Homebrewskys... Orange whips ...Deliciousnesses

They're delicious. And so easy to make I don't know why I don't make more. Oh, wait, I do make more...when I run out and then sometimes before I am out so I have more to drink when I need it, though, lately, like this blog, I have been lax on my brewing. The good news is that I just bottled a dozen 16 oz. bottles of my George Washington's Own Historically Inappropriat Goat Riot Ale.



It should be good. If it's not, at least it'll be drinkable. It's a wonderful brown ale of toasted oats and rye that my friends H & J helped me whip up. I based it on a recipe that the First Commander In Chief had in his Diary. (Yeah, I read books, too)


I also enjoy the making of the labels for my beers and sometimes get the inspiration for my beers from a picture. Or something someone says. Or a nickname.



The Vanilla Gorilla was a coffee vanilla brew that was inspired by my former trainer's boyfriend's nickname. Yeah, see, he's a huge dude that plays semi-pro football for the Madison Mustangs. Plus he has a great sense of humor.

I haven't yet done a nice, hearty stout, so maybe that one will be my next concoction. Of course, it goes without saying even though I'm gonna say it: I'm open to suggestions.
