Prince of Fatness
My son in law came over this past weekend and we bottled his pumpkin beer that we brewed back in March. It could have used more spices but better off erring on the less spicy side. With this knowledge in hand I took Tuesday off and brewed a holiday ale. It's a strong Belgian style ale with cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger root. It smelled like Christmas in the garage. I will let this sit in the primary for a few weeks then rack it over to a carboy where it will sit until early November, when it will be bottled.
Not at it at all.
Feeling the growl again
I might rib you for taking a day off to make beer, but they you would return it when I (might) take a day off to make wine.
That's the kind of homebrewing I'm interested in...really unique beers that are hard to come by in a store. Trent's mud-aged oatmeal stout was phenominal.

Right now I have a job that I do not hate but Tuesday I got up, went and ran some trails for an hour, then came home and brewed a batch of beer. That beats working any day.
Abita Amber from the kegerator.....mmmmm....
BTW rabutler, even up here the beer store guy asked me if I was having crawfish with it.

Darn. I was hoping no one would like it so there would be more for me
It does pair very well with boiled crawfish. I'm sure it will go well with wild game too.

This past weekend I tasted what I believe is my best home brew yet. It's a rye saison that weighs in at a well hidden 8% ABV. Damn it is tasty, and I have a case and a half of it left.
Sounds like you need a road trip Friday afternoon.
My ass cringes just thinking about a 10 hour car ride.
Today is Friday and after I get done running melting I am going to have beer. I think that I will start with a Fullers London Pride.
Carry on.
What else does WI have other than good beer? Went to the Southern Kettle Moraine area to watch the DW and her SIL do another sprint tri. Bagged the camping idea due to the weather and instead went for a hotel with A/C and a pool for the kiddos. Delafield Brewhaus less than a mile down the street....Delafield Amber was quite tasty. After the tri this morning, they had the Amber on tap. Good stuff.

Cheese curds.
Frozen custard.
OK, yeah there are the curds and frozen custard. Kopps (in Milwaukee) is one of our favorites for custard. Also can't forget about Nueske's...great meats. Next week, I'll get to see what the UP has to offer.
