My Cascade have went over the top of the 12' trellis and are heading back down to the ground. The Mt. Hood arent' far behind.

I pass through the land of Solonoids every day driving to and from work. If it would be possible for me to stop by or meet you somewhere send me a PM. Thanks!

If you have any of those left I wouldn't mind snagging one. I can think of a few beers I wouldn't mind having available in half barrel increments.

I doubt that the temps will stay at or below freezing long enough to hurt hops. At least that has been my experience in past years.

My Cascade are approximately 6 feet right now and Mt. Hood around 5'.

Entries delivered. El Bait Shop has a nice line of Founders on tap now. I sat right in front of them, should have taken a picture! Guys, I was enjoying our brief beer talk and didn't remember to ask you Tim, if you had Matt's entries included with yours? I didn't open the bag that the bottles were i...

Tony has recommended the parking lot by the tennis courts at Kennedy High School as he and Tim are near there. That would be preferable to me rather than making three stops in CR. Is that close to you, Matt? I will plan on being there around 8AM or shortly after.

I had to work tonite so I couldn't stop at Red's, but I did have a Boulevard Single Wide IPA and a Goose Island IPA after work at the newly re-opened Whitey's on Hwy 30 in Lisbon. Das Goose continues to be one of my favorite IPA's with it's persistent off-white head that stands half an inch from sta...

I have Briess 2 row if that would suffice. When were you planning on brewing, Martin? My schedule is a little hectic this week. But I will be driving through CR Saturday AM to pick up some entries for the IBU Open. Drop me a pm.

Thanks for the heads up, kj. I stopped by on my way home from work. The Hop Slam was/is delicious, but, it needs more hops . . . the Rogue I2PA has a different hop schedule than it use to but is still a great beer. Unfortunately, I could only have those two as I was on two wheels. And you need to ke...

Drop me a pm next wed or thurs and we can arrange the pick up. Coming from Lisbon I can swing through cr on my way to dsm Saturday AM. I will likely want to get to beer crazy around 10 or 11AM so I can then be at el bait shop for lunch. Oh yes, there will be beer!

Very cool! I will pick it up this weekend.

I had a voice mail message last night from Hy Vee saying something to the effect of " . . . your bottles are here ready for you . . . " ???

I will be taking beer over on the 24th if there are any stragglers.

From their website: Complex flavored Biscuit-style malt. With its characteristic and bold sourdough flavor, it will contribute an exciting layer of flavor to Nut Brown Ales, Porters and other dark beer styles. I have never gotten "sourdough" from it used in brown ales or porter. My thinkin...
