I know I haven't written much lately, but that's because I decided to take a month off of drinking (I may have gone a little overboard partying for my birthday at the end of March). I decided to post a little somethin' anyway. I wasn't planning on posting about this since it's not really a brewery, but I'm gonna anyway.
A couple of my friends make their own home-brew beer, which so far has been pretty good.
The first beer they made was a European Bock which was really good. When their next batch was ready to be bottled I offered to help (since I helped them drink the last batch). So, I spent an evening washing out beer bottles (many of which I had donated to their cause) and putting caps on 3 cases of beer.
I capped those beers, go me!
And as my friend Tom told me that I would appreciate it more if I helped... I told him that I ALWAYS appreciate beer, but I was pretty proud of myself :)

After 2 weeks of waiting, not so patiently, the beer was ready to drink and it was delicious, tasted a lot like Fat Tire! So, we have this tradition of getting together on Friday nights and drinking the home-brew beer and as of late Scotch (since Tom is on a mission to become a Scotch aficionado).
The official first taste of the beer I helped bottle.
I know, I know, the Scotch is not from Colorado, but not everything I drink can be from Colorado :) This is probably a good part of the reason that I needed a detox month, but it's always fun!
