LONG DELAY

This poor blog has been neglected, but as most of you know, the brewing has not stopped. In 2008 I made a total of 12-14 beers, depending on how you count. The beers in order were:
1. Urban Circulator (Doppelbock)
2. House Pale Ale
3. Old 49er Steam
4. G.G. Josie's Secret Batch (Pre-Prohibition Pilsner)
5. 200 ML (Kölsch Style)
6. WHEAT-EES (Hefeweizen)
7. Wee Heavy #22 (Scotch Ale)
8. AAA (American Amber Ale)
9. OPA (Oktoberfest India Pale Ale)
10. Ghost of Christmas Present English Barleywine
11. Santa's Oatmeal Cookie Stout
12. Griswold's Yule Log Spiced Christmas Ale

The beers not making the list are the Oktoberfest lager, which had some bad yeast and contamination. It was very unfortunate, but luckily I had an IPA ready, as I knew the Oktoberfest was really iffy. The cider made in the fall was also not a success.

The Christmas beers were a success yet again, and everyone loved the gift packs. It was a good way to end the year and start 2009.
