The job sounds interesting but how are you liking your new home? Anything to brag about there?
Well, right now we're living in a hotel, as we're waiting to close on the home we're buying. So I can't brag about that (although the house we're buying is pretty cool). But I can brag about Milwaukee in general - it's an awesome city! Especially in the summer! There's so much to do, so much delicious food, and lots and lots of good beer. Breweries on every corner, kind of like Starbucks in Seattle.

Welcome back, and congrats on the new job! While the Light American style is much maligned and admittedly not my own preference, I couldn't have more admiration for the brewers' ability to keep such consistency despite so many variables from place to place and year to year, besides the need for perfection in the brewing process since any flaw would show in the product. That engineering and process management must be a fun challenge.

We have no choice but to take you back. All of the women have basically left us, I think JoeChiante scared them off. We haven't seen Brewbirds in a very long time either. It is with great pain that we do take you back, now that you work for a company that manufactures horse urine, er, I mean weak beer... :o Actually, Blue Moon isn't bad, and Molson has some ok brews.

So, yes, you can come back. :welcome:
Very Funny. And by the way, welcome back, Evily. Actually, I finally called on the Brewbirds and talked to Michelle. They're still alive and kicking, in spite of some trials and tribulations. They moved again, I think to Fayetteville, NC. She said to say hello and they miss us all. Hell, I miss us, too. Just been backed up by life, nothing horrible. Hopefully both me and them will be hanging out more before too long.

Great to have you back and congrats on the new job.
Sounds like an interesting gig,
As long as you continue to brew yourself you will be forgiven for dealing with the dark side. :)

Believe it or not, they use completely different wort streams and completely different processes! (And believe it or not, I can easily taste the difference between them!)
First - welcome back! Congrats on the move and new job. You'll get no grief from me re: The Dark Side ... anyone who can make a living from beer gets a thumbs-up from me.
Regarding the above post, the part in bold begs the question: which do you prefer?? :whistle:

Well, I never thought I'd say this, but I actually prefer Coors Light to Miller Lite, because I think it has more flavor (more banana and fruit esters, due to the difference in brewing process). However, with that said, I still prefer Miller Lite after a long race because it is so mild and easy to drink. :)

So. Short answer... It just depends! :cool:

Hey Evily! I forgive your transgression. At least it is still beer, and not easy beer to make. And that big time engineering that goes into making it happen has to be fun.

Go win the employee home brew comp, and maybe one of the higher ups will try it and like it and they will get your beer turned into the next big thing from one of their macro micro type places that they have a controlling interest in. That would be sweet :)

Thanks, mashani! Great to see you again! :) I would love to have one of my homebrews make it to the bigtime. There is actually an experimental brewing department and that's basically what they do all day. We get to sample their test beers too, which is fun. Some of them are really good. Some of them are really bad. That's all part of the process, though. :cool:
