Aaaaah...that's better! Belgian Strong Dark. Stuck it the freezer to chill it and it made a little Icee in the neck. Oops. But it's good! And a 22 ozer! I think I'll get away from the computer and crash on the couch for this last one. Night all!

Stone Double Bastard. Regretting not getting a few while I was in Anchorage. Now I'm back in my "damp" bush town, where selection is very (poorly) limited and overpriced. Waiting for my bush order to arrive.

Mark's Vanilla Pumpkin Porter. I'm afraid I got an infected bottle :-/

Also had his saison which was very good, really enjoyed that one.

Sorry about the infection - nothing added post-boil other than the vodka soaked vanilla so it must have been the bottle :(

At least the power is on, right?

Oolong here. Going to help a friend bottle some beer this morning.

Yes. Other than a momentary flicker on Wednesday morning we've had it, so in that regard we are lucky. I just hope the FedEx Office has it and is open today so I can ship out an eMAW.

I hope they do too and get your package delivered today! Just got the coffee pot going. Almost out of the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Come payday I'm ordering a roaster and a bunch of green coffee.

No worries, it was still good, in a funky kind of way. Just not how you intended I'm sure.

I'm on the water as well.

Perhaps a guided meditation would help you. :rockin: :D

I really want to reach through the phone and punch the guy on the other end of this conference call. Hopefully my hatred for him is thinly veiled enough...

He's difficult enough to work with in person, but on the phone he takes it to a whole other level...

EDIT: finished my coffee, need another...
 
Hahahaha, thank you for that. But it would appear that BGBC may need it more than me at this point...

Ah, I'm over it. It's a client who loves to hear himself talk, and doesn't add any value.

At least my management has my back and was on the call to shoot him down as well.
 
People suck. Water and some oats. Gym time, bishes.
 
Earl Grey for me. Just finished setting up account with a new yeast lab here in MI. Ill only be brewing with fresh lab grown strains only days old from now on. The first two I ordered ( will be ready at end of next week) Conan and a Belgian saison :ban:

That is awesome! I wish I had something like that local here, I will be setting up a commercial account with a lab in Colorado soon for the brewery since I'm the house "yeast/brewing science" nerd.

Coffee and oatmeal for breakfast.

Breakfast of champions! You make me realize my coffee doesn't have enough stout in it :mug:
 
Looks like Inbev just bought Blue Point. Guess that is their plan. Buy craft breweries instead of making better beer.

That kind of stuff pisses me off! What self-respecting craft brewer would sell out to InBev? The exact reason most people decide to drink homebrew is because BMC beers are crap. I don't have much confidence that operations will stay the same. They'll find a way to ruin the new brand too.

I'd rather go out of business and sell off my equipment than take a helping hand from InBev. *********s!

I agree with you regarding going out of business vs. selling out to InBev. One can hope they won't change recipes or processes. It's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they continue to brew "flawed" beer with Rolling Rock in order to stay true to the brand.
