I'd wish HB_99 a happy birthday, but I know the truth! HB_99 doesn't exist. He is part of a secret government conspiracy to infiltrate and dismantle the homebrewing movement in America.

Fact: Bush was elected President.

Fact: In his time as President gas prices have risen sharply, causing higher prices in grains and hops.

Fact: In his time as President, Bush has pushed for bio-fuels and ethanol in particular to help ease the gas crunch. This has resulted in grain farmers giving up raising precious brewing grains and growing corn for ethanol instead, again driving grain costs up and resulting in limited availability!

Fact: During Bush's presidency, a hop fire mysteriously occurred affecting hop prices and availability. The fire was claimed to be 'accidental' but there is overwhelming proof our own government was involved and that they set fire to our own hop farms!

Fact: During Bush's presidency, keg deposits all over the country have been skyrocketing, resulting in increased cost and limited availability of kegs to homebrewers!

Fact: I completely fabricated this whole thing to bust HB_99's balls on his birthday! Happy birthday you ol' bugger!

Happy birthday! In celebration, today would be the perfect day for me to tap the keg of hefe that I brewed from your recipe - I'll make sure to drink one (or more...) for you

 

[RichBrewer]

Happy Birthday!
Here's to a great day and many more happy birthdays to come!

 

[homebrewer_99]

Thanks everyone.

Orpheus: ROTFLMMFAO!!! Great wake-up call! Your "facts" may be true...but contrary to popular conspiracy theories: I am, therefore I drink. I drink, therefore I brew!!

Ize: Working on my second HW as I type...

evandude: Thanks. Let me know how it turned out.

And a big sloppy "thank you" to everyone else...(by sloppy I meant...wet glasses...what were you thinking? )

I have 2 kegs in the kegerator and 9 in a holding pattern. Where's the party?

 

[Fingers]

All the best HB99. Glad to hear you're hoisting a few.

 

[Flyin' Lion]

Well I'm late to the party as usual.

Happy birthday Bill, hope it's a good one.

In my short time here, HB_99 has risen as one of my favorite posters.
Happy Birthday and I hope that when you say you are close to retirement you mean that you joined the service at 18 and are turning 40.
God bless.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), I was in the active Army for only 7 years and I've been a civilian since '81. I just turned 53, but currently have over 33 combined years Federal Service. I'll have close to or at 36 years when I retire since I'll be turning in over 8 months of sick leave for time.

Thanks again to everyone.

Looks like a good one BierMuncher!
