Re: What are you brewing for Bluebonnet?
Seems like everyone is a stealth brewer! I've got 6 of the styles you listed also. You have good taste!
Is your beer intimate, hand crafted, and artisanally made?
Re: What are you brewing for Bluebonnet?
Since Saturday, I've brewed a Mild, an Ordinary Bitter, a Scottish 80/-, and an APA. I have just enough time to get them ready for entry and judging. In addition, I'll have an Old Ale, an Belgian Strong Dark, an Alt already brewed. I have 4 or 5 others that I'm considering entering also.

Re: What are you brewing for Bluebonnet?
Good lord you guys brew a lot! Now my wife would say "too much", but that's just crazy talk. I'm envious and have to wonder if some of you guys have to work for a living...
Anyway, I just dropped off the schwartzbeir that I showered with Saturday, an american brown, and a scottish ale. A paltry submission by most of your standards, but I DO have a job!

Re: What are you brewing for Bluebonnet?
Did I hear violins playing in the background? Just kidding. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to brew as much as I had hoped. I've only got 32 entries, sigh. That's 18 individual, and 14 team entries. That's $224.00 in entry fees!
