just had one of my rye pale ales, didn't turn out too badly. I won't be able to brew for a living, but at least it will keep me busy. Has anyone here tried growing hops and had any success?

I've got a flat roofed house, so up the side and over the top is what i'm planning, also a semi-dead tree on the cooler side of the yard to try one (branches at about 10 and 15 feet). I just love the smell.

Keep us posted on the progress. Maybe I'll check with my local beer shop about growing hops in MN.

If you get a chance Rich, head out to Brau Brothers Brewery in Lucan, MN. They have a 2 acre hop farm. Just call them before you go because in the next month or so they are moving to Marshall, MN (although I doubt the hop field is moving).

That's about a three hour drive for me. At some point I'll make the drive.
Paul commented on KajII's photo: I have to agree for the most part, however, there have been instances where there's been more than one and you get to a good looking one, the top comes off and it refuses to go down like you want it to, making a mess on my shirt.

Get your mind out of the gutter, I'm talking about spilling my beer when I'm drunk.
PaulWhat a wonderful Christmas in London, these and 32 others. Also got to bring thirteen back. That doesn't include pub drinking which included a dozen more. However, drinking in the UK isn't cheap.

PaulI went to a beer tasting in Bloomington, IN this week. Was told to try the Blue Moon caramel-apple offering. Well, it had about as much body as Casper the friendly ghost. If you like caramel/apple flavored water, its great

Maybe they could remove the alcohol and sell it as flavored water.

PaulBack from 'sconsin this evening, got to visit six new (to me) brewpubs/micros and one regional brewery. Many beers were consumed, many joined me for the trip home. Leaving for Florida in two days, I'm sure that it won't be as productive.
PaulNothing that I couldn't live without, but several good ones, a couple of places that I'd never go back to and one that might tip the scales in favor of a retirement city.

The Minhaus Brewery (old Huber brewing) in Monroe has a very nice museum, Stone Cellar (old Adlerbrau) was very good, Randy's Fun Hunter BP - not so much. Silver Creek Brewing in Cedarburg is now winning the retirement war.
PaulTwo weeks of heck, the next few days in 'sconsin (beer, cheese, brats and packers) then the next week in p'cola, fla for sun, fish and beer. its a miserable life, but someone's got to do it.

Jason, we might swing through atlanta on the 9th if you're up for it.
PaulJason, just wanted to give you a run for your money on glassware. But I believe that I've had a year or two or three head start. There are boxes on the floor with glasses in them. and one more pic in the album that didn't show here.

How do you know which beer to drink out of it if there's no Logo???? most of the pounders were from the brewpubs themselves, the goblets and such, not so much.

Logos (to me) get in the way of looking at the beer.

As for me I use glassware, yes to see the beer (Ok looks good, done) but more importantly to drink it and enhance flavor. Logo's just look better on a glass (to me). Just sayin...

Paraphrasing Grace Slick: I say, you oughta drink what you will, and pour it down your throat any way that you can!
PaulFour days of Winter remaining, just got done mowing the yard and closing up the woodpile. The first round of daffodils are dieing, the turkeys are in full strut and the squirrels are getting squirrelly. Time to have a beer.

This group is designed to share notes about beer, as well as tasting notes and suggestions and get to know beer lovers from all over the globe. Here's the idea: We have themed tasting. In advance, if possible, we will pick a Style of Beer we're going to taste, then we trade tasting notes. The tasting period will be over two weeks so we get an outpouring of related tasting notes, which will spur deep discussions.... Check the Discussion area for what the tasting will be.
