. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! The carbonation was excellent...probably overcarbed for a stout even, but I like mine bubbly so I was happy. And the taste...fantastic! If you like cream stouts, then here's another Beer Captured recipe that I can highly recommend.

The best thing tho...I got to sip my cream stout out of one of my cool new beer glasses.

Looks great! Man I wish we all lived closer.....

Where'd you get the glasses?

I'm glad you asked.

Our good buddy Ian did them for me.

good looking beer.
good looking glass.

did you send Ian a custom image or something?

were they the same price as the "homebrew" glasses?

yeah, I wanna know too!

ElP, so is strange brew the name of your brewery?

I will have to try that recipe. I have been pleased with what I have tried out of that book so far. And the glass looks great!

I don't know yet, I'm still thinking about it...Strange Brew is really just the title of the Cream song I was listening to when the idea came to me. The logo itself is a ripoff of Wychwood Brewery.
