My night tonight

[OHIOSTEVE]

I posted in another thread about being invited to a " club" meeting and being asked to bring some beer. I loaded up 2 cases of various stuff and my guitar and headed out. When I pulled in the guys were out in an old HUGE barn. When I walked in the barn I couldn't believe it. This entire thing was set up like a shrine to beer drinking. I bet there were 1000 empty beer bottles lined up around the walls. No budweiser or coors bottles to be seen either. ALL different types of craft beers in everything from brown bottles to ceramic jugs. There was a small bar in the center with bar stools all the way around it. The turn out was small so I had a lot of beer left but I thoroughly enjoyed pouring samples and explaining each brew to the guys. They all really liked the beers. I had really good responses to my KY BOURBON BARREL ALE and my MAD HATTER CLONE as far as being real close to right on...My robust porter was well received also.
Anyway these guys were cool as hell. kind of old hippie types for the most part ( I think I counted 5 harleys in the barn and garage) there was a full sized teepee in the yard. The owner of the property asked me to follow him to his garage he had something he wanted to show me. he had a fridge full of beer and the most common one was ***** modelo.. he had stuff I had never heard of. When I went to leave I offered to leave the extra beers with him and I was telling him what was what.. he held his hand up and said, just tell me what they are when you come back and we drink em. I had a great time and my oldest son went with me and he had a ball. I played guitar and sang for probably an hour with my buddy who invited me down. I am not sure what this has to do with beginning beer brewing but it was all because of the brewing that I was invited.

Awesome man. That KY BOURBON BARREL ALE sounds mighty tasty. Where'd you get the bourbon barrels?

got a stave from a knob creek barrel and cut it up and soaked in woodford reserve bourbon for 2 weeks then racked the finished beer over that for a week then bottled.

Great stuff, mate. Sounds like a pretty perfect evening.

What did you play/sing??:rockin:

Awesome man.
I moved to Ohio recently from Indiana and have yet to meet these kind of folks. But I am really happy for your meeting a new group of guys to hang with.

These are the kinds of things that I read that is making me get into brewing. I live right across the river from Cincinnati in Northern Kentucky and my friends and I like to drink and try new beers. We hit up party source and by any beer not made by the big three distributors. Would have to say PBR is still one of my favorite beers.
