Louisville Area Grain and Extract Research Society

Last night, Kat and I went to our first L.A.G.E.R.S. meeting and joined up.  Ostensibly I wanted to be able to use the 10% discount on home brewing stuff, but we really had a good time.  The hold the meetings once per month at the Bluegrass Brewing Company Taproom.  There were a bunch of people last night and we talked with several of them.  I met two guys who, like us, had just joined.

One was named Chris and he brought his own beer that he recently made.  It was a pale ale and Kathy really enjoyed it, so I gave him my email address and I hope he sends me the recipe.  They were doing a tasting of this Belgian beer which had all the same ingredients but was pitched with six different types of yeast.  I was amazed that even my blunt palette could distinguish differences between the batches.  Kat also tried some of the BBC Bourbon Barrel Stout and really liked it!

We had a really good time.
