it sure has been a while since scott, the brewmeister, has whipped up some old-fashioned beer, but the day is here! he has been hankering for a nice dark, rich, full-bodied beer since his days in wisconsin when he could easily get his new glarus brewing company beers at an affordable price. now that the holidays are here and the fridge is still full of that good 'ol sharp cheese.... the need for beer has never been greater. a few weeks ago the anticipation started to build as scott cooked up a stout style beer in the kitchen. even i was excited (the baby hormones had me smelling french fries cooking instead of beer!) after incubating for a few weeks the beer had a chance to develop lots of character thanks to some great yeast action. last night the real fun began when the beer was ready to be bottled. with lots of help, and fun reminiscing about making homebrew....... the kitchen was suddenly filled with all these bottles of beer! the brewmeisters are confident that with a few more weeks the beer will be carbonated and ready to be sampled! what a way to bring in the new year right? this could be a beginning of a holiday tradition. i think i will be sticking to the cookie-eating tradition for a while longer......
do you have a special way to bring in the new year?
