I check out the shelves of the thrift store at Saint Vincent de Paul’s at least once a week. It’s just a few blocks from the office where I work and I need to get out of that office and take a walk every day or my head will asplode and the cleaning crew hates… Read.

We slept like babies last night, probably because we’re not used to moving heavy appliances. For months, we’ve been talking about getting a small, second-hand refrigerator to keep at the bottom of the stairs in the basement for beer, soda pop, fresh fruit and various other sundries that fill up the big fridge in the… Read.

Bottling Day! Allow me to introduce you to My Darling Brew, a beer formulated especially for My Darling B, who likes a beer that is not too bitter and not too heavy. I brewed this batch with extra light malt extract and the mildest bittering hops I could get my hands on, then added a… Read.

The spam robots have found my weakness. Every day, they post gibberish comments to my blog posts (spam robots are my most loyal readers) that are strings of random words, or sometimes they look like phrases and sentences pulled from internet search results.

And to make it extra-special, I’m going to live blog it, or as much of it as I can without interrupting the process, because when it comes down a choice between to satisfying you, my faithful reader (you are still out there, aren’t you?), or successfully brewing a batch of beer, you’re… Read.

I drove in to work today instead of riding my bike. The weather forecast called for high winds this afternoon and evening, and I hate biking against a headwind more than I hate biking through the rain, so I gave it a miss. Still left work at four-thirty, though. This being Thursday, it’s customary for… Read.

3rd batch
The third batch of beer brewed this year is BOTTLED! And, if I may say so myself, it tastes pretty darned good. I brewed this one thinking that I wanted it to be a little darker and a little maltier than the first one, but I still wanted a zingy hop flavor, so I threw… Read.

I’m pretty sure My Darling B would agree with me when I say that Wednesday night we had the most fun during Madison Craft Beer Week, starting with our visit to Natt Spil for dinner and a couple glasses of beer from New Belgium Brewery. From there, we went up Pinckney Street to The Old… Read.
