Brew, Bottle, and Taste

Finally...after over a month of patiently waiting, our first batch of beer, Pluto's Not a Planet Amber Ale, was ready for tasting. It tasted surprisingly like...beer. The carbonation was just right and it had a pretty good flavor. Maybe my expectations were low since this was our first batch and I just recently watched Palin's first debate, but it exceeded the expectations I had set.

It was a busy night as we also bottled the Federal Bailout IPA and began brewing Hard Time Belgium Ale. It's looking like some good brews from here on out.
