Speaking of Beer

Today we enter the Build-A-Beer Workshop, for a little beer-geek talk about improving your homebrewing efforts. I’m joined by my Brewing Compadre Shawn as we pit two of our home-brewed babies in a head-to-head comparison. Both are modeled after Stone’s Arrogant Bastard Ale, the first being our original “Monkey Bastard,” and the second it’s “evolved” descendant, the “Neanderthal Bastard.” [Yes, I'm aware that Neanderthals were not in fact descended from monkeys but rather share a common ancestor with them, so off my case, dang it!] To make things a little more entertaining, Shawn and I had already been geeking out on beer rather enthusiastically before we fired up the microphone. So you get what you get: two guys drinking and talking and analyzing beer, all in the name of the perpetual quest for brewing the perfect pint.

Lets make this easy: find yourself some of Stone Brewing Co.’s Arrogant Bastard Ale. Or, if you brewed along with the Build-a-Beer Workshop and have some Monkey Bastard lying around, that will do as well. This will be a homebrew tasting show, but AB was definitely the target, so should accompany the proceedings nicely.
