Why I Like Home Brew Town

[Inkleg]

Will you be the first to lay down new tracks to the door?

Nope, I'm already in there enjoying the camaraderie and a cold one with the rest of HBT. This is a much larger place than it looks from the outside.

May what ever makes you happy, bring you peace this holiday season.

Cheers,
Jeff

Great place to chill with a winter warmer! Wrote a few more pages of my latest book yesterday so I can enjoy a few out today.

Yooper's tavern there on the left is still open, but the dusting has covered the footprints. Will you be the first to lay down new tracks to the door?

I love it. This passage reads like a Choose Your Own Adventure, but set in HBT.

If you choose to open the door to Yooper's Tavern, turn to page 68.

If you choose to hang out and talk to the Dwarf, turn to page 97.

If you are concerned that there might be a Hop Monster behind one of those trees, roll a D20 and turn to page 114.

There's a commercial promenade? Very nice.

I rolled a 12.

My mental image of Homebrew Town is that of a beautiful Colorado mountain town. We play hard- skiing, hunting, fishing, hiking, maybe some snow shoeing or snowmobiling. We eat well- BBQ, sourdough bread and other fermented and non-fermented wonders. We enjoy a good cigar, pipe. Of course, we wet shave when we choose to do so. Some are hot rodders, some love body art.

But, most importantly, we drink like kings and queens. Beer, Wine, Mead, Cider, Kombucha, not to mention fine liquor. We may argue, as any great neighbors do, over the benefits of double decoction, milling grains, or whether pure Oxygen injection is really necessary, but it is all in the service of hedonism and maximizing the enjoyment of life, through homemade brew. We share funny memes, we share great drinking experience with commercial brews, we argue in the debate forum.

Ultimately, we are a town, because homebrewing is something that cannot but help bring people together. While we may enjoy solitary brewing, if our passion can't be shared, what is the joy?

Merry Christmas, homebrewers.

Another year passes in Home Brew Town. We are another year older, another year wiser, another year better hydrated

The new year brings with it a cleansing, a new start (like last year!). New Year's Resolutions. There is the real promise of Hope, that we can truly learn from our past and carry the best forward, forget and discard the things that didn't work out well, and win the future.

Let's take one last moment to acknowledge the past, then put it in a box, and enter the bright future that starts in the morning.

Home Brew Town enters 2015 optimistic. Happy New Year HBT.

Happy New Year Home Brew Town.!

May your goblets never empty and life and friends bring serenity. Cheers to you one and all. Blessed is caring hearts, none to small.

 

[unionrdr]

Gotta get some more beers brewing in this town!

Some of the older ones have moved on. Life is good in Home Brew Town.

I'm still here. Just been a little preoccupied with life.

Me too!

The Fourth of July fireworks will be here before ya know it. The fourth in HomeBrew Town is spectacular! This area is heavily wooded so our fireworks are over Lake Rockwell. The whole town gathers at a large grassy clearing. Day tents, lawn chairs, picnic blankets and grills adorn the grounds. The air is subltly filled of woodsmoke and charcol and savory meats.

The Fireworks are truly a beautiful sight to behold on a warm summer's night. The glow is reflected on a clear water lake. Serenity..

The afternoon is filled with fun for all, three legged races, egg tosses for the kids, the women get together and keep on the lids.
Our town is HomeBrew Town, we made it our own. We crush barley with stainless and and sometimes with stone. Only one thing to remember and this truthis dear-

 

[unionrdr]

We're not only here for the beer! :rockin: The bbq is smokin', the beer is flowin'. Fireworks will soon fill the air, with the smoke of the bbq filling our hair. Life is good when you bbq with wood!

Home Brew Town survives Summer '15. Hoses and slip-n-slides to avoid the heat. Smell of freshly mowed grass. Sweet iced tea with lemon. Short shorts.

Our citizens did their best to find interesting things to do with their summer. Besides the pastime that our town is famous for (brewing!), we managed to make a lot of good summer food and enjoy our friends and family.

Labor day around the corner, and kids are going back to school. Evenings are just a bit cooler now, a welcome reprieve from summer's cauldron, and reminds us that fall festivities are coming. Days are getting shorter: early evenings for students, workers, lovers.

We sat on blankets and listened to the summer concerts. Time for one last picnic, then put the mower and lawn darts away.

 

[Dan]

Ahh comes September, the final cusp
Summer's last heatwaves, but end it must
Very soon October will be here
A favorite season in HomeBrewTown
For some really good beer

A favorite season in HomeBrewTown -
For some really good beer-

Time for one last picnic, then put the mower and lawn darts away.

Yeah baby, lawn jarts!

Just remember, both players stay together. None of that "you go down there, I'll play from this end" unless you're wearing one of these:

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Pickelhelm!

C'mon NFL, stop being such a bunch of pansies and earn your multi-million dollar contracts by wearing a real man's helmet.

I'd actually watch sports if I got to see that...

Now you taking all the fun out of it, I remember throwing them as high as you could

Home Brew Town enters fall, 2015.

Family gets together to strengthen those bonds we dare not let weaken. And time to remember those we haven't seen in a long time. The cold weather jars our memories of family, friends that we separated from, acquaintances that didn't work out, and those that are not here anymore.

Are any of you real?

You flit about, like sparks in the underwood of a fireplace. My world is pretty quiet, but I like to believe you all are real, sparking a great fire here. Are you real? Is Home Brew Town real?

 

[hunter_le five]

I am merely a figment of my own imagination.

No, I'm a figment of your overactive imagination.

Yes!
Absolutely real
You know that, Pappy

Home brew town is filled with individuals come together for one purpose

Good food, Home brew, togetherness and Peacefulness, decent prosperity, probably a few things. A life achieved.

And fantasizing about that too, sometimes

HomeBrewTown is about people being happy, and sharing interest. Supporting each other and relishing the good in their lives

It's about developing too. In no order: brewing talent, parenting, relationships, water chemistry, Brew stands, fermentation chambers....... Dogs and cats Yada yada. Yada

Mostly to me HBT is about a bunch of creative similar minded folk getting together; Sometimes were a family who don't always agree. But hey man. It would be boring if we were never challenged.

 

[unionrdr]

That about says it all.

I didn't see a lot of you at the Home Brew Town Christmas party Sat night - your loss. Mayor closed off Main, tons of homebrew tents set up. Lotsa fun. Who made that rye IPA, it was fantastic!

I bought 2 of the teak tap handles. Perfect addition to my keezer. And the Centennial Salsa, I need the recipe!

It's great living in Home Brew Town, everyone is just like YOU.

 

[unionrdr]

Dang, looks like i missed a good one? Oh well, we were getting ready for Christmas & making sure there's plenty of home brew...
