In other news today, a beer truck in Cleveland lost its load ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search?m=all;o=time;q=quick;s=beer ). Its like Hitchcock’s “The birds,” only with brewed beverages.

Police were requesting a salt truck to melt a sheet of frozen beer. A police dispatcher, speaking to a Plain Dealer reporter, quipped, “Bring the pretzels.”

Now that is funny......

Most out there will never have the luxury of trying my stout.

:-(

I just put up about 34 bottles (15.2 oz Grolsch bottles) from a batch this last weekend.

BUT!!!!!

Or, as a very tanned gal near NYC once told me "Once you had black..."

Murphys makes Guinness taste like boat bilge!!! And mine is even better.
