Updates...cables, EBF, new beer and stuff...

What's up, y'all....sorry about the delay in blogging(because, I know you hang on my every word), but my cat-5 cable busted last week and we just got around to replacing it! Anyway...after a long, long Saturday at the Extreme Beer Festival in Boston I'm here to report that I have tried not one, but, TWO beers made with bacon. Yes, that's right bacon. I even tasted a beer called key lime pie. A beer made with lime, marshmallow, and graham cracker. It tasted it exactly like you think it would. Well, the best part of the festival was seeing all of our friends from the likes of Smuttynose and Cambridge Brewing and finally checking out Lord Hobo. Scuba Steve and our manager C-Mack were a ton of fun to hang with. Not to spill the beans, but we came up with our own extreme beer at exactly 6 p.m. on Saturday. It will be on draught June 1...details to follow.

Notes:

40-Love is flying out the door! Feedback has been favorable and the beer has definitely hit its stride. Good carbonation let's a little bit of the strawberry aroma escape and it also has just the hint of strawberry in the finish.

Blue Boots IPA was made yesterday. Most finishing hops ever. I said ever. Stinky, stinky beer. Get ready.

Weizenheimer is pouring. A super dry wheat beer that tastes great. In fact, I'm having one right now. Shhhh, don't tell.

Wee Heavy Weekend...our scotch ale looks to be on tap for the weekend. Big malt. Can't wait to have this one with our ploughman's platter.

Speaking of Europe...If you haven't seen the Irish music up close and personal on Sundays, I highly recommend it! This place goes nuts from 3-6. In fact, we are making stout earlier than scheduled in honor of the crew playing the tunes!

That's all I have at the moment, kids....but now that I have my cable back-beware! PLB-Boog
