The Snakeye Brewery in it’s full glory. I had started getting into homebrewing back in 2001 when I graduated college. Back then, it was just the simple stove-top solution: add a bunch of malt syrup (made from barley) into a pot and boil it with a tea-bag of [...]
Before I left for my last overseas trip, I got to shoot some 105mm rounds from a Gunship (covered in The Big Guns). Most pilots know that rounds from big guns can be turned into drinking containers; hell, the 20mm shells from the F-16 can be seen in the form [...]
Ok, I’ll put away my cheesy (but ever so horrible) American-German accent now…
Pam happened to notice about a week ago that Savannah was having its first Craft Beer Festival and surprised me with tickets to it. It was on Saturday, which is fine because week 1 of college football was [...]
The idea of this beer has been in a conceptual process for almost a year now. Again, you can read the background here. It all started when I lost a bet to Astro over the ‘07 BCS Bowl when Florida creamed Ohio State. As the game progressed and the beers [...]
For the most part, I think I’m finally adjusted to the Army ops-tempo. Rarely do I get more than 2 weeks at home at a time due to either deploying, Army TDYs and Air Force TDYs. Last week and this week mark the first time I’ve been home for 2 [...]
After we get done from a long 12hr day at the various bombing ranges throughout England, we stop by a pub nearby (so far we’ve managed to hit different pubs each time) for dinner and a pint. Like in Germany, I’ve tried to stick to the native foods and beers. [...]
With the garage finally in order, I was going to brew up a special-edition of Nut Cream this weekend, but it looks like the Snakeye Brewery won’t open up until August or so. Looking ahead, I need to be home at least a few weeks at a time to [...]
Not his ass, but his winnings from the extremely disappointing BCS Championship game. Yeah, I’m still bitter about Ohio State getting blown out. But at least I’m a good sport about it… The fallout from the game is I bet Astro a 12-pack of his choice beer. As it turns [...]
So now that I’ve lost the College Bowl Pool, as well as a bet on Notre Dame that I was suckered into by John (the Irishman), I definitely owe some beer. Fortunately it’s to the the same person: Skaterat. So what to get?.. well, Skate, maybe if you’re [...]
