barfdiggs recipe in latest Beer advocate magazine

Which issue is that?

 

Thanks a ton for shout out! BM me if you want and I'll send you a bottle or two when I brew the next batch. Cheers!

 

What's the recipe?

So interested! Kudos Barf-

 

Imperial Milk Stout w/ Chai Spices and Vanilla Beans. Will BM you recipe if desired.

 

Ill take a look at that, BM please!!

 

Sounds exciting, but not on the radar for my schedule. If you end up typing it up for somebody else copy it over to my BM, otherwise we'll just leave it at virtual high five.

 

Congrats Barfdiggs! How does one go about getting published in BA?

 

Never mind the recipe, who's that cover model?

 

Have the guy who writes the homebrew column judge your beer in a competition, but of course.

 

Sounds like a pretty good gig you guys have going for you over there.

 

Cool beans. Congrats.

 

Nice job hoss.

 

Ok, I'll set the record straight on how this happened before folks spin up too many conspiracy theories.

I've written the BA BYOB column since Issue #1 and have always had great fun with presenting the column in a sort of "Life of an Kooky Homebrewer" and that includes my experiences doing the things I do.

When I judged this year's Doug King Memorial, I judged Ward's stout, completely blind. It made it through the whole competition with me thinking "Hey, this was a really nice beer... I think I'll contact the brewer and ask if they wouldn't mind me presenting it". After the BoS, I discovered it was Ward, who then reminded me he was on BA, yada, yada, yada, etc, etc.

So there weren't no purposeful hunting of column out of that one, just a chance to present to y'all a great beer that happily happens to be from one of our own. (Seriously, the recipe is awesome. Make it, taste it, enjoy it and thank barfdiggs for it!)

If you want to be featured in the column, contact me via BM with an offer sheet and I'll consider it. (For the humor impaired, no, go away, I'll gladly accept inspirations or topics for a column, but there is no payola for it)
