Government shutdown brew

I'm a federal employee, and with the possible government shutdown coming up I could be having some extended time off. Obviously I will want to brew in this time. What sort of style do you think i should brew? I wouldnt mind something with a higher ABV because I won't be going to work!

So sound off for my Government shutdown brew!

I'm also federal employee and I feel for you. You should make a barely wine, then maybe you could collect a second set of runnings and get as much beer as possible out of your investment.

Prohibition ale..

Most misleading thread title ever. I got defensive just reading it.

Same. Scared the hell out of me.

Find some really high gravity brews, and enjoy the bit of downtime you have.

Well, that's no fun.

Brave guys admitting to being government employees.

Are you the postal employee who would put up the going to lunch sign as soon as I was next in line? I got escorted off the premises for complaining a bit too loud.

I'd brew up a batch of "Postal-***** Ale"

Not a postal worker, but I'd be tempted to steal that name.
