brat, from El Portal?
I used to live there.
I haven't gotten my hands on Summer Solstice yet, and that's tomorrow!
For now it's smoked porter.
Stone is okay.
But the Alaskan is very groovy...................baby!
And Girls like beer!
Is this Debbie Burton?????

Mmm... Alaskan Smoked Porter is good.
The new El Portal store is lacking in the porter department, they've only got one.

Indeed, making good homebrew is the way to go if you can deal with how labor-intensive it is. Gave it up when I realized how much weight I was gaining cause it was SO good. If you west-coasters can find Smuttynose IPA give it a try. Brewed on an island off the coast of New Hampshire...(Smuttynose is a type of seal, not the fungal disease bats are coming down with)

i was starting to wonder about blitzo. some of the beers he doesn't like seem like they'd be good. but if he approves of the green flash he must be on the right track ;-)

What about mead? Has anyone ever tried any? I tried some homebrewed stuff about ten years ago and it was just o.k.. I recently read about a guy tasting 60 year old meads from England. He described them like fine wines.

beer report from last fall...
i was in my office on a cold and silent sunday morning.
my friend dan was laid off last week. damn. i was scheming to have a beer with that guy.
anyway. he split back to ireland with glee. i think.
he left (2) 22 oz. homebrews behind in his abandoned office.
sunday. office is quiet. pushing hand calculations. live load. dead load. allowable stress.... damn i feel like a beer.
i skip on down the hall to dan's old office. he was a good friend. all due respect....
i grab the darkest home-brew, vacate the work-place, and seat myself behing the wheel of my ride.
speeding east. as much as an '88 toyota can hustle... i grab the bottle, de-strap from my vehicle, and crack open the bottle with the male side of my seat belt.
something goes awry. the top of the bottle splits off with the cap. this thing is foaming all over the place... i shove the sharp end into my gob trying to contain all the CO2. im spittin up stout-foam all over my lap. can't capture all of the release...
i turn the bottle skywards and swallow fer all i'm worth...
foam. and stout. and some tid-bits of the broken bottle.
now things are under control. im just pleasantly sippin dan's homebrew. in all due respect.
headed eastward toward the heights.
california winter has finally arrived.
i feel as though i've taken the jacket from a dead man on the side of the mountain.
shame is me.
real-life reportings.

What about mead?
Mead was the only true failure of my brewing career. Of course that was thirty years ago, and I didn't have a clue what I was doing.
Never tried it since.

Mead is not beer!
Start a mead thread. That $hit's too sweet for me.
Try this.
Wonderful hoppyness! At 11.3% ABV. 5 or 6 of these will drop you to your knees!
Available in 22 oz. bottles only.
