Thanks to a buddy, I was able to order some of my favorite beer today.  There is a site online based out of Chicago called Sam’s Wine and Spirits where you can order Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout.  Again I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the big brown truck.

i haven’t posted anything here in a few weeks, i have been busy with a cournicopia of activities but none of them has seemed worthy enough for posting.  I did brew a rather large stout yesterday as a first step of a two part brewing.  I plan on brewing the “even bigger” stout next weekend so sometime around the new year i ought to be innundated with big bodied stouts (there are worse problems i know).  Yesterday’s is bubbling away in its carbouy and it smells (and looks) quite tasty.  I have decided to name this one “Emancipation Stout” – now i just need to come up with a similarly themed name for the bigger one…

i love this commercial
