99 bottles of beer...

I brewed nine batches of beer in 2010. That's 45 gallons of beer, or 480 bottles. Damn. Here's the roll call:

West Coast Amber
Nipples of Venus IPA
ESB
Lawnmower Ale
English Pale Ale
West Coast Red Ale
American Hefeweizen
Mild Pale Ale
West Coast Porter

I plan to top that in 2011, and have kicked it off with a West Coast Pale Ale, which is a few weeks away from being ready - it'll be kegged and cold for Super Bowl Sunday. Today I brewed a German Altbier, which I'll bottle and use for a dinner party in February. The question is, what should I do next?

Michelle said...: wait, but not if it involves scraping yeast off your roof...; January 11, 2011 at 8:54 PM
GGB said...: Meesh, you must visit, irregardless of beer type. But the altbier is a copper ale, which is a color pretty close to amber in my book. No roof yeast included.; January 11, 2011 at 9:35 PM
