What's new

What you sippin on?

A little No.9

For being 5min out of the fermentor this beer is putting a huge smile on my face. Let's see if I can do what I want and leave a full keg of it alone until poker night.

Tomorrow I brew Honey Hole a Classic American Pilsner. Named in honer of two of my favorite Jazzfanz posters, fishonjazz and TroutBum.

Edit: Just saw that Kentucky finished their season with a perfect record! Amazing. Fitting that I kegged #9 just as they were putting a cap on their perfect season.

Amen. And bless your soul.
 
Just back from my first ever home brew club meeting. Went to the Lauter Day Brewers open meeting tonight. Been sippin' on all sorts of stuff. Most of it pretty good. One to avoid, a commercial brew, is Crazy Brewski, a 15%abv imperial pilsner. The guy passing it out was giving a disclaimer and pouring about 1/2oz into anyone's cup who would accept it. **** was nasty.

Tried a couple good ones. Passed out a few of my own. They had the QA manager from Epic brewing there to tell us how we could set up our own home QA lab for under $200. Pretty interesting. The guy came with his pretty hot GF and during his power point his disclosed he got his degree from the U of Kentucky. His GF was standing off to the side of a circle I was standing in passing out my #9 and I was talking about it with the owner of the Salt City Brew Supply and he basically called it out as being similar to Bell's Two Hearted, I told him that was basically what I was after and that I had brewed it for a guy I knew from Kentucky who was a huge Wildcats fan and that it was called #9, definite head turn from the hot chick married to the QA manager from Epic.

Good times.

Lauter Day Brewers is by far the most award winning home brew club at the Beehive Brew Off. I certainly felt like a small fish in a big pond.
 
1bazzillion percent Canada sucks at whiskey. Give me whiskey from anywhere as long as it isn't Canada.

Crown Royal is ****ing garbage!

There's some good stuff round here, from what I've heard. Not the commonly-exported stuff doe.


One of my friends loves whisky-- he has some of this in his cabinet, and ppl always faun after it (never had it myself doe).

The Calgary Stampede (Commemorative) Whisky is a single bond offering produced entirely from corn distillate and aged for 25 years in charred American white oak. It is blended entirely with naturally sourced Rocky Mountain spring water, and has a limited production of only 6000 bottles. In order to maintain good contact with the oak during the lengthy aging process, this bond was re-gauged or re-barreled twice during its aging life. New barrels were not introduced when Highwood distiller’s made the liquid consolidation. Instead they chose to maintain the aging process in the original barrels into which the spirit began its maturation.

How is the calgary stampede? Down here we have the Houston Rodeo. It's a huge spectacle where everything BUT the rodeo is the main attraction. John Legend played yesterday, food is delicious, lots of games and rides. I've heard the stampede is awesome too.

And here I thought I'd bring some down to Utah if I ever came over.

Calgary is 300km south of where I live-- everyone I know who's been there says its ****ing awesome. The entire city shuts down for stampede. Personally, I've never been. Easily the biggest festival of Western Canada tho (up there with all of Canada).

Edit: In terms of economic impact, the Stampede is the highest grossing festival in Canada, according to Wikipedia.
