Hey everybody, I haven’t checked in since the Lancaster Cask Challenge.  Needless to say, the championship title resides in Lancaster.   I have to give it to Paul the head brewer in Lancaster though, his Kryptonite was very tasty.  We have already scheduled our re-match which will be held in North Wales, August 6th at 5:00 p.m.  This is my call for all hop lovers, the beers for the cask challenge will be; Somethin Hoppy, a double I.P.A. from North Wales and Coffee Porter from Lancaster.  Let’s all welcome Paul here with a crushing defeat and feel free to verbally abuse him when he loses. 

Congratulations are in order for our recently promoted Head Chef, David Foster.  I shook his hand and immediately sat down with him to work on a beer dinner.  We are thinking late August, with the exact date t.b.d.  As soon as I have a firm date, I will post it on the blog. 

Other than that, I was lucky enough to have Tim and Steph Weber come in and brew Baltic Porter with me.  They are avid homebrewers and hope to open their own brewpub in the near future.  I wanted to give them some love for coming in to help with the brew, even when we had some MAJOR boiler issues.  Check out Steph’s blog for her account of the brew and other reviews that she writes.  That’s all i have for now, feel free to email me with any questions.  check out these mugshots.
