Austin Homebrew Grand (re)Opening Party
Saturday, March 13th, Austin Homebrew celebrated the grand opening of their new location at 9129 Metric Blvd with beer, music, food and good times.
It was a great party. I'm pretty sure the first hot day this year... and it barely capped over 85. Geeze.
Beer by Uncle Billy's, Real Ale, Live Oak, Independence, (512), NXNW, Lovejoys, Saint Arnold, Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams, and Draught House (although the DH keg fell through at the last minute, it's the thought that counts).
At one point there was a snaffu with the plastic cups running out, but the crowd got wise and went inside to purchase the new AHS laser etched glasses. These things are hot as shit, and you know the wife was pleased as punch when she learned I brought home another pint glass.
Not only was it a great event, there were great people present. The guys from Black Star Co-op were pouring the beer, Jester King were present with an impressive presentation board and brewery information, and it's always a great day when I run into Josh from Hops and Grain.
Also, in the most random of coincidences, I was standing in line when Carl, the Beer My Valentine runner up, walked up and introduced himself and even before I finished shaking his hand Janice, the Beer My Valentine winner, got in line behind me and said hello.
Isn't that crazy?!?!
Moving on.
If you haven't made it out to the new location, you should. It's great. JB explained they moved from the previous 6,000 sqf location on Burnet to the new 18,000 sqf one.
That's something like three times as big.
He explained that part of the move to the new location allows AHS to purchase in larger bulk and trickle down the savings to us homebrewers. Nice.
Also, they have more registers at the counter in the show room!
All in all, it was a lot of fun. The various kegs moved quickly (the Uncle Billy's Wood Eye Rye was gone before I could blink), but there was always something good ready to go.
And true to form, it being a hot day, I decided to start off with the Live Oak Primus, cause that's always a good idea.
Thanks to Andrew Pogue for the photographs and JIB for the fancy video work and Garageband for the rockin' tunes!

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Shelah Davis, Yoga Instructor:
We're making yoga really accessible for a lot of people that normally wouldn't set foot in a yoga studio. We get a lot of people that are brand new to yoga, have never tried it before. A lot of people that get bribed to be here with beer on the agenda.
5. Tilt up of Carlos Vargas, first time yoga participant, stretching
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Carlos Vargas, first time yoga participant ++ANSWERING WHAT WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART++
Probably the dog… with the leg back thing. That was pretty rough.
7. Various of yoga class, people sticking legs in air
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Heather Silva, Yoga Participant ++ANSWERING WHETHER IT WORKED++
Yes, he did a great job.
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Carlos Vargas, first time yoga participant:
I did it because the girlfriend wanted me to come and now, free beer (laughs).

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Heather Silva, yoga participant:
The girls usually love the yoga and the men usually love the craft beer. So this is a way to get both of them together at the same time and to do it as a couple and enjoy it. And the men who don't think they love yoga, may love it in the end.
17. Various of participants drinking beer
18. SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Schnebly, Owner of Miami Brewing Company:
You can see absolutely here the class here is heavily women.
19. Zoom in of woman drinking
20. SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Schnebly, Owner of Miami Brewing Company:

LEADIN:
Yogis across the US are coming out of their stretching positions and hopping onto bar stools.
Yoga classes are taking place in breweries in a perfect yin and yang of detox and re-tox.
STORYLINE:
In Florida, the 'Sunshine State', and elsewhere in the United States, yoga enthusiasts are grabbing their mats and finding nirvana in the most unusual of places - breweries.
Yoga classes are popping up at craft beer breweries across the US.
We're making yoga really accessible for a lot of people who normally wouldn't set foot in a yoga studio, says instructor, Shelah Davis, who teaches a yoga class called Om Brew Yoga at the Miami Brewing Company.
We get a lot of people who are brand new to yoga, have never tried it before. A lot of people get bribed to be here with beer on the agenda.
Carlos Vargas is one of those first timers at a class held in the brew room. He says he found a few things difficult.
Probably the dog…with the leg back thing. That was pretty rough, he says.
I did it because the girlfriend wanted me to come and now, free beer, says Vargas.

Left Hand Brewing Fade to Black Vol. 4 Rock Mountain - The Spit or Swallow Beer Review
Shagdog & Jammer are feeling left handed and grab a Fade to Black Vol. 4 beer to review!
From their website:
Fade to Black.
That time of year when the light fades away. Brewed for the darkness, Fade to Black speaks in volumes. Welcome to Volume 4, the Beer pours pitch black with an off white head. Citrus (bergamot) and roast dominates the nose. Slight sweet malt gets pushed back by initial citrusy hops followed by powerful Italian Amaro, gentian and hop bitterness. Finishing with a pleasant duality of dry roasted malts and hop bitterness.

Greetings from beautiful Colorado!
Living here in our great state requires great balance -- there's just simply too much to do! Soak in over 300 days of sunshine a year. Catch a show at Red Rocks. Climb to the top of 14,255 feet Longs Peak. Catch an Avs or Rockies game. Drop into some fresh powder at A-Basin. Tee up on the first hole at Haystack Mountain. Fly fish the South Platte. With so many choices, how does one manage? We sum it up all in one word: balance.
Too much of any one activity leaves you missing out on another, always wondering if the other was better. A healthy dose of all things in a balanced way keeps your right brain feeling good and the left brain knowing it's all good. We believe the same to be true with craft beer. Everyday we strive for that perfect balance between malt and hops, from our lightest to our darkest—allowing a unique flavor experience in every bottle. From a golden crisp Polestar Pilsner to a roasty, black Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout, our balanced portfolio of handcrafted ales & lagers will keep your mind and your palate in a happy state of equilibrium. Now, we can talk about our beers all day, but we'd rather sit back and drink one with you. Next time you're in town, swing by our Tasting Room for a tour, a few pints, and a great deal of balanced befuddlement about life. See you soon!

We Love Beer
More specifically, we love great craft beer. Just like you do. As we heard at a recent craft beer conference, people are having epiphanies with craft beer every day. We couldn't agree more.
Our story started in December of 1990 with a small homebrewers kit. Dick Doore, the co-founder of Left Hand, received the kit as a Christmas present from his brother. According to Dick, it was all downhill from there. His obsession with homebrewing led him back to Colorado in August of 1993, where he met up with a former college buddy and soon-to-be Left Hand co-founder, Eric Wallace.
It didn't take the two long to start brewing beer. Dick had been homebrewing for years, and Eric had traveled extensively internationally, seeking out great beers wherever and whenever he could. After brewing several batches that impressed their friends and lucky neighbors, they became more confident in their craft. It was only after drinking quite a lot of really good dry stout that Eric had brewed that they had their epiphany: Let's start a brewery.
The name of the company Left Hand, was in honor of Chief Niwot, whose tribe wintered in the local area. (The name Left Hand is derived from the southern Arapahoe word Niwot meaning left hand.)
Over the next several years we started to grow. We added people. We added machinery. We added several styles that are still with us today: Good Juju Ale and Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout. And we had a few styles that we remember fondly: Ambidextrous Ale, Motherlode, Maid Marion and Deep Cover Brown Ale. In 1995, we were able to start putting our logo on bottle caps. But when it came down to shrinking down the original logo to put on a crown, you couldn't read it. We created a small hand to be the logo. It morphed into a sticker, and eventually into the company logo as you see it today.
On the first night of the 2011 Great American Beer Festival, Left Hand changed craft beer history forever with the introduction of Milk Stout Nitro in a bottle. Left Hand is the first American brewery to master the science of bottling a nitrogenated craft beer without a widget. To our fortunate & delight, the beer has met overwhelming excitement and reception. Fans can currently find bottled Milk Stout Nitro in Colorado, Chicago, Austin, Boston, Phoenix, Atlanta, Cleveland, and New York City.
We couldn't have done it without you. Thanks to all the Left Hand fans around the world. We raise a pint to you and your discriminating palate.

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
