Read the comments of this newspaper article. For context, Blue Monk is a craft beer bar with 30+ taps and a decidedly Belgian take (it is called Blue MONK) and constantly wins awards. Sterling Place was a beloved craft bar open whenever the owner felt like it, only took cash, and had a hot plate...

Bottled three gallons of Belgian Golden Strong Ale. The weeks are going to go by so damn slowly now...

Talking about Pumpkin beer in August is ... it's just wrong. Having said that, Pumpking is delicious. It's already in the shelves, and the bar around the corner has it on tap. Haven't bought one on principal.

planted my rhizome (only one because we are renting and don't plan on bring here more than another year) and then it snowed. No life yet. "I will make it felony to drink small beer. "

1103. I was consolidating my various beer tools into one large toolbox, dropped the hydrometer. Unfortunately, it broke; fortunately, I dropped it into the garbage can so there was no cleanup.

That's an incredible build! Well thought out, and well executed.

Bought a new hydrometer to replace my broken hydrometer. Broke it yesterday while consolidating my brew gear into a new toolbox. At least I broke straight into the trash can. "I will make it felony to drink small beer. "

Magnesium Citrate. About to pop my third bottle of the evening. And tons of water. Big day tomorrow. Ok, gotta go...
