First, thanks to Maggie for noting the importance of this day to U.S. and naval history. For the last couple of weeks I've been tossing around the idea of doing a short series of posts concerning the first 60-or-so days of the war leading up to a battle at sea that would shock the mightiest navy then known to the world. And if I feel ambitious, I may just carry on and post about the rest of the naval engagements as the year carries on. Fun as that sounds, it's not quite as ambitious as what Steeljaw Scribe has planned at his place. Which is why I also volunteered to author a couple of posts for him that he'll also put up on the USNI Blog. He calls it guest blogging I call it trying to run with the big dogs as he's lined up some pretty savvy help. For me that's the greater challenge I look forward to.
Oh...and I'll post about beer, too. Promise. Haven't brewed much, but I've drank plenty of what I have brewed, and even entered the IPA into a contest based upon the recommendation of my cousin's refined nose (and taste) for the drink of the gods. So I suppose I should at least wrap that recipe up.
Your IPA is the bomb, cuz, and I'm not just saying that because we're related. I'm also saying it because I want more access to your beer!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though (er, I WAS being serious) yours is an IPA to be proud of. Professional quality.
I had meant to share it with my mates at work, but the bottle never seems to make it out of the house with its contents un-drunk.
If those judges know anything about beer, they'll sit up and take notice.
