I’ve decided to rent a car or something and go to Delaware and drink all weekend at the Dogfish Head Brewery. Vacation houses have to be ridiculously cheap this time of year, right?
I still want to go to Austin and Portland, maybe in one trip, I don’t know. I NEED TO MOVE IT MOVE IT.
Just do it all at once. Heck, tour the entire country. It make take a year and far too many hangovers to count, but it’ll be worth it.
Rebecca wants Ithaca Beer and lives in Minnesota. I want New Belgium and live in New York. I think she’s come up with the solution to all our problems.
It’s a one-gallon batch (I’m starting small), so bear with the small numbers. I’ll probably boil on Saturday, so it’ll be ready just in time for the holiday season.

The brewer’s stepson is serving overseas, so proceeds from the beer (a winter ale with rye malt called “Semper Ri”) will fund care packages for his regiment.
Here’s the Endurance Arctica Pale Ale, an extremely pale APA - resembles a golden ale in its pour and mouthfeel. Rich malty nose with a fleeting floral aroma. Mildly hoppy although a bit soapy and watery (soapwater?). A surprisingly bitter finish considering how clean everything else in this beer.
Grade: B-
