Citra and Danza are most excellent.

[JohnnyMac]

You I understand, but JMac, do you ever work?
I'm just jealous, I'm stuck at home on the help line today, which means no beer at lunch.

But LD&I (and EZ) will be heading down for some Citra Lovin' tonight around 8:30-ish.

Ha! Sometimes being a consultant has a great degree of flexibility.

Were you working the Home Brewer help line?

Yup.

"Sure, you can double dip your wort stick!"
"No, your fermentation temperature isn't important, just put it in your furnace room"
"Using a Belgian Tripel yeast for your English Mild is a great idea!"

I may have to conjure up some cash and head down to enjoy the last patio day of spring.

Don't you mean the first patio day of spring

Clearly, he meant the ONLY patio day.

Here now, with Nick, gone soon.

Wanna swing by my place on the way and pick me up?

Nash was in the Amherst area today and gifted me with a Messie 2.0 and Commissar Imperial Stout. I'm drinking Messie - I am at a loss for words at how drinkable this monster is!

Even my wife loves it and 60 IBU is high for her.

Yeah I find you don't get good balance until you get up around 500 IBUs or so

Glad you enjoyed Andy!

A few of us will be down there this afternoon. I'll be there closer to 6, but I think others will be there from 5.

For anyone who hasn't yet gotten down for Preacher Man - drop everything you're doing. This is brilliant and going to go fast. I thought Citra Nation was one of the best Nash has done (even if he disagrees), save for maybe the Citra SMaSH from last summer and I went back for seconds on Preacher Man instead of one of each.

Sounds like you're preaching to the converted.

True, but nobody was preaching about it. There's "so good I don't want to tell others about it so I can have more myself", and then there's "so good I have no choice but to tell others because they really need to go to great lengths to try it". This is the latter.

[KMcK]

OK, Bobby. I just hope it lasts until Tuesday.

Geez Bobby, so... did you like it? Thanks, greatly appreciate it as always!

I did mention on the blog that everyone needs to have a little chat with the Preacher Man

[Jimmy]

Anyone know if the Hart & Thistle is open today? I am assuming it is...

[TimG]

Here right now,pretty happening place for sure. Preacher is a great summer IPA. Smells like some recent brewing has been happening, what is next Nash?

[Jimmy]

Made it down earlier as well, it was packed then too!

[NASH]

Here's a surprise for you all....

I brewed an IPA yesterday!!!!

[Jimmy]

Smithers: You haven’t been issued a map yet.
