Yum. This is probably the best Gruit I've ever had. Had a glass pre release today at the brewery.

I've got a new load ready to ship. As a veteran beer trader, is it OK to ship this time of year? Will tthe bottles freeze and burst? A friend of mine buys a lot of wine that ships and tells me that once it gets really cold, he doesn't order anymore for that reason.

BTW.....stay calm at 10 am, this in only a test!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will run state-wide tests in Alaska on Wednesday of the country's Emergency Alert System, which uses television and radio to inform the public in the event of a national emergency.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said in a statement that the tests, which have been planned since September, would be conducted at 10 a.m. (2 p.m. EST/1900 GMT).

I'm always ready. Fire away and I will reload and return. Same shipping method. I have some great stuff in the cellar just waiting to head south...east. If it's delivered when I'm gone it won't sit out long enough to hurt it.

The test went well from what I could tell.

Nice....all grain? I love to brew but I rarely have the time to anymore. Post some photos of it in a glass after it's ready if you don't mind.

We really need to find a way to get together for a tasting sometime.

Every try Blue Moon? It's on my list to do.

**Guiness** · 01-15-2010, 07:29 AM

The beer I brew has quickly become my favorite beer for the most part. I'm not so foolish as to think I brew better than the micros and crafts, but I can tailor my brew to my tastes.

I've got a few on the go right now. One is Young's Double Chocolate Stout inspired - I poured a can of cocoa right into the batch! The other is an Sierra Nevada inspired American Pale Ale. A fortune in hops into that one!

Anyone who hasn't tried it should. To start, you don't have to go all grain, or even partial to get something very good. Some of the kits being produced these days are quite good just as they are. Lots of resources on the net about it.

I thought we covered that one a few pages back, but yep, Blue Moon's are great...usually served with an orange slice at the bar. Snake's not keen on the fruity drinks, but that is a good chill beer with a nice aroma/taste. If you know some lady friends that aren't into beers, try recommending/buy them one at the bar. They'll enjoy it. Guys do too.

Chimay got brought up, but I don't remember Blue Moon.

I'm not a 'lime in the beer' fan to make something palatable, a la Corona, but Blue Moon is different - the lime adds something to it, not just makes it drinkable!

Local micro/craft just put out a couple of specials - one the call 'Texas Tea' which a dark beer that has honey in it - very nice, and 'Big Dog Porter' which is a London Porter mixed with wine that I really enjoyed.

Looks like a good one...Oskar Blues does too. I look forward to it.....I need some new beer for the ice house. I need to check out the better beer stores around here to see if I can get some of this stuff....Deschutes too.

A beer to celebrate a dog sled race? Is that a big event up there?

Fur Rendezvous was first and foremost a time when the trappers/traders came together to sell pelts and trade for other goods (booze, nookie) and gamble away their hard earned money. The mushing started as a way for the trappers and such to show off their dog teams and gamble and has evolved over the years into the World sprint dog championships.

Lots of other things going on.
