okay, so i was emailing nodamnsense this morning about how i couldn’t wait to get settled in our new home, because then we can start homebrewing again (it’s kind of hard to move a bunch of 5-gallon carboys of liquid without aerating it.) okay, in addition to tons of resources for brewing supplies, and fresh fruit and ciders that you can brew with, the city also has a very active homebrewer’s association. and, of course, a major consideration in choosing our new home was the fact that there are good trout streams all over the place. fly-fishing and brewing… that covers 2 of my 4 major avocations. it’s like moving to disneyland!
#3, bluegrass and other traditional music… oh. my. god. in addition to a bluegrass festival within two hours EVERY FREAKIN WEEKEND all summer long… and in addition to the occasional bluegrass concert on the rooftop terrace of positiverolemodel’s place of work at lunchtime… there are at least 11 jam sessions every month.
now, here’s the punchline… one of the weekly jam sessions is at the local microbrewery. okay, this isn’t disneyland. this is heaven! i can only wonder if i got hit by a bus or went down in a shootout with the federales.
anyway… look out, iowa, here comes the burninator!
