Brew Ha Ha
Friday, no 11:30 class for me, the weekend is finally here! Tim and I have been gearing up all week for Davenport's Annual Brew Ha Ha, an event that boasts an array of domestic and imported brews as well as fantastic cheeses. I couldn't ask for anything more (besides hopefully good weather!)
If you are in the Quad Cities or surrounding areas and would like the chance to sample a lot of great beer, this is definitely an event worth checking out! Of course, even if you're not from the area and don't mind a drive out to Davenport, well more power to you.
Check out the official website www.wqpt.org/brew. Tim and I will be there with beer logs in hand, hope to see you there!

Every Man's Dream
Unknown biology student becomes famous for drinking beer.
In the quad cities.
Until the next paper came out.
Summer is a time for kicking back, enjoying the outdoors, and switching from that scotch/port/sherry beverage to gin and tonics and BEER. And nothing says summer like an outdoor barbeque/beer tasting. If you're a fan of this blog, you might enjoy the linked article from the Quad-City Times featuring this blog's regular author and one of its contributors at one of these great summer events in Rock Island, Illinois.

Conception
Hey Folks,
Recently, (Actually last week) I was house sitting for my sister in Chicago, all the while taking care of her grand piano (You know, walking, feeding, and reading to it). Last Sunday, Jen and I walked around Chicago, and we came upon Rock Bottom Brewery. Fantastic, I found a brewery I had no idea was there (my usual luck). Anyway, I went back Tuesday on my own and met the Brewing assistant, Jim. We talked a little and he gave me a mug club card and paid for my drinks. I was told to come back Thursday from 6-7 for their tapping of their Summer Saison. I did. Bringing along my beer log book, we sat at the bar and immediately ordered a flight and the Saison, (3rd of the week).This is where we met Jim and his wife. He encouraged me to continue with my interest, and perhaps begin a blog to keep a better record of what I'm doing, and perhaps reveal to a greater populace what I'm doing. All in all we spent close to 5 hours talking to them, listening to music and drinking great beer!
Let's start tasting!
This is my introduction to what I hope will encourage others to be more conscious of the beer they buy and open to the variety of beer available to try!
