Turbo Dog, and/or Purple Haze by Abita I find better than their IPA, despite my inherent love of the hops.


Took my first trip today to the Austin brewing shop with a friend preparing to make another batch. All I can say is, I need to teach myself some shit and get this thing started... wow!

For learning about brewing check out howtobrew.com. Corny I know but lots of info and easy to read.

Thanks bro, and no I haven't got any labels, other that the smiley face with crossbones I will draw on the caps with a sharpie as soon as I approve of the results.

MacTarnahan's Amber Ale and also MacTarnahan's Blackwatch Cream Porter. More local breweries, I know... damn the west coast. And damn Portland Or., which contains more microbreweries than any other city in America. And to think I moved here for a woman 7½ years before I started drinking again.

hey, i am not complaining, i have probably a hand full of breweries (restaurants) within driving distance....

[Southtown]

That's cool. I only have a few microbreweries close to me, and I live about three hours from Portland, but my stores all carry their microbrew, darnit ta hell. =P

Hey PS guys I scored a Young's Double Chocolate. It was good, but I'm not big on chocolate really, so I prefer some of the other stouts like Guiness or that local Double Eagle I mentioned.

For my next batch, I'm brewing an imperial stout, but it's from a kit, so I don't know how it will turn out. But after that, I plan on hand picking the ingredients depending on how I think the kit stout can be improved.

My batch is looking better. Four days into bottling it's clearing up and carbonating nicely. It still tastes like priming sugar though. I'm trying to get to the bottom of my overflow jug so I can use the yeast at the bottom on a gallon of apple juice. =P

My new favorite. Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout =P

Looking at the woods in the background of your picture, I find myself longing to share a beer with you on your porch. Nice shots, mate!

I went to the store today with the intention of buying some good beer, but chose instead to get some great cheese to share with my girlfriend instead. One of these days, I'll be able to finish my house, nix the budget, and buy both.


Cheers all.

Thanx you sir. On that note, I shall upload some of my favorite view photos to my album, lol. And I understand about that budget jazz, I just ran out of tax return. =/ I still owe the wife for that bottle of oat stout I just photographed. haha f-it
