I'm not really sure what I'll be saying here, but the current state of affairs at Facebook bothers me. I've never been a huge fan of FB, but we use it for our brewery business. With the recent shut-down of "fact-checking" at FB and the continuing rumors of photo stealing, I hope to eventually do most of my talking over here. I expect I'll keep some of my FB posts for now, but it may end up being a list of what's on tap. I see that some folks are moving to Bluesky, and I have considered that; but that's still up in the air.
We had a great time at Frost Fest over in Fayetteville! The Fossil Cove folks had everything lined out so well, we were on gravel, and the weather held, yay! We got to visit with several of our fellow brewers and patrons, as well as sampling some new-to-us brews. The whole thing was really well done. Thanks to the Fossil Cove folks and their partners for a most excellent festival!
This week, we brewed another 5 bbl batch of Wham Bam with Chuck and Ethan, and plan to can more of it. We'd planned to do this with the last batch, but the transfer fermenter had a issue with the racking arm. So we kegged it for now. Bill, Adrian and Nick have been putting a roof over the walkway to the smoking spot and beer garden, and they got that finished today.
We didn't change our beer line-up this week, nothing has tapped out yet. Sojourner Double Oat Stout is on the last keg, and Mild Thang! may be getting close. We have other brews waiting in the wings, or at least in the walk-in! We seem to be in for some cloudy weather these next few days, so if you're coming out, dress for it!
