Ever since Aaron decided to dive into the wonderful world of beer, it has taken us on some random and exciting adventures. Last night was no exception. » Thanks to social media, we got word that a keg of Pliny the Younger was being tapped at Brouwer’s in Fremont at 10pm on the dot. We rushed over to get in line a half an hour before the keg was scheduled to be tapped, just to make sure that we could get our taste of this delicious nectar. » Having recently pilfered a few precious bottles of Pliney the Elder, Pliney the Younger’s older, hop head uncle, I knew we were in for a treat. I wouldn’t consider myself a beer geek, just someone who appreciates the million and one delicious combinations that water, malt, hops, and yeast can make but I can safely say that I would have a threesome with these boys any time, any place. » I can’t wait to try it again!
You can come out when you can properly explain the differences between Modernist architecture and postmodern ornamentation.

May I present today’s as seen on Roosevelt:
I just realized that I never posted a “Happy New Year” post - so here goes - Happy 2011 from my lil farm animals at work!
Aaron is becoming quite the brewmaster with his newly set-up man cave/brew heaven, and I have to admit I’m really getting into the home brew thing too. The first photo is of Aaron and the “Beer-bs” as we like to call it. It’s a strong Barley Wine, around 9.5%. » Unfortunately, most of this batch got too warm when it was carbonating in the bottle so it lost most of its great hop flavor. There were three bottles of it though that we squirreled away in the man cave, though which turned out great. I really can’t believe how much difference temperature makes, they taste like two completely different beers! » The second photo is of our latest batch - a strong American Bitter that we just bottled last weekend. We learned our lesson from the Beer-bs, so this one is going to be carbonated at room temperature!
Now this one just feels like that stupid kid that filmed that bag blowing in the wind in American beauty took it.

Mark my words, it’s going To be the next big Thing. That’s what she said.
