Back before I started this beer a day project, I used to homebrew pretty frequently. I’ve mostly stopped for the time being – I can’t drink it fast enough to make it worthwhile since I’ve already got at least one beer a day spoken for. I am planning a rosemary IPA for the fall, though.

Careful observers will note that – once again – I missed a day of beer-drinking, extending this journey by 24 hours and up to 22 ounces. Still, even casual observers will note that the hard part of this episode is not the drinking (and certainly not the note-taking), but the blogging. Trying to catch up!
