Went Saturday noontime to the Captain to get some growlers, samples and some yeast to use in our next homebrew project. The Captain was running out to deliver some kegs so we decided to hang a bit and taste some beer. The newly released Noreaster was on tap and was delicious, ran into employee #2 who i haven't seen in a while, broke a bottle of Iron Fist Brewing Velvet Glove from Visa, CA, an imperial stout. Turned #1 son onto tasting this one when i run into soccerman7 from Katonah who now is up in VT, he brought Lawsons Maple Nipple and Hill Farmstead Everett which is a barrel aged porter. #1 got to talking to a whole bunch of people, he is understanding the draw to the Captain, not just the beer but the camaraderie of craft brew drinkers. He met a German dude, a pair of dudes from Brooklyn and the Bronx, put him on the tour of the brewery where we finally made arrangements for us to get some yeast. Ran into a good friend who i haven't seen in a while and he broke out a bottle of Perfect Storm fro Pelican Brewery. The day was a little longer than expected but it was fun.
