Holy frijoles! It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog post. Actually the last one I wrote was me whining about not being able to brew.  I’m not going to put you through that again. Why? You ask. Did you guys actually brew something? You also ask. No we didn’t, but we did meet up with our good friends and homebrewers from StolzeStyle Brewing and fellow craft beer enthusiast Dwayne Muckensturm at a lovely little microbrewery, you may have heard me talk about them before, Recess Brewing.

We had a great time at Recess Brewing,  it was Eric and Jenny’s (StolzeStyle Brewing) first time trying their beer, we met Dwayne for the first time in person, and not just on Twitter, met Dwayne’s friend JT and finally met the other half of Recess Brewing, Kris. It was a whole night of first times! Great beer, great company and great conversations, could it get any better?

It could!

After we closed Recess, Eric and Jenny followed us back to my house to finish the evening sharing our homebrew. They brought six different homebrew selections! While they were all quite tasty, my personal favorites were the Black IPA and the Bourbon Barrel Stout made with cocoa nibs. We presented them with only three different brews, two of which they have already tried. To make up for the lack of variety, we made them sit through every crappy movie we ever made! Evened it right up!

My only regret about the night, was I completely forgot to snap a few pictures to share with you. Shows how out of practice I am on the old blogging machine! Don’t fret. Brian, Seth and I are getting together this Friday night to work on the business plan and some budget stuff and I’ll have my trusty camera at the ready to capture all of the spreadsheet excitement!

Until next time!

A much overdue update

Holy cow it’s been a while since we’ve posted anything on the old blogging machine! Well here I am to fill you in on the going ons of Regular Guy Brewing. We have been so busy brewing eight batches per day, it’s been insane! That’s a lie. We haven’t brewed for a while now. Our last brew session was our Red Rye IPA (just in case you forgot what it looks like)

and while it’s delicious and we love it like crazy, we are definitely chomping at the bit to get another brew session under our belts. We did have the opportunity to brew on Friday, but chose to support Recess Brewing, a local brewery that just opened its doors this past Tuesday. I know right, twist our arms. So we went, had some great beers and met the owner, Matt who is a really cool guy. He even let us into the brewery and didn’t get mad when we drooled all over his equipment. Good dude! We didn’t take many pictures because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Seth did snap a few which I will gladly share with you now!

Oh yes, beer porn! This is Recess Brewing’s Pedagogical Session Porter. You read that right, Session Porter. It’s got all the big bold flavor of a Porter, but you can drink it all day! That’s a win – win defined my friends! Want another picture of this beautiful beer? Ok!

Boom! Would have looked nicer with full glasses, but we had a tough time keeping our glasses full!

This is their 2211 IPA. Beautiful AND delicious, it’s the total package! I love their description of this beer as well.

“Have you ever been punched in the face by a flower? This floral IPA that is made with multiple hop varieties totaling about 2 pounds/barrel and with it comes an aroma that will attack your senses.”

I can now happily say I’ve been punched in the face by a flower and will continue to be punched in the face by a flower for many years to come! One of the best IPAs I’ve ever had.

Of course we have a picture of Brian doing Brian stuff!

Like I said, we didn’t take too many pictures, but I would like to share the other brews we had as well.

Hop Square: Hoppy American Brown –“The very first beer through the equipment. A happy accident that created a hoppier American brown. It has been so well received, we’re working to duplicate it to offer it alongside Four Square.”
This beer was very interesting. A different take on the traditional Brown Ale. Delicious to say the least!

Traitor: Extra Special Bitter –
“Like a famous traitor of the American Revolutionary War, this beer will deceive you. This ESB is hopped so it smells like an American Ale, but at first drink it reveals its true colors as an English Ale.”
Truly deceiving and truly amazing! You definitely can’t judge the book by its cover on this one!

Here’s Brian, Matt and Seth in the Brewery, it was a great way to end an awesome night! Thank you Matt for the wonderful hospitality, see you again soon!
