Back in the Saddle...

We took a little time off to go to Cincinnati for the annual Luck of the Irish beer memorabilia show. This year we went for the whole weekend, and B got a few more items for his breweriana collection. While we were there, we also visited a couple of breweries - fancy that - and did another beer cellar tour. This time we went into the Linck Cellars, and our guide was an energetic Australian. Miranda was fun and informative, and the tour involved three adjoining cellars. We'd hoped to go into the Jackson cellars, but, oh well, another trip.

Once we returned home, we got to deal with some of the aftermath of the storms, particularly our home internet; along with a few other things. In order to get back and forth to the brewery, we have to drive through the mess that the tornado left behind in Fifty Six. The last couple of days, highway crews are picking up the limbs, trees, and debris by the road. It makes for a bit of a wait on the highway but they've picked up a lot of the stuff. After seeing it, we're still amazed that no one was hurt. We have a couple of friends right along that stretch, and their buildings took a direct hit. Sheez. Gaping holes in the landscape, big trees gone, houses thrashed or wearing tarps. It's really awful. Folks are trying to get things into shape, working on their buildings and land, but it must be tiring at least.

Today we brewed another 2.5 bbl batch of Brown-Eyed Girl, seeing how it's been in demand. Tomorrow we'll finish the batch. Brent has kegged some of the beers, so we have a few empty fermenters to fill. Hoppy Together IRA is about to tap out, along with the Lemon Ginger Saison. Spring has sprung; our redbuds, dogwoods, and japonica are all doing great. We're expecting another round of wet weather, this weekend, however, so get prepared!
