2012 ORC Beer

Coorslight is for breakfast...goes best with "POPS" IMO

     Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”  Benjamin Franklin. Or as some wise friend once said so eloquently...."Beer is good."   I've been brewing my own the last few years.  Would love to share some Sitka Spruce Brown Ale at a future outing. 

God is great! Beer is good! And People are crazy!

Well.......  I should get some negative finger pointing from this one.   I am a "clear beer" drinker, WHEN I drink beer instead of a good bourbon.  Premium Bud (not the unleaded stuff) is my cheap draft.  A bottle of Corona is .......  sublime!

I know........ I'm old, and set in my ways.

Does the Corona have to have been stored under fluorescent lighting for a few days first?

With all the awesome breweries OR has, who decided to limit the choices to Ninkasi?  I suspect collusion.

Where the hell have you been hiding?
Glad to see you found your way back, Depoecod.

I believe it might have something to do with Ninkasi's willingness to help sponsor the event.   Then again, we haven't exactly tried asking some place like Upright Brewing for a firkin of their Oyster Stout stuffed with black truffles.

I haven't had a beer in 2 weeks...you guys are killing me

I don't want to spoil the subject line, but..........    Thanks Craig.  It's good to be back.  I have been around, and alive in Depoe Bay.  But, I had to break down and get a part time job.  The pension just doesn't pay all the bills.  Sad, huh?  Don't you all feel poorly for me...... hahahahaha.  Also, I spent the summer fixin up the house after having it re sided.  Got the priming done (by brush and roller) before the rains hit.  Now it's whitewash looking, but sealed at least.  Will get the paint on this spring / summer.

The reason I haven't taken the yak out in a while is, quite honestly, the numerous sightings and partial attacks by great whites in the area.  In a preriod of about 3 months there were 5 sightings / attacks, all within about 50 miles of me.  Scary!  I still have the shark fobia from surfing in my youth in So Cal.  Got chased off the water by a nice big Blue Sark.  I won't be going out by myself.  Tryin to get the wife into the idea of paddling around in the bay with a yak of her own and my radio, while I fish.  We'll see.

But, hey......  As long as I can get a day off from work, I WILL be out there for ORC.  Wouldn't miss that for all the BUD BEER you could offer.   

PS, Demonick, as long as it has been stored COLD, Corona is NOT "skunk beer".

I'm open to all breweries that wish to sponsor us with free beer. 

We amputated a lot of stuff 3 moves (and 3 years) ago.  However, we are reasonably stable now.  So eventually I'll be replacing all the homebrewing equipement I sold.

Not for 2012, but hopefully for 2013 I'll be able to supply 10-15 gallons of homebrew for the ORC.

How long have you been a home brewer?  10-15 gallon output implies a 3-tier system. 

I brewed from 18-30 or so.  I was pretty popular in college.  Probably made close to 400-500 gallons over that span.  Never kegged though.  At one point I had probably 3 plastic buckets and 6 glass carboys.  Plenty to run 2-3 batches at a time.  But now all I have left is the 2 stainless stock pots I boiled it all in.

Cool.  My first batch was 1993.  I was pretty active for over a decade, then nothing for a few years, but kept all my gear.  Then last year started again with a couple of batches.  Let's take it to PM if you're interested.

I had an epiphany while partaking of one of NINKASI's fine seasonal ale's. What we need is our own NWKA -NINKASI Brewing, SLEIGHR-IDE ale
