Big Brew Day 2010

Last weekend my homebrew club participated in the big brew day event.

Here is the video of that day: Big Brew Day 2010

The letter "A"

Apparently, the letter A is quite expensive. In short, a person visited a local brewery in San Diego and felt the sampling (beer) he was consuming might poison him. Now, ALL breweries in San Diego and I'm sure the rest of California are now having to answer to the Department of Environmental Health. You can read Port Brewing/Lost Abbey's Tomme Arthurs blog on this subject here --> Lost Abbey blog.

NHC - QUAFF

The National Homebrew Competition 1st round just published there results and it looks like my homebrew club did well, by winning a combined 25 medals. Pretty good showing and by far the best club showing in the region. Good luck in the second round guys.

Sheesh!

What can I say,

School is sucking the life out of me! Ok, enough of that.

Ever wonder what it would be like to sell your homebrew? Well, tonight (5pm pdt) The Brewing Network will be interviewing 3 nano scale breweries. Should be interesting story to see how/where they run their business. Click here --> for link to the BN!

Go Rockies!

1986...

I remember that year well. My family had just moved us kids into a new house in the city and us kids were adjusting to new schools. I also remember that year due to an unfortunate event, the Challenger rocket exploding shortly after takeoff. I was very young, but I do remember that my school made this event a big deal and ushered us into the cafeteria to watch the replays.

As the video states, laptops were just introduced into the marketplace, email had its first definition and I'm sure that beer existed in america....

Thus began my fascination with building & flying model rockets!

Do you remember 1986?...
