Hey there folks. Been a while.

You go Psychodad! What's your brew?

I've been pre-occupied with Aquaria this year, and my brew buddy has a new baby boy, so we've been on the slow side. We did win our Club's brewer of the year competition, taking firsts over the course of the year with, I think,an American Brown Ale, A coffee imperial stout, and a kick ass Double IPA with 15.8 oz of hops (6 different kinds, from in the mash through dry hoping, in something obscene like 17 separate hopping gifts) in a 5.5 gallon batch. I would have stacked it up against any Double IPA I've ever tasted.

Last couple of beers have been for our annual combined birthday party: An American Pale Ale with Amarillo hops, The Up All Night Extra Stout (Which we've brewer every year since 2000 at least once), The Purple Peril - a blackberry raspberry honey hefeweizen (chicks dig it - another perennial brew since 99 or 2000), and a weird beer. We do one odd one every year. Sometimes it's as ordinary as a Doppelbock - only weird because homebrewed lagers are thin on the ground hereabouts, sometimes it's a lemongrass roggen or a Hot pepper porter. This year we went with a hybrid (and I think may have snuck up on a Porter from the long way around) - It's a Rye IPA crossed with a Belgian Stout, and we used all German hops. Jon Snow's Black Bastard IPA (Named after the Night Commander of the Black Watch, not the former Treasury Secretary).

Sorry to have stayed away so long.
