Lost footage - Homebrew Con 2017 - Timelapse video from the JAB booth!

Hey strangers! Long time, not a lot of posting happening out here, but seeing I have some vacation time here at the end of 2018, I figured I'd post some things I've had laying around.

As some of you know, I am an avid homebrewer of beer for many years. As part of this hobby, I participate in a local homebrew club called the Jack of All Brews, based out fo the west metro. As part of this club, we participated in the national event put on by the National American Homebrewers Association called Homebrew Con.

Below was some 'forgotten' footage of a GoPro cam I had stuck into the corner of our booth. This particular footage was the evening where all the homebrew clubs from across the nation joined to share and talk about their beers. You can see fellow club members standing around, serving and chatting with others throughout this ~3 hours event... heck, I even make an appearance at one point! Overall a great night mingling with fellow brewers!

2017 Surly Brewing Co. Release Calendar!

Some of you may or may not know that I am a big fan of the Surly Brewing Co based out of Minnesota. I collect, consume and partake in the beers as well as their Surly Gives A Damn charitable work (yeah, I've done charitable things with them from - rounding up Nice Ride bikes from the U of M campus to spending time cleaning up at the Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity's ReStore location. Aside from doing these great things for the state, they kinda kicked it all off back in 2011 its key, now deemed, "Surly Bill" which has since opened the door for many other great breweries in the great state of Minnesota such as Fulton, Dangerous Man and many, many others. On top of their great beers, I simply love their 'vibe' as well as design that they have!

Even though I am somewhat sad and disappointed in more recent news that co-founder and head brewer, Todd Haug left only to join up with another forceful brewery, Three Floyds based out of Indiana, I am still diggin' what Surly does and will continue to support them. I am eagerly anticipating their releases this year, especially from their bottle program. Click below to check out their 2017 release schedule as mentioned in one of their recent e-mail newsletters:
