I had a lot of pictures to go with this post, so I figured I'd just link them in rather than kill your connection. You're welcome.
Blog posts may be rarer these days, but it only means we’re busier. We’ve gotten a new fermenter in* and beer is very literally flying out the door. Our little brewery is getting constant upgrades and patches just to keep up with the demand. It’s a lot of work, sweat (especially in Virginia heat,) and sometimes tears and a bit of blood…but don’t worry. No bodily fluids ever touch the beer, but more importantly, it means we’re on the right track.
In what I like to call Very Cool News, a young man and Virginia native named Brian Hampton stopped by. He’s talented writer, and with a lot of hard work, perseverance, and a bit of luck –something we know a thing or two about- he’s getting a movie made out of his already acclaimed New York play, “Checking In”. (You can find the website for him and his work here, and even request a copy of the script if you’re so inclined.) The best part of all…beer is a big part of the story, and Brian drove all the way down here so he could specifically pick up some AleWerks to use in the film. So everyone: keep your eyes peeled for a case of Chesapeake Pale Ale in this upcoming movie. We know we’re excited.
And lastly: Someone decided to stick their gum under MY counter while we gave them a tasting. I have already sent out my army of Zombie Squirrels to find you. You are a guest in our house: act appropriately. I wouldn't spit all over your place. So I’m sending out my Balrog as soon as the Zombie Squirrels report back, and whoever did this shall not know peace for a thousand generations. I will curse your taste buds so that everything tastes like pork. Including beer. And no one wants Pork Ale, okay?
Don’t mess with my store.
And Lastly: Countdown To Bourbon Barrel Porter = Really, really soon. Seriously.
