Who's The Black Boss?

Just drank a Black Boss Porter. I can't figure out why they didn't call it "Coal Porter." Maybe it's because they're Polish. But still: Pole Porter.

Firkin Good!

Who among us doesn't like to enjoy their own work? When you nail it, their is nothing like sitting back, and lettin em hang knowing that maybe you aren't full of shit, and are actually good at the things you say you are. I had this happen to me today. Allow me to elaborate. I work at a brewery. About a month ago, I made some firkins (naturally carbonated kegs) of a special imperial stout that we brewed. I won't bore you with details, but the process of making a firkin involves combining by hand finished beer, fermenting beer, and dry hops in a special keg, then sealing it with wooden corks so it will carbonate. Nothing complicated sounding, but there is a certain finesse needed. Well, I heard through the grape vine today that these firkins have been tapped, and people are enjoying the results! So I headed over to BierKraft this afternoon to grab a pour, and Damn! So good! While there, I saw someone else enjoying a pour, and felt the kind of pride that Scorsese must feel when he hears someone in a bar say, "Taxi Driver changed my life!", or the pride that Steven Tyler must feel when the song "Crazy" comes on in a bar, and he hears someone say, "I totally tugged it to Liv Tyler in this video". Take your victories where you can get em.
