Week in Review
Thursday (8/12): Plane delayed coming back from Texas, just barely got to Max’s Rare & Obscure, met Marlon of Vino Rosino, received first brewing gig – for Marlon’s 30th birthday we’re brewing up a batch of Old #1 Pale Ale a.k.a Marlon’s XXX Pale Ale.
Friday (8/13): Anticipation of SFB’s first brewing gig, anticipation of turning in our Pratt Street Ale House homebrew contest entry, dreams of both going well.
Saturday (8/14): Dropped off Devil’s Tale Ale at the Pratt Street Ale House, looked around for other entries in the homebrew contest so that I could sabotage them, found none, drank the evil ale, smiled devilishly, enjoyed pro-brewed craft beers (save one Boh) at various spots around the city.
Sunday (8/15): No beer but rocked out to Ray Lamontage at Merriweather, he started off slow but then really got into it, did an amazing version of “Shame,” first song on the new CD is so funky, David Grey shakes his head like a crazy person when he sings, left half way through David Grey’s set.
Monday (8/16): Worked on converting the Old #1 recipe from extract to all grain, planned to go to Maryland Homebrew to get ingredients and then brew, found out that Maryland Homebrew is closed on Monday, #fail, Thirsty Brewer?, also closed on Mondays, #doublefail.
Tuesday (8/17): Realized that those two-bit hacks over at ESPN started up their much lamer Tuesday Morning Quarterback column, shook my fist at my laptop screen, calmed down, decided that I must not write a TMQ this week lest it be confused with the pile o’ dung over at ESPN.com.
Wednesday (8/18): WMQ returns! At least I think I’ve done one of these before. Attempt to buy ingredients for Marlon’s XXX Pale Ale take 2. If all that goes well, there will be a rain brew today.
