Success Tastes Good

We tried my brew last night and I'm SO happy with it. It turned out to be more of a darker Irish beer rather than the originally intended Red, but the taste has lost no magnificence. Almost like an Octoberfest, like Sam said, very malty and carmelly and full body of flavor. How convenient for this time of year AND my favorite season, eh? The official name is the gaelic-born Mikaela (Mick-ay-la), which is my middle name. It's gotten good reviews from all tenants of 1210 California, but if you'd like to judge for yourself, all you have to do is ask. I can't wait to have it around for the next few months (or however long it actually lasts...) to drink whenever I want to. Homebrewing is great.

With Sam's new financial prosperity yielding brewing mania, I'm not sure how much time he'll allow me to brew batch #2, but I'd like to get at least one more in before it gets super cold. New recipe ideas to come.

I'd also like to say that it's hilarious to me that I'm brewing. I feel like it's always really been Sam's thing, but to take part in his greatest passion in life really is an honor. And to actually be successful in it feels even better. I could be onto something here.

Happy Fall!

Love,
Vice-Brewmaster Moy
