Cool website

I came across a website through an email sent to me called http://www.beermenus.com/chicago. It could be a handy little site. It has multiple features such as beer events, bar listings and beer lists. What seems to make this website a gem though is the function where you can look up a specific brand of beer. From there it will list all the places in Chicago that carry it as well as a google map to their location. Plus the list has the prices at each bar. So you can find that less expensive place that will then allow you to have one more of you favorite brews without breaking your budget.

The results are in on Batch #3

About a week ago I opened my favorite (only because it's my latest) batch of brew. It was a robust porter. The results were good. Very tasty. Multiple tasters agree. I'm trying to convert friends from just drinking their standard mass produced lagers. They even said they liked the taste, which I take as a good sign.

The only problem I seemed to note was with carbonation. It was of course a bottle conditioned beer. The bottles were fine when opened yet I packaged some into gallon jugs. The first beers poured from that were fine but the refills seemed a little low on carbonation. I'll have to investigate why and what could be done about it.

I give myself a B on this beer.
