Uno! Dos! Tres Amigos! (no brewing tonight)
As we get closer to launch, we find ourselves with more and more to do on the business side of things. Things like reading legal documents, talking to potential investors, and washing our hair.
After a holiday weekend in which Joel was completely MIA, we have decided that the best use of our time would be to knock out some business tonight, Three Amigos style. As much as we want to brew, we want to turn this into a full-scale operation even more. We’re hoping to squeeze in at least one brew before Christmas, but please know that for the next few months, business stuff will be taking higher priority than in the past, and this may affect our brew schedule adversely.
I leave you with a few quotes from Three Amigos. May they soothe your weekday-loving-soul:
Mr. Flugelman: Do you know what “nada” means?
Dusty Bottoms: Isn’t that a light chicken gravy?
Bartender: We don’t have beer. Just tequila.
Ned Nederlander: What’s tequila?
Bartender: Uh, it’s like beer.
Rosita: I was thinking later, you could kiss me on the veranda.
Dusty Bottoms: Lips would be fine.
New shipment of t-shirts just arrived!
Get them while they’re hot! $10 each!
Rain, rain, go away
It’s raining pretty ferociously and doesn’t show much promise of letting up before this evening. Brewing is canceled. Sorry folks.
Monday Night recap: “Family Friendly” edition
The babies were out in full force last night, and they brought their fathers with them. Beer just has a way of bringing together the whole family. If the above picture isn’t enough to convince you, perhaps Exhibit B will do the trick:
Actually it may be tough to make out the baby in all of that camo. He kind of blends in. We asked all of the babies in attendance to help us brew our Drafty Kilt, which would have allowed us to kick Joel to the curb. Each baby politely declined in his own way ? either by feigning sleep or staring off into the night sky. Not to be deterred, we carried on with our plans. Our mash efficiency was pretty incredible, so we ended up with more volume than we anticipated. And we are in no way complaining about that. We also kegged some stout.
On the business front, John decided to fund our entire operation with 100 trillion dollars.
We were all elated, until we realized he planned to use currency from Zimbabwe. Call me old fashioned, but I’m a bit more comfortable with American currency. Jeff is actually still rooting for the gold standard. What an idiot.
“You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.”
Brewing some Drafty Kilt
In honor of the drafty weather outside, we’ll be brewing a Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale at Jeff’s at 8pm. Join us! But remember to bring a scarf and/or kilt.
