    Tonight (Wednesday) is the Sierra Nevada tap takeover at The Pine Box, Hopfest at Brouwer's is Thursday, and the Fresh Hop Throwdown at the Noble Fir is Saturday.

    I'm also attending an Obama fundraiser --- Beers for Barack --- on Friday night that a friend of mine has organized. They have a donated keg of Georgetown Lucille. As an aside, I've agreed to brew some White House Honey Ale as a raffle item.

    I'll need next week to recover then I'm headed to Minneapolis for work Oct. 8 and will be able to hit up Fresh Hop Week at Minneapolis Town Hall.

    I LOVE this time of year. I'm not sure if this is the best time of year or that time of year (Feb/Mar) when Younger, HopSlam, Abrasive, etc. are released.

    A little blue birdy is hinting at Fremont Cowiche Canyon Fresh Hop being available tomorrow at the brewery.

    Doesn't Brouwers have their hoppy beer event soon? I can't remember what it's called.

    I picked up two bottles around 4pm and had a pint of the cask Dark Star with raspberries. Also got a growler fill of The Brother for the weekend.Yum.
