So as i stated earlier i got sick last week. I should say that on wed i slept for 14 hours straight. I still have a cough but besides that i'm now good. The test on friday was mostly over bacteria, filtration, wild yeast. I did alright. this past friday was set up to be very book serious(best way i can put it). After the test we had one hour of lecture, then 2 hours of how to do a sampling session(including drinking said beers). After lunch we had a tasting of german style beers. And to top it all off we had a field trip to metropolitan brewery and a distillery next to it. The brewery is small about 1000 barrels a year at this point. But there is a lot of room to grow. 15 barrel brewhouse, 30 barrel fermentors. Really nice people and an interesting trekie themed bathroom. The distillery was cool but we could be loud, the owners baby was sleeping. After lots of beer we headed back to the hostel.... with a keg of bells amber. The reason we get kegs is because if we all got good beers out at bars we would spend way more than if we got a keg. It also allows us to be the party patrol at the hostel. if people are parting here, someone of us brewers is involved in it. It kicked around 3 am. Oh school...
