I have been all-grain brewing for a little less than 6 years and Darwin, our chocolate lab has been there for every single one.

The last year has been hard on him, the last two months especially so. He was only 8 and a half - we expected to get a couple more years, but we couldn't bear seeing him in pain any more so we had to say good bye today.
If I went outside, he wanted to be outside too. He loved brew day. It meant I was outside for 4+ hours and during the down-time (mash, waiting for the sparge to drain, waiting for the boil) he had my undivided attention. Amazingly, not too many of my beers tasted like slobbery tennis ball.
I'm hoping you can join me in raising a pint in honor of Darwin. Here is our first brewday together.
