Random Update

Well I don't really write as much on here as I probably should, so I am trying to fix that now. Since I have been slacking off on the pancake front (I drink all the beer and leave none for breakfast) as well as homebrewing (just a lazy asshole), I have had nothing really pressing to write up. With nothing big going on, here is a bunch of little things going on:

-Ottos Pub and Brewery in State College finally got their license approved and will open up the doors at the new place on Monday at 11 AM. They are only moving slightly down the street, but it's still exciting.
-Gamble Mill's new brewery is getting pretty close to pouring beer. Apparently only 1 more hurdle to go. I wrote a bit about my visit with the brewer, Mike, here.
-Went to Stoudt's Microfest last weekend and had a great time. Tried beers from some PA breweries that I had never heard of before and also got to taste a nice variety of IPAs.
-Speaking of IPAs, I am drinking a Sly Fox Rt 113 IPA...great beer in a can.
-I did some research on beer glass washing, and saw people rinsing with water/baking soda solutions...this seems to work well.
-Despite not really being a blogger, I volunteered to do some blogging/tweeting for some work related activities (research conference) and got the position. That is some crazy shit.

I think that is about all for now, but hopefully there will be more updates either like this or with a more focused themes in the future. Maybe I will start reviewing beers or beer places in the area....who knows.
