24 to go

I had a few beers while golfing yesterday, and one of them was a pale ale from Two Beers in Seattle.  And this beer put me at 976, only 24 to go to 1000.  I am hoping to get there this month, and also hoping to get my Untapped account caught up with all my beers so that when I hit 1000 on my list, I hit it on Untapped too.  It will be a day of accomplishments, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Also planning to brew tomorrow, with 25 gallons currently fermenting in the closet.  Time to get stocked up for the apocalypse.

Let's Pour

I have seen the link for Let's Pour a few times and haven't signed up, but with the options to share the news and get $10 off, plus get others to sign up and get another $10 off, and spin the wheel and maybe get more off, it starts to sound like a good deal.  Ordering some hard to find beers and getting free shipping when you buy 6 or more.  Let's Pour $10 off

I am up at almost 950 beers, with plans to drink a few the next few nights and get to the 950 mark.

We brewed a bunch of beer the other week and are transferring it to secondary tonight.

And the wedding beers were a great success.  The darker hef I brewed, along with the wedding weizen which was the same thing with blueberries added.  The H&JNation which used a hop schedule and grain bill similar to Ruination by Stone, and then some Lucille from Georgetown.  Because it is good.

Thanks to James for use of his killer travel beer dispensing system.  It worked great.

MORE HOPS!

Wow, free hops are awesome.  I got more free hops from Vern and DJ.  And Kennedy emailed on facebook to say he had some for us too and would store them and bring them down soon.  So this weekend we made a couple fresh hop ales, an amber and a pale.  We hope they turn out great to make the pain of dealing with spiders worth the trouble.

hop photos

Well, most of the photos now go on facebook and untapped, which is simple from my HTC.
 But I thought I would least copy over a few hop photos.  Because they are so rad and although it was long work harvesting, drying and then bagging, it smelled really good the whole time and I had a few beers at each phase, so it wasn't too horrible.

I am also at 926 beers now.  I had a He'Brew Pomegranate Amber Ale last night.  Super good and want to get some more of "the chosen beer" from these guys as they have a pretty funny line of beers with some jewish humor.

924 down, hundreds to go

Updated my list and I'm at 924 distinct beers.  With the help of untapped I have found a couple that were missing from my list, including Buffalo Bill's pumpkin and blueberry stout.  Those beers are awesome and I didn't have them on my list.  I am also slowly catching up my untapped list to match my actual list.  My hope is that before I get to 1000 I will be updating real time instead of updating the beer I drink while also adding a chunk of beers I have already had.  No more 3 badges a day once I get to that point...

Did I mention I like beer.  Just saying.
