Izzy's Graduation-Birthday Party

Good Afternoon Ladies & Gentlemen,
 
Friday night, we kegged our Beet Pale Ale… and it had a magnificent dark red-purple color to it… and it actually tastes a lot like beer, but with definite beet flavors… so basically just about the greatest yet non-traditional thing that you can think… here are some gorgeous pictures…
 




 

Saturday morning we did some running around… and then got some twine to set up our hops now that they’re starting to grow at the incredible rates that we expected…
 
Saturday afternoon was Izzy’s graduation/birthday party at her home… and it was pretty amazing! The party had a unicorn & dinosaur theme in honor of my classy lady… and the turnout was great with over two dozen of her closest friends & family coming to share some good times, homebrew, Casper’s hot dogs, and just enjoy each other’s company! Nothing but Love for everybody who made their way out there, including the very special guests from Izzy’s past! Here are some wonderful pictures of the event…

 Our Beet beer has legs...












 Cutest birthday card ever...

I also got her a nice little trophy… see, it has been a huge goal of her life to earn a Golden Bear Trophy with the California State Fair growing up… and she came close a few times with showing her goats… and one day we’ll get it for our homebrew or some other crazy situation… but in the meantime, I wanted her to know that she’s an incredible woman who everybody is so proud of… so I got her this trophy to remind her when I’m not in earshot…
 
Have a great day everybody!!!

Congratulations Izzy!!!

Good Afternoon Ladies & Gentlemen,
 
Jam packed week of fun coming up… starting with Thursday night when I met up with Izzy & her mom. We headed out for a fun evening of Extinction NightLife at the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. I’ve discussed the NightLife series before… but essentially it’s a great 21+ event where you get to see the Academy of Sciences without all the rat bastard kids running around AND enjoy alcoholic beverages (at a nominally escalated fee). An added bonus was that this was Izzy’s mom’s first time to the Academy… and she loved it. Here are pictures!!!
 


















Friday was Izzy’s Graduation Ceremony at the Cow Palace… so her family & I watched her walk the stage like a CHAMP!!! Congratulations to my beautiful ladyfriend!!! I’m so infinitely proud of you!!!
 




Sunday was our San Francisco Homebrewers Guild Annual Picnic in Golden Gate Park… and it was a great event where we shared some of our fantastic homebrew & had a great barbecue. Pictures…
 






Monday, after brunch with Izzy’s family, we had a Memorial Brewday where we made a quick batch of Erdbeer Hefeweizen (it’s Strawberry Wheat Beer)…
 
… and we made a wonderful beet puree for transferring our Beet Pale Ale to secondary…
 









So that’ll do it for a quick catch-up on our week… and hopefully you enjoyed the pictures. If not, then join us next time… we’ll have movie reviews & random stories and pictures as well… have a great day everybody!!!
