Better Drinking

Homebrew tasting - August 5th

Last Friday, we hosted another beer tasting (our 7th event since last year), but this one was unique in that it was comprised completely of homebrewed beers. I have attached a few pictures below. Because it was a relatively small group, Michelle decided that she wanted to fix everyone dinner, instead of the customary snacks, and we held the event at our house, which is small but cozy. At least we think so.

A special thanks to my fellow brewers who were so eager to share their malt creations, and to everyone who drank virtually every drop that was poured. The reality is that we're all amateurs, but ready to learn more. If you get the inclination to host a beer tasting, let me know and I'd be happy to facilitate it for you. If not, invite me as a participant as I don't often pass up an opportunity to drink good beer with care and contemplation, and especially with good fellowship.

The beer list was as follows:

Sam

Oatmeal Pale Ale (receipe by Marek Szramel)

Josh

Kolsch
American Pale Ale

Michael

Porter
Scottish Ale
Maple Nut Brown Ale
Cream Stout

Jeff

White Beer
ESB
Saison
Belgian Strong Ale
Top-fermenting Dopplebock (made with Kolsch yeast)
Dunkel Weizen
Chocolate Stout

Here are some pictures; enjoy!!

Michael and Nathan goofing off with yours truly before the event.

Dinnertime - caesar salad, grilled teriyaki chicken, rosemary potatoes, homemade yeast rolls, and later, homemade chocolate cheesecake.

Admiring the view.

Eager-to-learn drinkers.

Lamar enjoying to the last drop.

Josh sharing his recipe secrets.

Michael sharing his recipe secrets.

Jeff savoring the aroma.

My Belgian was alive...literally!!

Sam likes the Belgian.

Sarina begs for more, Lamar enjoys what he's got.

Another shot of the tasters.

The end.

And an extra special thanks to my photographer, Ashley. Thanks sweetie.
