Ferris Brewer's Day Off

[m1k3]

Anyone call in sick to brew? I came up with "Ferris Brewer's Day Off".... man I hope that is original because it killed me.

Anyway... today I brewed "Brewevement Porter" since my work gave me the day off for my grandma's passing.... she would have wanted me to be happy right?

So, this new thread is to log your *cough* I can't come to work brew days. (provided your coworkers don't know your HBT user name).

Or is it just me?

I'm hung up on the vocabulary here...

Brewevement
Brewrevement
Beerevement

Hmmm.

About this time last year I brewed on a sick day. It was a Black IPA and I called it Black Ops because I was so super stealthy.

Haven't done it yet but have been thinking about it! I like the names "sick day IPA" "backstory brown ale" "won't be in hefewiezen"

Feeling Kinda Pale Ale?
Pale Ailment?
Yeast Infection Lager?
Earache My IPA? (Cheech & Chong reference)

ok... @BeardedBrews, Beerevement is even better sounding than my Brewevement. But it loses something... I didn't just stay home and drink... It was a brew day!

Anyway... Kegged the Porter yesterday 11/22/16 after a couple days of cold crashing. 7.09% calculated ABV! Uncarbonated it tastes like Anchor Porter. (do they use Northern Brewer in their porter or just Anchor Steam?)

I work from home for the most part. Days off or at least partial days off come pretty easy but yeah, I've taken time off to brew. My excuse (usually given to myself) is: "I'll do that later" then in my head figure out a technical reason why. Just in case....

 

[PADave]

I took last Friday off, to brew.

 

[biochemedic]

My last sick day involved actual surgery! (appendicitis...) (No chances of a "sick" brewing day for me, unfortunately!!!)

 

[Yeastieboy]

I always bail early from work to brew...

I'm having a hard time getting past your taking advantage of her passing to do something you feel you need an excuse for.

My buddies & I at work refer to it as "the something to do flu". Thankfully, I am able to take days off occasionally to do things I enjoy...brewing would be the main one.

I rearranged my flex schedule to have Fridays off. I originally did it so I could help out in my kids' school. But a nice benefit is that I always have a built in brew day when I need it without pesky kids or SWMBO in the way.

 

[Black Island Brewer]

What are these "sick days" of which you speak? Taking a day off to brew would make it a very expensive beer indeed!

It has taken me 15 years to accumulate over 700 hours of sick time.
I get sat-sun off without having to charge time .
