The movie was good. There's a couple things about it I didn't like, but overall I enjoyed it.
I guess that could describe the mead as well.

Lotsa air!!

I'm really drinking Bridgeport. Smooth ryed! !! Its pretty tasty!

LoloMT7s Red. Another great beer man! Is this Imperial or no? Pretty close to Red Dread in aroma and flavor if you ask me. Thanks!!

Thanks.. borderline imperial think it ended up around 7.8% the 5 gallons I had on tap were citra ctz dry hop (like red dread). The 5 gallons bottled were Centennial dry hop us-05 and I actually liked the bottles best.
Drinking water watching a movie.. long day.

There's only two reasons, under normal circumstances, that I can think of for drinking at 5:45 am. 1) You're still drinking from the night before or 2) you're up earlier than any sane person has a right to be on their day off in the name of brewing before it gets too hot outside. Guess which one applies to me.

That's true. I didn't think about the folks on shift work. Sad part about that is I actually work shift work hours occasionally and I didn't consider it.

Now I am having coffee. The initial excitement about getting up crazy early to brew has given way to the fatigue that comes along with doing nothing while waiting for the mash and boil.

Morning coffee with some Irish cream on this wonderful morning on the lake

I've never brewed a Dopplebock.
I'd like to brew something like Celebrator.

I could've bought more, but damn! $20 for a bottle! I'm such a cheapskate.

Another lake view with a Bloody Mary now once we get on the lake it will be "water" (miller) then off to the house to drink some good beer I'm out up here after last night

I found them for $13 or getting more than one wouldn't have been an option.

I'm at a CAMRA beer festival... It's awesome

That sounds great. About time we saw you drinking some English beer for a change

Hangin at the Strip District in the 'Burgh this morning! Had an Espresso Ristretto at the Allegheny Coffee Exchange and some Chorizo Sausage from the Parma Sausage Co. This place is freaking awesome! I love coming down here! Now to Presto Georgeo for some coffee beans for a coffee stout!

Starbucks

I didn't care for it at first but after my second glass I could taste sour grapes and it finished with a banana taste.

At Bella Notte Italian Eatery. But it was the 44 beers on tap that got me! Granted they're all pretty common stuff, it's still a damn good selection! Doing a Flight with my wife:
L-R
1. Tröegs Sunshine Pils
2. Angry Orchard
3. ST 2X IPA
3. Dale's Pale Ale
4. Victory Hopdevil

Today is certainly making up for the sh!tty 4th I had! Spending way too much money!

Maybe later we'll go furry watching...

More coffee as I pack up some beer for FermentNEthinG.

Getting ready to go to Sun King Brewery's 4th birthday & keg tapping party

I drink plenty of English (or Scottish) beer!!

I think everything I posted last night was either made by me, Scottish or English?

Planning to stop by a local brewery for a growler of Gandhi-Bot. Today is going to be a good day.

I had a guy from my lhbs pick one up for me in Spokane and paid 20 also. Love that stuff.

Never brewed hung over before... This could get weird. Mashing in on my toasted nut brown ale and drinking lots of water. It's almost 90 in my apartment so chilling later is going to SUCK

Stumptown Coffee!

My girlfriend loves that stuff, but is disappointed you can only get it in the summer sampler pack. We actually stopped at the brewery in Vermont and asked if we could buy just the HiCu, and the guy says: "Best I can do is open a bottle and let you have a taste."

Oh, gee, thanks dude.

We were leaving and he's like, "Did you try our beer?"
"No."
"Why not! We have a great new pilsner!"
"No thanks.
"We also have a new IPA."
"Oh? What's special about it?"
"We brew it with sweet potatoes!"
"No."

There is definitely alot of hype surrounding FFF beer. I personally like everything I've had from them except Robert the Bruce.
