Inauguration Beer

admin — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:07:38 +0000

My American ale is finally done and happens to taste excellent. Not only am I glad it’s ready, I’m slightly amazed by what day it finished on. Because of that, I will call it my special inauguration beer. BEER mom and I had tickets for today’s events, but ended up staying home since airfare is expensive.

In about a week I am going to brew an amber wheat beer for BEER dad brew #11.

For those of you wondering about Kaden, he’s fine. He has 4 teeth now, is crawling everywhere and will be 10 months old on Saturday.

BEER dad Chili

While my third batch of coffee beer has been ready for most of the month, I decided that rather than bragging about it on here I would instead make my way around town and pass out samples.

24 bottles have been given away so far and the response is pretty much the same as all the other times… it’s amazing.

This weekend BEER mom and I brewed up another one of our award winning concoctions – chili. The exact recipe we use is top secret, mainly because it wins at chili cook-offs, but here is a list of ingredients it includes:

Black Beans
Kidney Beans
Diced Tomatoes
Stewed Tomatoes
Tomato Paste
Chili Seasoning
Ground Beef
Corned Beef
Yellow Onions
Green Peppers
Red Peppers
Fresh Garlic
Fresh Cilantro
Mushrooms
Jack Daniels
Jalapeños
Celery

The end result looks something like this:

Next month BEER mom and I are going to brew our own style of American Ale.

Porter is done.

Let me know when you’re ready for a tasting.

Amber Bitter

My bitter beer is done and is amazing. I have already tried several bottles and rank it right next to the coffee beer, if not better. The beer did end up a dark amber rather than pale, which is what I was shooting for, and has a strong (but not so much bitter) flavor.

Come try them if you dare, but I have to warn you at the rate I’m drinking them they won’t last long. I am making amber bock next, which I will probably start in about 2 – 3 weeks.

As for the other main subject of the site, Kaden has been doing alright and has a few new pictures and videos on his site thanks to BEER mommy. I have been busy with work all week, but you can count on us playing tomorrow and more funny pictures of him tomorrow night. I will finally be posting on that smith again tomorrow as well.

Beer Tasting

At the rate I am currently drinking the coffee beer (which is no more than one a night if even that) it should last me until the end of July. It’s very good now that it’s been sitting longer, but it’s hard to drink because the caffeine is strong enough to keep me up at night.

If anyone would like to sample some let me know. I have just over 50 bottles left and only found three other people to try any so far. Not many of our friends enjoy good beer or fresh coffee as much as I do, so I’m not going to give it away to just anyone.

Hit me up on twitter or by other means if you want any. Once I get down to around 20 I am going to start planning my next brew.
