Way too literal for me...

Raspberry? Blueberry? Are you Canadian? Flag Day is all about the USofA, which means Mom and applepie.

More brewing is always fun.

The last tasting I did for a primarily college aged crowd liked IPA and DIPA. They weren't wearing yoga pants, some were wearing skirts and shorts small enough to pass for lingere though...

Maybe we need a contest for the holidays (all holidays), who can come up with a drinkable food themed beer. I pity the fool that tackles Flag Day!

Homebrewing, raising goats, making your own cheese, and trading farm goods, when did I enter an episode of Portlandia and start dreaming of the 1890s...

+5 gal oatmeal stout = 44,559

If you don't like coffee flavor, avoid black patent. While 2oz shouldn't really give you much coffee flavor, I would recommend just adding another 2oz of chocolate or carafe I or II or III to get the darker color.

Those kinds of folks are always trying to shave a bit off. Do they ask questions like: Ok so if the half-life of this is 500,000 years and I am buying 500g, are you going to make sure that the sample weights 500g when we receive it or is that shipping weight? Because if that is shipping weight...

Oh, well they are expanding so I assume that it means they are still in business and actually doing well. According to the "I went Pro" thread, they are making a profit and doing quite well, so I assume that he is not lying in a desparate attempt to make it seem that they are afloat instead of...

How does a sales call go? Buyer: Hi M: Hi, I'm with Acme Radioactive Stuff Inc. Would you like to buy some radioactive stuff? Buyer: Why yes I would. Do you happen to have any cesium? M: Yes, we do. I have to ask, are you a terrorist? Buyer: No, of course not. What kind of question is...

Does radioactivity sort of give itself away, which is why it is radioactive?

In the September/October issue of Zymurgy there are recipes from the 2013 homebrew winners. I especially looked over the lagers to improve my fermentation plans. Every one of them had a 10 to 14 day fermentation before the d-rest. Check your beer during fermentation if you must but it seems...

I think Kinsale is still around.

Brew Day! SWMBO suggested that maybe I do a winter beer to give away this year. I said, that sounds awesome but I hate the spiced winter beers. So I thought, what about a spiced stout. So Winter Solstice as a concept was born. Now I have to run a couple batches to make sure that it is actually...

German Wurst is usually very simple and easy. Do exactly what you say and get some Wurst, fry them and serve with mustard. Not them, they decided to make their own. So instead of nice little Wurst you end up with what looks like a Jimmy Dean cut of Wurst that is gritty and a slice of Wurst. Yes...

I live in East Cambridge. Bring me $80 and I'll provide you plenty of beer, better food, and the opportunity to watch me make my Winter Solstice Stout for entertainment.

That is the place. The Wurst plate is so morally offensive, were I drunk enough I would think about firebombing (hi NSA). Expensive, crap, and arrogant. Serious fail!

I've only been to JW once but I was less than impressed. I don't expect the servers to be awesome brand ambassadors but I do expect them to have at least a clue about beer basics. I asked a question about which Jack's Abby they had as their "seasonal" and he started describing it in the most...

Whatever you do avoid the new "Germanesque" place in Union Square, Somerville. They took good German food and turned it into a plastic hipster version. Their beer list is ok but I was served my Schwartzbier in one of those heavy margarita glasses. I am a total Teutonphile and firmly believe in...
