the Shakespeare Festival starts tonight!
If you still don’t have tickets, there are some left! We will be serving our Schild Brau, Warsh Pale Ale, John’s White Ale, and Root Beer on draft each night. On Saturday there will be a special tasting starting at 3pm. I should be there… though I am doing a 30 mile bike ride from Iowa City to Amana through Oxford with my father that morning… so hopefully I will still be able to walk! But I need to get in shape for the brewery ride on July 17th!
There is a wonderful article on beer and food pairing in the New York times today (free subscription required). That guy is really been good at getting the word out about beer and food. I’m very impressed!
Well we received a truckload of malt today, so I need to go and haul up the last four pallets. Lets see, thats about 8000lbs! We have lots of free exercise around here!

You missed a good time today, Aaron…Eric’s tasting at the Cow was fantastic…I think everybody, including me, raved about a brown ale called Nostradamus…however, that ran long and I had people to taxi, which meant that I didn’t get down to the Shakespeare fest until 4pm, leaving me an hour, which meant I attempted to rush things, and you should never rush beer! (especially when some of it is over 8% ABV. Oy!)

Well I didn’t make it there until that evening. I was surprised to learn that you guys blew through a 1/6th bbl of warsh pail! I heard there was only 20 or so people… I take it you guys really like that beer!
I saw Much Ado About Nothing, and it was quite good. Its so nice to be outside… I’m going to see Measure for Measure next weekend.
