Last Sunday we brewed a beer. We went with a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone recipe from the Clone Beers book. We haven’t actually brewed anything in about a year, and we we’ve used this recipe before, so went with something relatively simple and familiar to ease ourselves back into it. We used our homegrown…
As I mentioned I entered a beer photo contest in November. I submitted some photos in 2013 and didn’t win so I wasn’t expecting to this time either. I shouldn’t have underestimated the cuteness of my kid: Olivia and her Arrogant Bastard onesie helped me win the prestigious A Good Beer Blog Baby and Beer…
We had our own version of Sierra Nevada’s Stout Stew last night. First we changed up the beer used by switching from Sierra Nevada’s flagship stout to 2014 Narwhal Imperial Stout. We also used venison instead of beef and left out the mushrooms. This made for a hearty stew that more than matched the rich…

Tomorrow, November 6th 2014, is International Stout Day. While you are enjoying a delicious stout tomorrow be sure to send a beer selfie to instagram.com/beerselfie.

It’s been a couple months since I sent a bunch of submissions to Sierra Nevada‘s latest Beer Camp contest. I’m going to go ahead and assume that I didn’t win. Oh well, maybe next time. Since Sierra Nevada isn’t going to use all the brilliant beer suggestions everyone sent in I’ll share them here. First…
In addition to Grubulub’s social media invasion I created a second Instagram account: @beerselfie. It is dedicated to reposts of other people’s photos of themselves with craft beer. It’s had quite a response! Currently it has 682 followers and 272 posts.
We’ve been on Twitter for a while, but we recently added Facebook and Instagram. We’ve been posting all sorts of nonsense to Twitter, but Facebook will be mostly links to blog posts, and Instagram will mostly be photos of beer and homebrewing. So get over there and Like us.
