Jesus in a mug

Did you see the moon tonight?  Beautiful.  It was one of those evenings where daylight gives way to moonlight with no perceivably dark void.  The whole day was nice – sunshine, cool crisp November air and….. Beer.  Yes, this magical day gave us a beer for the masses.  An ale that’s not too hoppy, not too strong, and not too dark.  It’s the kind of beer your Bud guzzling Father-in-law or your beer snobish friend from Seattle would like.  It’s everybody’s beer.  It’s Jesus in a mug.

Love your beer.

Still need a name for the beer shack, shed, brewery, hut, hovel.

Brew-ed

Funny word, brewed, makes me think of dirty, drunk, angry group of Irish men hunting werewolves.

Also makes me think of great and wonderful things that take you to new heights and new places.  Things that allow you to celebrate or escape.

I brewed yesterday for the first time in my new brewshed (still need a name).  After tediously fixing a kabillion things that weren’t right, like the Pacer, the beer actually came out great – so far.  All the money and work that went into this brewshed pays off when you boil hopped up wort in a 12×12 space.  The aroma fills your brain with pleasantness.  The 8.1% beer will be a bonus.

Here are some pic’s of the beer giving God.
