Who said that?

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drank, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.""
– Jack Handy, Saturday Night Live

In need of inspiration

Being pulverized by the daily grind that is Tuesday, I find myself searching for some sort of inspiration to flesh out the rest of my day. In so doing I have put together a simple acrostic poem about the life cycle of a beer.

Beer

Biological
Experimentation
Excitedly
Rapturing

I'm not sure I have reached the existential enlightenment I was looking for, but I did kill a few minutes. Happy Tuesday!

El Cajon Brewing Co. update #2

A couple of weeks has passed since my last update, and the brewery restaurant is still not open. The word now is that the opening will be in September. I will post the exact date when it is announced. East County waits with bated breath.

So, there!

Crap beer may always outsell craft beer, but craft beer will always out-taste crap beer. The moral? Don't drink crap, drink the craft! I'll step off my soapbox now, carry on.

The Hops Project

Wanting to take my homebrewing a step further, I decided to try my hand at being a hops farmer. As harvest time approaches, I will take you on a pictorial trip of my growing adventures. If all goes as planned, I will be brewing with my yield in the very near future. Stay tuned!

Where am I?
