Well, this happened.....
« on: April 22, 2015, 12:40:30 AM »
I've accepted the position of Brewery Ambassador for Oakshire Brewing in Eugene OR.  Tours, tasting, and education.  Spent the afternoon helping brew their flagship IPA to get a feel for how the brewhouse works.

I can tell you that the recipe has changed a bit since the book was published.  Let me check with Matt to see if I can release the new one.  But, yeah, that's one of my favorite IPAs anywhere.

Cool beans... One question though.... I've always wondered if the Shire is really full of hobbits and how do you work around them?

What an awesome position.  And you're the perfect guy for it!  As I recall you were functioning informally in that position last Summer when my wife and I made it down to Eugene.  :)

You guys will have to come back down sometime once the tours start and ride the bus!

I hope you get some large shoes. A brewery is no place for bare hobbit feet.
