Hoppiness is a warm IPA

This 7% ABV will get you toasted if you drink it to fast. Would you slow down! this is not a race!

All drunken booziness aside, this is by far the best IPA I have had all summer.

Typist

So I am helping a friend bottle a Dunkelweizen tonight which is in need of a label. It takes a good hour or so to bottle so I'm offering an extra pair of hands. I like to think our beer bottling motto is "more beer in the bottle than the kitchen floor" and/or "Every Drop Counts", but sometimes that is not true (especially if there are copious amounts of brew being had in celebration).

Until then, I have my brainstormin' cap on creating a label. Hopefully, it will pour.

Colour Scheme Ideas: black, grey, gold, red, maroon, and maybe brown or cream

In the meantime, I am sharpening my handwriting skills, practicing my typography, and trying to remember to use proper punctuation.

It's a Virtue

I made the mistake of purchasing a pound of "off the shelf" whole bean coffee the other day. Now I usually pick up my freshly roasted beans from Andersons, but I was in a pinch, on foot and needed coffee the next day. Really bad mistake. (The coffee snob in me has been rolling her eyes ever since.) So now I have this bag of coffee I must suffer though until I get to the good stuff.

I'm not a very patient person, but I try, but really this stuff is just blah.

So yeah, patience. And some things I'm waiting for: Grad School, Flying Cars, complete happiness, that Masi Cross bike, and a better cup-o-coffee. I'd say that cup will come first then maybe flying cars. If I'm lucky maybe that bike!

and a cool blog link!

MissConnection

It's been a long, wonderful, hot day. Time to crack open that night cap!

The real question is, after a day of drinking: Can I finish all 22 ounces of this Stonebrew IPA?

So it's been a strange month, settling into a new job, a new apartment (two weeks of moving-never again) and some disconnection on my part. I'm doing that thing again, yeah that thing where I become a recluse and don't realize it. (Don't be a dick. So what. I appreciate my solitude.)

Anyway, I just try to show up in costume and cape when I'm suppose to.
