I thought as a Level 2 offender it wasn't your choice?

 

[DakotaRules]

Wow. That was fckin cool. Not gonna lie.

We kicked all of the kegs except the Mild (not at all surprised. Its a really nice beer but just not a style I thought we would sell)

Thanks for coming last night guys. It was really cool having folks come out for it.

We've gotten some really nice words said out on the interwebs and the Ale Street News took some pics and is gonna give us some publicity. The whole night went better than we could have hoped.

Wish I could have made it. Glad everything went well.

So, I went to ratebeer.com to see if anyone had posted any reviews of Bog Iron's offerings yet. I know the beer's been out for what, 36 hours now, but figured that at least Cape would be posting five-star reviews under a half-dozen fictitious user names.

And so I put "Bog Iron" in the "advanced search" bar... and one beer shows up.

Now THAT'S funny.

Should have made it an imperial mild

Now that would be a small twist on an existing style.

They don't twist. They spin.

Is that the one where PTN made the best beer evah, then decided to change a bunch of stuff in subsequent versions?

Troo.

Why does he get the credit on that beer? I had 50% to do with that batch. Subsequent ones though, he changed everything and I gave up trying to fight the "king of beer making".....

How many times do we have to go over this? You are the sidekick. You only get credit as reflected off of my brilliantly shining star. I'm Superman, you're Jimmy Olsen; I'm Mr Peabody, you're Sherman; I'm Ralph Cramden, you're Ed Norton; I'm the Skipper, you're Gilligan; I'm Gladys Knight, you're a Pip.

If it were left to you to run the operation, you would be Barrtles, I would be James.

That's why.

Any of you Massholes headed to trinity in Norton tonight? Should be a good time with some good beer.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Welp... I'll be honest, crushing 12 kegs is fun. 1/6th kegs but still.

 

[yeager1977]

Not bad at all. Guess they may actually stock your beer now? I assume the trial was a success for them?

 

[Cape Brewing]

We don't know. We didn't talk to them about it last night. We were just trying to ge through the night in one piece. Frank is heading over there today to grab all of the empty kegs and the rest of our stuff. He is going to talk to them about it then.

 

[day_trippr]

Congrats on getting through what had to be a fairly intense couple of weeks, Cape...

Cheers!

 

[homebeerbrewer]

I had a great time at both events. The Stinger IPA, Blond, and Black Steam were all great beers. I didn't try the mild, I saved the water for the ride home. Congrats guys, well done.

 

[paulthenurse]

I liked the mild, it was a nice easy drinking beer. It's a shame that beers like that get left at the wayside because they aren't sexy enough. If its not "Imperial" or "dry hopped with super secret proprietary hops, grown hydroponically in Hawaiian rain forest water and only harvested during a full moon" the beer illuminati won't buy it. Too bad. It was a good beer.

 

[day_trippr]

If I read the Bog' site right, it looks like Cape scored a couple of taps at Trinity.

That's pretty damned cool right there...

Cheers!

300ml/dl?

 

[paulthenurse]

300ml/dl?

Milliliters in deciliters. 300/1000 of a liter in 1/10th of a liter. (A liter is about a quart). A really, really small amount. Unless you are talking about an alcohol level in someone's bloodstream. Then it's significant. Even somewhat impressive, unless you are talking about a professional drinker. I think of 300 as the gateway to being truly drunk, where I need to start worrying about protecting airways, etc.

Three guys go away fishing every summer for years and years. Finally one of the guys says he can't go, his wife vetoed the annual fishing trip. His buddies are bummed out but understand. When the big weekend comes they arrive at the camp to find him already there, sitting on a camp stool beside a cooler full of beer.

"What happened, we thought you couldn't come?"

"Well, last night she came into our bedroom wearing a sexy nighty, carrying a copy of the Fifty Shades of Grey book and a pair of handcuffs. She had me handcuff her to the bed frame and told me to do what I wanted to do."

"And?"

"I did. Got here about 9 last night and caught six fish already."

 

[Cape Brewing]

LOL!!!!! I get it!! She was talking about sex and he chose to go fishing instead!!!

Ahhhhahahahahahah!!

Classic

Soper only went with "Cape" because we hung out for a couple beers at the NHC two years ago out in San Diego so we've met.

No, sorry Sop'. Not making it this year. Got a ton of guys from my club going but I got too much going on to make the trip

Shucks, at least send down some beers. What about MI next year?

 

[Cape Brewing]

Shucks, at least send down some beers. What about MI next year?

Pretty skeptical on future NHCs unfortunately... unless it is in freakin' Boston. I am way beyond busy these days. Let me know if you're going to be swinging through anywhere up around these parts though. Our beers will be on tap at a couple of different places and if you're really nice, I might give you a PERSONAL tour of the ENTIRE brewery.

I know..

it's a cool offer..

 

[paulthenurse]

Alas , we've seen the last of Cape at the NHC. BUT we can look forward

 

[paulthenurse]

To seeing him at future industry shows, like the Beer Summit, etc. Look hard. Real hard. Over there. Past Sam Adams. Past Harpoon. Past Pretty Things. Past Slum Brew.

Yup, over in the corner by the ladies room. They'll be the ones with the "Sorry, no more beer" sign at their booth. You'll find Cape sitting behind the booth, all glassy eyed, mumbling "We wanted to put a spin on it. We put a spin on it. Spin on it. Spin on it, spin on it.""

 

[paulthenurse]

Actually I bet Cape will be at the MI show next year. He's hoping to go and hang out with his adoring fan club. "We love you, Cape. "You're the best, Cape." "I wanna do just what you did, Cape."

Aaaannnd, if he's wicked lucky, Revvy will stop by! How frickin' cool will that be?

"Hey Bri, show me your Vette and I'll tell you about the time I wrote about my date with the left handed midget lesbian from Latvia."

 

[Cape Brewing]

(Yawn)

Per usual, your embarrassing level of jealousy continues to be your undoing.

 

[paulthenurse]

Ya.

You're right.

You got me.

I'm jealous. I wish I could empty my IRA and piss away the past few decades worth of savings all for the opportunity to walk into a bar and pay a bartender $7.50 to pour me a beer I brewed.

I'm missing out on the opportunity to lean over the bar, sneak a peak down her shirt and whisper to her, "You know, I'm the guy who brews the Bog Water..."

"We're out of f'ing Bog Water. Again. How 'bout a PBR? $2.00 drafts till 6."
