Monday Night recap: Hops for the Hopless edition
In addition to brewing a Belgian dubbel last night, we also strung up our hop plants, approximately 1 month late in the season. “Sorry, Messrs. Hops. We’ll try to do better next year. Now grow up your vines like weeds!” Do you know what’s a scary sight? Jeff with a saw.
He took it open himself to saw stakes to nail the twine down into the ground, or “assert his manhood,” as he told us. Fortunately no fingers were lost in the process.
Jeff was actually really good at threading the twine. Probably because it’s so similar to sewing. ZING! We had a great crowd last night, despite having very little beer. For which we apologize again. Sorry, we sincerely thought those kegs were full. We were also graced with the presence of Ale Sharpton ? Atlanta’s premier gangsta craft beer guru. Check him out.
And one of these days, we’ll get a real tap for our Blind Pirate Double IPA. The masking tape on the tap looks decidedly… not gangsta.
Thanks to everyone who came last night! We’re excited that the weather is finally cooperating.
Where did you get the custom taps made? And can you post a picture of the kegorator you guys are using? Just curious. I am moving to Georgia in May…can’t wait to come by on a Monday night!
Ben, we got our tap handles done at Tap Handles, Inc. http://taphandles.com/
I’ll try to be deliberate in posting a pic of our kegerators, but there are definitely some non-deliberate shots sprinkled somewhere on our website.
