NTHBA represented at Ommegang

Howdy. I trust life in TX is treating y'all well. I attended "Belgium comes to Cooperstown" at Ommegang brewery this weekend. About 60 breweries showed up with Belgian beers, many of them sours. Yum. :) Thought I should let you know that the NTHBA was represented. The theme was "the B...

HOPS BOPS 2007

OK, so I've gotten myself somewhat situated with a group here in Philly, and we're running a competition ourselves. Naturally, I volunteered to run the web site. You'll find that the registration page looks rather familiar to the Limbo Challenge page (hmmm....I wonder how that could be?), albeit wit...

It ain't the same here in PA either. My experience, though, is different from Bill's. I went to a beer-club party this weekend and only brought 2 of my kegs. I was tempted to bring more, but I thought I should *try* to be polite. This would be my first intro to many of club members who don't make it...

I'm killing time at work (not working) and was surfing around. I noticed that Sir John has surpassed the 100 mark, and is now promoted to Assistant Brewer. I believe he's the first one.

The guy does post....

Yeah....when I put the website together, I went through the old msn site and looked at what was there. To get the present photo album to recognize and display all of those photos, I would have had to upload them one at a time, and I simply refused to do that, employed or otherwise. So I grabbed the ...

Almost always, you will get score sheets back with judges comments. Occasionally, papers get lost, and even beers get lost (this happened to me twice in BlueBonnet). But that's to be expected. The main reason people enter competitions is to get feedback. I'm in Philly now, and detailed evaluation of...

You can't give up. Man, you brew great beer!!! You've simply fallen off (or onto?) the wagon. What gives?

I am so sorry for y'all. TABC is one aspect of TX that I will not miss. PA's alcohol commision's quirk (that I have thus far discovered) is that beer is sold separately from hard liquor and wine. The later two are run in state liquor stores that Stalin would be proud of, and the beer is sold in quan...

However, I also won't be seeing you in Denver, either: http://www.beertown.org/events/nhc/1st_round.html (Look under Category 18 in the NE section.) Gee, Steve, I don't see your name on the list....

So I got my scoresheets Friday. I entered three beers, one of which advanced to round 2. So that means that I have 8 score sheets. Funny, the only sheet with a beer stain on it is the one judged by our very own Fred David. (Thanks for the high score in the 1st round of old ales. I think the second b...
