Chris Isn’t Here Is Almost Here

Most of you know that I was out of the country for 10 days.  Well this beer is what happened while I was gone…  On the night I won the trip to Belgium, Chris and Ruby (our assistant brewers) were there, along with half of the Barley Legal homebrew club.  So shortly after  my name was announced a [...]

Firkin March Madness!

Back to London, the other bookend

We spent the last night of our trip in London before flying out of Heathrow Sunday morning.  London was a great way to ease both into and out of Europe.  After a day in France, it was nice to be somewhere where we could talk to people without feeling  like the uni-ligual Americans that we are.

Paris in a Day

We went back and forth quite a bit over whether it was worth it to take a train to Paris for just one night.  Not only would it be expensive but it could also be frusterating.  Friends of ours had described Paris as “overwhelming” and told us that there was way too much to do [...]

Love craft beer? Call your representative!

I’m taking a minute off of sharing my trip with you to ask you to make New Jersey a better place to drink craft beer and exercise your rights as an American all at the same time!  Ever noticed how the craft beer culture is just a little bit stonger across the Deleware? There are [...]
