Beer Fest and the beers we'll be pouring

If you are local to the Orlando area, come see us tonight at the Sunshine Challenge Beer Fest.  We'll be pouring from the homebrew booths of Brew Club of Seminole County and Volusia County Homebrewers Guild at the event.

Haven't seen a blog post yet this week?  We've been working on toward Beer Fest.  We have banners, business cards, a dry erase board to help promote the clubs.  We'll have over 12 homebrewed beers between all of us which we will share with attendees.

Beer List (mostly there but incomplete)

• Anal Retentive Dishrag -  English Barleywine
• Galileo's Bane Pumpkin Porter
• XXX Tripel (still rather new but packing lots of promise)
• Steam Monk Belgian Dubbel
• Independence Ale 2013, Mosiac and Centennial hopped American Pale Ale)
• Dim Wit Monkey - the 7+% ABV Belgian Style Witbier from Bionic Brewing
• Rye Pale Ale - from Bionic Brewing
• Blackberry Wheat - from John with Beer Chasers
• Spicy Chocolate Cherry Stout - from John with Beer Chasers
• Belgian Strong Dark - again, courtesy of John with Beer Chasers
• A Saison
• An IPA (or two)
• Homegrown Hops IPA - courtesy of the Sanford Homebrew Shop  (Florida Grown Hops)

Now that is quite a list.  So come on out tonight if you are in the area.  Greet me as Galileo's Bane or Dunerbrew and get a free sticker.  Cheers!

Working and Drinking tonight

Tonight I'll be at the Central Florida Sunshine Challenge Beerfest, "working" as I help pour with the Volusia County Home Brewers Guild (VCHBG).  I'm bringing a few of my beers to share as well.  If you are in the area, check it out.  It probably isn't too late.

I joined the VCHBG group a few months ago, and quickly found that it is nice to be part of a community and not just the lone brewer, brewing on my own little island.  At the same time, the first year of brewing I basically learned on my own (with a lot of help from the local brew shop) and I have found a strong sense of accomplishment in figuring it all out.  Now, I hopefully have something to offer too, as well as continue to learn this fine craft.... and I'll have some fun while at it.

The first person recognize me as Galileo's Bane will win a autographed Apotheosis Porter label. (Wow, am I that good?  No, but what the hell.  Why not!)

Cheers!
