Unless someone wants to tell me why it's dumb, I'm naming my Citra(hop)/Rye(grain) IPA "Stifle Tower IPA"

So shall it be written, so shall it be done!

Oh yeah, and when I enter it in this year's Beehive Brew Off I'm going to list, as my co-brewer, Rudy Gobert. I figure that's okay.

On tap I currently have a batch of UGLI Baby (Imperial IPA), clocking in at 9%abv and boasting more than a pound of hops, Amarillo being the featured variety.

Duder, do you ever ship your libations? I would love to purchase a couple of bottles of this stuff.

I did recently and it was a disappointing experience for me and the recipient. Not sure what went wrong but the bottles were completely flat upon arrival. Of course, flat beer doesn't taste right but I would expect most people haven't tasted the same beer completely flat and carbed, so I think the assumption was that the beer wasn't very good, carbed or not. Not to mention that if the seal wasn't good then oxygen most likely got in and that is a real flavor killer as well.

I've changed up my bottling procedure but I really don't bottle very much at all. Looking ahead a little I'm going to have way more beer than I have room to store in kegs so I'm going to need to bottle a lot of it.

As far as purchasing, I wouldn't sell my beer. People talk about buying it on occasion and I know they're trying to be polite instead of just asking for a freebie, but making 10 gallons at a time, as much as that sounds like it is, it absolutely isn't worth it to me to sell. Letting people try it is one thing, selling it means that there's some expectation of quality that I don't want to be responsible for. And I'm not saying this is the case, but I think most people would guess that it would be worth it to me to sell beer at less than what an average craft beer costs, and that's just not the case. So it just isn't worth going down that road at all, besides the fact that it isn't legal to sell homebrew.
 
So my Beehive Brew Off lineup is pretty much set.

Pistol Porter (English Porter)
4.7%abv
I've got this one on tap and I have no idea how it will do or how competitive the new category it is in (Brown British Beer) will be, but I'm proud of this one and think it matches the style guidelines extremely well. Excited to see how it goes.

Third Cousin (Scottish Export Ale)
5.4%abv
Turned out a little darker than I wanted but still within the style guidelines. I haven't started drinking this one yet but have tasted a sample. I'm not over the moon, but I feel good about this one. Scottish ale is a distinctly malty beer with very little bitterness, only enough to balance out the sweetness, and very little to no hop aroma or flavor. I think I hit those points well and I don't taste anything concerning so I'll be interested to see how it does.

YES (Strong Bitter)
6.3%abv(est)
Still fermenting. No reason to worry so far. Brewday went well and wort samples were good.
(Gold medal winner English Pale Ale 2012 & 2013)

Worker Bee Bitter (Ordinary Bitter)
3.6%abv(est)
Still fermenting. I cut the honey from the recipe that I used last year.
(Gold medal winner English Pale Ale 2014)

Awards ceremony is at the Bayou on August 9th

Wish me luck!
 
You don't need luck. You're like the Patriots (or Spurs) of brewing. Always the favorite.
