Just a quick update since it’s been quite a while. We got back from vacation earlier last week and we had a blast. It was good to catch up with our overseas friends, see the sites, and have our fill of beer you can’t get here. Kristin has already quickly processed most of the pics and hopefully this link will take you to view them here.
I also finished working up a spreadsheet of the upcoming mountain bike race season and you should be able to view it here.
Not much else is going on, just recovering from the vacation, physically and financially, ha. Haven’t brewed any beer for more than a month now. I ended up brewing a Belgian Dark Strong and a Scottish 80 Export before leaving for vacation though and they are tasting pretty good. The dark strong is a little hot and I’ll need to age the alcohol taste out of it a little, nothing a little lagering won’t take care of. The Scottish 80 turned out just about what I was looking for. It’s still young, but it managed to take 3rd place in the BURP Scottish Ale competition last weekend. In addition to those two beers, I’ve got a sweet stout and an imperial stout on tap. Next up is the house IPA and a Belgian Strawberry Wit.
I’ll be sure to get back here soon and post a few photos and some stories from vacation.
