    Favorite Microbrew

    I used to work right across the parking lot from Old Dominion Brewery in Ashburn, VA....so my micro-brew experience is directly related to sampling their beers.. Tuppers Hop Pocket Ale/Pilsner were my favs for a long time....and I've seen some mention of their Oak Barrell Stout. The original...

    2007 Raleigh Beer Fest

    I'm workin real hard on this diarrhea of the keyboard thingie, but i've got one more question related to my original mini-novel....I apologize if this is the wrong place, but I started the thread here, so move it if need be. Hehe....there's few things that get me going, but SWMBO...

    2007 Raleigh Beer Fest

    Oh, OK, cool......wonder what link I ended up on from google to get the sold out page for Raleigh? Must've been a cached page or something. damn Internets..... :D

    2007 Raleigh Beer Fest

    Damn, both festivals are advertising as being sold out.....Durham even goes as far as to say TICKETS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AT THE GATE!!! Guess that takes care of trying to convince SWMBO that it would be more fun than Fall Shakori, which is also that weekend ;)

    2007 Raleigh Beer Fest

    no apologies necessary....I find myself doing it all the time - especially about things that interest me....unfortunately, it's hard to see folks eyes glaze over online... You should see the posts that never make it when I'm sober enough to go "Holy @$@!, did I just write all that?" Will...

    Favorite Brewing Music

    well, spending a brief period of time with a wonderful neighbor by the name of Ralph (Stanley), I have to say i'm partial to his music - but I've also acquired a lot of bootlegs of 'unknown' bands who were at various bluegrass sundays at a few local venues..... I'm also very, very fond of Del...

    2007 Raleigh Beer Fest

    Damn, when it rains, it pours.... Right at the beginning of festival season....The weekend before is Shakori Hills http://www.shakorihills.org/ , and SWMBO is extremely unlikely to get two weekends off in a row (especially after taking 4 days off).....plus, we'll be broke from participating...

    Hello

    Oh, don't let anyone fool ya, this is way more than a hobby....won't take long for it to become an obesession!!! Misery loves company.....heheheh starts out as "I can brew in plastic buckets with extracts" and quickly turns into "I need more kegs to condition one batch while I brew the next...

    off to sunny FL

    ahhh, Florida.... If SWMBO had her way - we'd be living there now (she reminds me every day that Disney is the largest IT employer in the state) ....I still like the seasons - even if we only get a few weeks of "winter" here!!! I really miss the snow, and since i can work anywhere there's an...

    Now for the names of you dogs!

    This is(was) my buddy Max..a Great Pyranees/Newfie Mix. When I got him, he looked like a little bear cub with great, big feet....he was the sweetest thing (as can be attributed by the cat calmly sleeping near his head)..My daughter used to ride him like a horse, and he talked, too (sounded just...

    Favorite Brewing Music

    I apologize if this thread exists somewhere else...I did a quick search and did not see anything. I can't function in any activity without music (it drowns out the voices)....but homebrewing just seems to lend itself to it (plus, I think it makes the beer taste better). Being outside, big...

    Greetings from Surf City, NC

    and what, exactly, is a GRABASS/VAgraNCy brew fest? SWMBO is up for it, provided she doesn't have to stop partying to kick ass. <wink> Got some 'bad' news on the homefront......after several years of housesitting and pretending that we could actually afford a million dollar oceanfront house...

    My Chocolate Stout Recipe...thoughts?

    funny how every time I google a clone recipe for a beer me and SWMBO like, I run across this site.....glad to be a member! Can any of you who've cracked one open fill me in on how your batches turned out? SWMBO is not a big beer fan, although she likes mixing my stouts with Irish Whiskey...

    Tomorrow's the big day!

    Well, after hearing me rant (sarcastically) about the commercialization of this Hallmark Holiday, SWMBO decreed that we wouldn't do anything to celebrate this holiday.....of course, being a divorced man - I've learned from my mistakes and I knew better ;) Plus, being the Boy Scout-type - I buy...
