We get a surprising number of requests for an estimation of the number of calories in our recipes. I say surprising, because the caloric content of my beer has never been of central importance to me. Color, Bitterness, and ABV are all numbers that I tend to focus on, because they speak more to the flavor of beer than a count of calories or carbohydrates. As such, my standard answer to questions like these is often, "if you need to ask, it's probably too many." |

 Get ready, homebrewers -- National Homebrew day is May 7th!
To celebrate, the American Homebrew Association created Big Brew, an annual event that celebrates homebrew in all its glory. Each year, Big Brew is held on the first Saturday in May. What is Big Brew? Basically, brewers get together all over the world with one goal in mind: brew a whole lot of beer. Oh, and there's a communal toast at noon central time, where homebrewers everywhere raise their glasses as one. Sounds good to me. There are official big brew sites registered from here to Timbuktu. Click here to find a site near you, but be sure to raise your glass even if you can't make it to an official gathering. |

I know, I know: it's been a wee bit since I posted a recipe, but I just haven't been that ambitious in the kitchen lately. Sue me, already! To make it up to you, here's a chili recipe that is hands down the best thing that ever came out of a pot.

 J, of the Brookston Beer Bulletin, recently posted this article about how the TTB, Department of Homeland Security, FDA, and IRS teamed up to protect America from bioterrorist attacks at Creekside Brewing. The long and short of things is that the TTB required Creekside Brewing to build a wall around their Fermentation vessels before granting their liscence. Creekside complied, and spent about $15,000 along the way. When pressed about the specific codes that require brewers to protect their equipment from terrorists, the TTB deferred to the Dept. of Homeland Security...who then deffered to the ATF and the FDA... both of whom replied that the agency responsible for regulating Alcohol is the TTB. That's government in action if I've ever seen it. Read the full blog entry here, and it wouldn't hurt to check out the SLO New Times article he referenced. |
