Hello Everyone,
I thought I would establish some roots here on your very informative forum.
I am definitely wet behind the ears with home brewing, but my first batch is fermenting in my basement now and I can tell already that I'm hooked. I was at one time a Sous Chef but now work in an office so getting back in the kitchen, getting creative and mischievous, it's really got me excited, not to mention I just flat out love good beer!
When it comes to a flavor profile, I am a complete hophead. Unique IPA / IIPA / PA concoctions would be my personal favorite; I can't get enough. There generally is a 4pack of Double Dog in the fridge at all times. I'm also very much in love with the flavor hint / aroma of citrus. Lagunitas is generally around the house making friends with the Double Dog, but Deadlift so far has really been a stand out for me.. My wife and I are flying back to Las Vegas this April (the place where I first had Deadlift.. Speaking of, if you ever get to Vegas, go to the New York New York, find a bar called Pour24. The have Deadlift on tap, DFH 60min IPA, a whole gang of great beers that poor suckers like myself can't get living in Missouri).. Back on subject, I plan on stocking up.. May have to buy an extra carry on bag .
Here's to new friends, new flavors, and a ton of hops.
