CBS First Thursday Update

For all beer-lovers and home brewers heading to Chicago Beer Society’s First Thursday this week, be prepared for some bad beer.

This month, CBS is testing “off-flavor” (aka, crappy) beers. Seems strange, but trying something not-quite-award-winning might just help your palate and improve your judgment.

So go and enjoy some off-flavor, followed by an on flavor like the Bourbon County Stout or 312.

The group’s getting together at 8pm Thursday at the Clyborn Goose Island.

Finally, I can start making delicious beer

So it begins. Thanks to the crew at Brew & Grow for helping me find the equipment. I should be pumping out Weizenbier (as the label calls it) sometime this week.
