Monday Night Recap:

Monday Night Recap: “Not as funny since Jonathan is not writing it” edition

I’ll start with a disclaimer that this post will not be as funny as Jonathan’s recap, nor will you find any links to incredibly attractive pictures of me.  What you will find is a fact-based dissertation of yesterday evening’s events.  Finally.

Brewing is on, help us harvest our hops!

Now that we have a new freezer, we can safely brew again. Join Jeff and Joel tonight (I will unfortunately be out of town) to break in our new fermentation chamber.

We got to the Brewgrass Festival around 1pm and the [...]

Asheville's Brewgrass Festival this weekend

Asheville’s Brewgrass Festival this weekend

Question: What is better than good beer and good bluegrass music?
Answer: Nothing.
Jeff and I are headed to Asheville this weekend to partake in the Brewgrass Festival. We invited Joel but he had a pilates class that he couldn’t get out of. This even sells out months in advance, so we’re excited. The South is well-represented [...]
