About SD Brewery

  • A place where Stinky Daddy can come and talk about brewing because Stinky Momma and Stinky Baby don't want to hear it anymore. I can't say that I blame them.. Any comments and/or pointers are greatly appreciated and I will always hide your email address.

M.T. Found and Bribed with Homebrew

Fat guyI needed a bike rack for my truck so I decided to stop in an old riding buddy's shop to pick one up. What a mistake (not really)! After listening to him tell a few old stories to the gang in his store, we sat around amazed that no one lost a limb as a result of our exploits. I am still laughing, especially about how Gash Hollow got it's name.... He even called G.B. and they both started giving me crap!

We are going on a ride next week and I am completely prepared to be waxed then totally ridiculed. He was not impressed with my new riding gear and athletic form pictured in this self portrait.

I did run home to grab him a home brew sampler. It had Sean Thornton's Irish Red, Chocolate Rush Stout, Tatum's Tail Pale Ale PM; Addy Cake's Christmas Wheat, and Christmas Ale 2007 in the 6. The brew is really a bribe so he'll take it easy on me for a month or so. I doubt it works ...

Fat Tire, Skinny Tire, and Where's the brewer?

Fat Tire has finally made it to Tennessee. I have been wanting to try this brew for some time. My expectations were high and I was not disappointed. Balanced, smooth, & toasty. The biscuit malt gives it a great finish. Not bitter ... just a great brew. I am glad it is only available in 22oz bottles because 12oz would just not be enough.

I have put in 3 short rides since I picked up my road bike 4 days ago. I am loving it. I need to find a couple longer loops. Right now they are in the 9.5 mile range. That is short distance on a road bike but I am WAY out of shape. That route also has plenty of climbs for this Clydesdale. I still need to find something around 15 miles. 

I've been really busy so, not much brewing lately. I will bottle my grass cutter ale this week. It will have been in the secondary 14 days this Wednesday. Maybe I'll get to something in the "mental brew pot" this week.
