  • Natt Spil

    I used to work on cap square so I must have walked I don’t know how many times past Natt Spil and wondered what was in there. It looked like maybe it was a restaurant, or it could have been a bar, but then again for all I could tell from the minimal signage and Read.

    This weekend marked the beginning of Madison Craft Beer Week, and we started it by passing on the fish fries that were going on everywhere and heading for The Malt House for Red Eye Happy Hour, where the Red Eye Breweryfrom Wausau had about a half-dozen of their beers on tap. My Darling B ordered Read.

    Madison Craft Beer Week is going to kick off a pre-party at our favorite neighborhood tavern, Alchemy Cafe featuring some scarce beers that we rarely get in this neck of the woods. Much as we’d like to be there, the party starts at 9:30. We’ll be fast asleep by 9:30 because we’re old and our Read.

    The latest batch of beer went from a quiet pool of brownish coffee-like soup to a swirling mix of bubbles and suds that overflowed and spilled all over the counter top and dribbled onto the floor.

    I spent Sunday afternoon stirring barley malt and hops into a kettle of boiling water in the garage. Tell me that’s not living well. I’m shooting for a darker brew this time. I don’t know why. I just like dark beers, that’s all. So I started by stuffing a couple bags with a mix of Read.

    Oh hey, looky here. Beer. Lots of it. I managed to get 34 pints out of this batch, same as last time. It seems to be my lucky number. This is the second batch of the season, which I decided just tonight to call Packs A Wallop because it somehow ended up with a pleasantly Read.

    Today’s featured brewery brings us this tasty import from lands far, far away: ADDED after comments: Read.

  • bottled!

    Bottled! It’s 34 pints of red ale, the first batch of the year, and it tastes pretty good – there’s always enough left over in the bottom of the tub for a swig. It’s a little sweeter than I thought it would be, sweet enough that I was just a little bit worried that fermentation Read.

  • head space

    Beer again. Count yourself lucky. It’s either this, or space geekery. I don’t have the brainpower to come up with anything more original than this right now. A lot of nice details in this photo, as bad as it is, and it’s pretty bad. I couldn’t even be bothered to angle it so the overhead Read.

    Belly up to the bar, folks, this beer’s on me! Read.
