First State Brewers Blog

What night does it start? Friday or Saturday at sundown? And do you have to get all the beer out of the house? That would suck.

OK, St. Patrick’s day is over, but here is more holiday fun in questionable taste. Staccato, near my condo, serves a drink called an “Irish Car Bomb.” You fill a pint glass halfway with Guiness and add Bailey’s and Irish Whiskey, mixed just right. I asked a co-worker, whose last name is McKenna, if it makes you throw up. His answer was “the first one doesn’t.” He refers to it as a “public transportation drink.” You can’t drive home after drinking it. Fortunately I can crawl home from Staccato. There is a band playing there Friday night called “Potato Famine.”As I stated in the last post, I gave up drinking for Lent, so that eliminates more liquid holiday fun. Come Holy Saturday at noon I’ll be at Kramer’s counting down the seconds.

I realize I have been living in a cave the last four years…

Hey, everyone, there is a thing on bloggers on Nightline right now. One of them is in Falls Church. Woo Hoo!

I was surfing E-bay this evening, looking for a new flute, when I came across two featured items — beer coolers and kegerators. Just so you know (You’ve probably seen them, anyway).

My new Herbal Tarot Deck arrived from Amazon.com today (it only took about six weeks ). Among the herbs it mentions are hops, juniper and marijuana. You can really mess up your mind and body if you don’t know what you’re doing with some of that stuff.

Today marks the beginning of the Chinese Year of the Rooster. My best friend’s wife, who is Chinese, says if you eat noodles for New Year it brings riches. Also, drink a Tsingtao with it.

I saw this story on Newschannel 8 last night. Someone once said “WAVY” were terrible call letters for a TV station.

Hi, Scott, et al. Tried to post a response but stupid Blogger wouldn’t let me. The answer is yeah, I still have my brewing equipment, but haven’t brewed in a long time. Then again, I haven’t microwaved a TV dinner or warmed up a piece of pizza in my kitchen in a long time, either.

Hey, guys, I put the FSB link into my blog, right above the Paris Hilton item. Now the three people in the world who read my blog may or may not come to this site.

Congratulations Scott et and al and thanks for linking to my blog. I did have a cool link, but lost it, will post it when I find it.
