I made another 10 gallons of beer this afternoon. Above, I am setup to start fermenting a nice European Pilsner. I have made this one many times. It’s called Telepathy (that’s a blog post for another time). It is my sister’s favorite beer, and she doesn’t drink beer. I hear that a lot when people first have the opportunity to try my beer. I get the usual: “I’m not really a beer drinker, so I’ll pass, thanks.” But, if I can talk them into trying one glass of a handcrafted beer, they are always surprised by how much they enjoy it/Bent, Bent’s Beer Garden. More here.
Question: First, puts your hands together for Bent’s new blog. Then, for those of you who have had the pleasure of drinking his brew, feel free to praise it in the comments section.

I would love to try a Bent Beer. Bent, during the summer, my wife and family and I always hike to our swimming spot on Tubbs Hill. We always stop and say hello to Stickman before we head out. If I told you the week before we did, would I be able to sample a pint?
Bent on March 23 at 4:48 p.m.
Absolutely, Toad. Just name the day and time, and i’ll try to be there. But you may not have to wait that long, as there may be opportunities befoe this summer.

“European Pilsner”?
NOW you’re talking!
Nectar!

It would be nice to have Toad come by for a brew before the family goes hiking, though he may send them on their way and pick him up on their way back. Bent’s brew is something to savor, as I do everytime he comes.Toad, we will make a date for you to come by, I’m sure Bent will have the goods and want to share with someone like you. I would.
Stickman on March 23 at 9:26 p.m.
I love the blog and the brew.
