Always good to go home...

...to drink the local brew! During the most recent trip I discovered a slew of good brews and breweries! Home is Albuquerque, NM and Marble Brewery is the place. I had a Bavarian Pale Lager (prob. top 3 best pre-prohibition pilsners I've had) , Marble Red (solid american red), and Wildflower wheat. They have a great pub vibe and only serve beer.

On my way home I had a stop over in Flagstaff and what do you know a brewpub across the street from my hotel. The place is Beaver St. Brewery, I recommend their Big Rapid Red...mmm GOOD!

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a Bevmo where I found my old favorite, Hazed & Infused from Boulder Beer in CO. and Nimbus brewing's Old Monkeyshine.

San Diego Beer Week in full effect...

Visit here to find out the happening on the second half of the week!

SD Beer Week

Amazing...

Rock Art brewery has won their legal battle!

The Vermonster is now saved, read all about it.

Wish I could drink all about it.

Thanks for the heads up Chipper Dave.

Rock Art Brewery and their Vermonster

Support, Rock Art Brewery! I have an affinity to Kokopelli's so they already have my sympathy. Good luck guys!

I love autumn

When football games are on the tube and cross country season starts, then you know that the days will be getting shorter, the leaves will be changing and autumn beers are on top!

One of my favorite beers from The Bruery is now on tap. It's made with yams, Autumn Maple. They also make a delicious Berliner Weisse.

If your in the area they are worth a drink or two, as they have an awesome tasting room.

What is happening...

I have completely lost track of posting...

I hope to get back to brewing and posting on a regular basis.

School is kicking my butt!!!!

and, not leaving me time for anything.

Oh well, at least I'm getting in regular exercise...?

Session Ale festival

Today there is a session ale festival at Pizza Port San Clemente. I wish I were there right now! There will be 30+ beers on tap, all under 5% alcohol, various different styles.$25 admission gets you comemorative logo pilsner glass and six 6 ounce tasters. $1 per additional taster. While maybe a great deal I think this is a great idea and a long time coming.

Woahhh?

What happened? I can't believe I have not posted in well over a month. To tell you the truth homebrewing has been non-existent and nothing to write home about. I have been busy with summer school, oh dear god. Anyway, it's over now and I would like to brew sometime soon. In fact, I am collaborating with a friend to brew a batch in the near future. I'm not sure what it will be, probably a kolsch or a lager of some sort.

Question of the week? If you created a beer recipe do you own it or does your employer? (Assuming you didn't sign a contract stating so.)

I'm back baby!
