Brewing and Flash

June 23rd, 2008 | by Marc |

Out of curiosity, how many Flash/Flex/Designer/Developers, whatevers, out there brew their own beer? Both Matt and I brew beer and definitely enjoy all things beer related. This question comes after watching "The American Brew," a DVD that I picked up at the American Crafter Brew Fest here in Boston.
I think the number mentioned in this movie was that over 500,000 American's brew their own beer. So I ask how much of that number is populated by our community.

Also, should you reply to this ... let us know what you're brewing. I for one am currently fermenting an Imperial Stout and an ESB. Pretty stoked on the Stout.

Lastly, although I haven't decided if I'm going to go, I think it's awesome that Flash on Tap popped up and that Keith and Chris (fellow Bostonians) are kicking up the Boston pride by naming a local Flash Convention after Boston's favorite crutch. There is an excellent line up of speakers, and I hope there will be a terrific turn out.

  2. Raises hand.

    Just put a simple IPA into the secondary and will bottle in a couple days. Made a Belgian Golden Ale a while back that should be ready to drink soon. Been trying to do soda as well but just had a sweet episode of bottle burst the other day. Got to see a half gallon of ginger beer evacuate a growler in about 5 seconds.

  3. My carboys are empty right now but I’ve done porters and reds in the past…and I have some lambic hard cider from last fall’s harvest tucked away for the hot summer.
