Hey! How was Amnesia?

I don’t remember.

Anyways, I had some ipa and talked to the great marketing staff from Widmer and felt guilty for being so critical of their spiced ipa.

So what about Amnesia beers?….. meh.

So far the mood seems subdued. Grabbed a cider at Bushwacker and then endured some Red Chair and the enjoyed an Upright Five on the bus to Widmer.

So here I am sitting at a table, Widmer Kellerbeer and Spiced IPA seem to be the most popular choice. I ordered the Chai spiced IPA and, well….

Nothing is better than following the degradation of grammar and civility than a good ol live blog on a beer bus. So, tonight my goal is to see how far I can push myself away from actual human interaction and type away on my phone to document Ezra’s birthday bus ride.

All I really know is we’re headed to Widmer, Alameda, Breakside, Kennedy School and Horse Brass… and I am woefully, WOEFULLY out of drinking shape to handle such a fiasco. So I don’t really have high hopes for my endurance or coherance.

Starting the night with a long commute to Hopworks before picking up the bus at Bushwacker Cidery. Must remember to eat something soonish…

From a release:

Hopworks Urban Brewery is looking for 10 intrepid volunteers to venture into the HUB hop field and help them pick their first estate-grown organic hops. In addition to telling your friends and family that you picked the first hops on the Urban Hacienda, they’ll happily hook you up with pizza and beer for your efforts.

Within 24 hours of harvest, the organic Cascade and Willamette hops will be added to the inaugural beer made on the brewery’s new nano-brew system. The fresh hop ale will debut at the Oct. 19 HUB Mug Club meeting and later be on tap in the brew pub.

The harvest will be Tuesday, Sept. 28 from 4 – 6 p.m. The volunteer crew will be the first 10 responses to email “Hop Harvest” to volunteer@HopworksBeer.com.
