Beer & Brewing Presents

[RickBeer]

Too bad some motley looking guy is wearing your new shirt in the pic...

You saw the picture at the post office too Rick. I hope they catch that guy soon.

I ran Google's image finder against the pic and it came back with three possibilities:

1) A pic of the guy in the BEFORE picture from a razor ad. "This is a guy before he shaved with our razor."

2) A pic out of a medical journal, showing what happens to people's necks when they don't shower often enough, they get that creeping crud on them, looks like a beard to people that need glasses.

3) A picture from a "How To Use Your Cellphone" tutorial, where their budget was tight so they hired a homeless person, gave him a cellphone, and told him to make pretend he was having a conversation.

4) It could also be a pic from the "My Beard Is Weak" members website.

I'm pretty sure it's #2, but it might be #4.

My wife got me two bombers, ones I've never seen before, and my parents got me a gift certificate to the LHBS, hope they are open tomorrow... Two kegs about to kick.
Friend gave me customized labels and caps.... he was more excieted than I was... I loved them, but he's been waiting on these for almost a month now. Gotta love your friends....

Gift certificate for Midwest Supplies. Strongly considering the purchase of the Blichmann beer gun, or maybe a 10-gal mash tun cooler. Or, maybe something else. It will most likely take me forever to decide, I'm sure.

Ok, how about now. Strange, saved in my pictures it's upright and looking at the post on this computer it's upright. Looked at the Ipad and it's upside down, go figure.

Here is the Brewbirds' X-mas score.

Phil, you hit pay dirt and I think RB is totally jealous.

Blackduck puts together some great looking duds as well but should have sent it to someone else since we all know Inkleg is adverse to being clothed (though it was nice of him to to put it on long enough for a pic).

Looking forward to all the posts about everyone's brewday with the new gear down the road.

Also have to add that I hope all of our family managed to escape the power outages from ice storms I've been reading about and thinking about the pour folks who's plans got messed up by the nasty weather.

MrBeer capper, gross of caps, 24pk of glass bottles, and bag of carb drobs.

Family left some nice beer related presents for me under our Christmas tree. 2.5 gal SS keg system, including a 5lb CO2 tank, regulator, beer & gas line assemblies. Various beer glasses, with accompanying beers. Just left a party where we just about finished all my homebrews. Cheers!

"Brew Like a Monk" and "Farmhouse Ales" - yes I actually never have read or owned those books before believe it or not. I learned all my Belgian and French brewing stuff from FrancoBelgian friends (one of which I referred to as "the insane Belgian brewer" on the old forum).

What I've learned from these books so far is that I already know how to brew like a monk and make good farmhouse ales. Which is pretty sweet, just to get some nice validation.

I also got a bottle of Castelain Blonde Bier de Garde, which I'm sipping on while reading.

Great gifts guys!
Love the hand made beer carrier, duff.

Didn't score any equipment but the wife and children did bless me with some great beer!
The wife got me a four pack of Boulevard Smokestack series with a free glass, a Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout and
Oatmeal Stout. The kids got me a four pack of Dog Fish Head 90 min IPA!
Oh, a friend of mine also got me two Miami Dolphin pint glasses!
These are items I don't usually buy for myself so I am enjoying them very much!

Obviously I need to drop way louder hints.
