Etched in chalk

Wonderful Beer Wife and I stopped by Rock Bottom-Des Moines today for a late lunch, and noticed by their chalkboard that it was time I shared a little information on a project that I’ve been working on for a few months, though for the moment, it’s only time for the short story.

I’m working on a book, and part of that plan involves more than a little doppelbock. Graciously, Brewmaster Eric Sorensen has agreed to play along, and scale up one of my homebrew recipes for a one-off commercial release.

We’re slated to brew on Jan. 27, and have a Fat Tuesday release party planned for March 8. Illuminator Doppelbock will begin flowing at 6 p.m., and at 7 p.m. we’ll turn loose a crawfish boil for your tastebud pleasure.

This is a special day for a humble homebrewer, and I invite you to carve out some time in your calendar to join us for the festivities.

    Absolutely awesome news!! On the beer front and the book! I want a first edition of both :-)

    Geez, Glenn, I haven’t heard from you in ages. How’s everything? We may have to work up another trade, a growler of my doppelbock for something of Sean’s. I’m dying to try some of his stuff.

    Congrats, it’s like having your beer get it’s own star on Hollywood Boulevard. Unless some miraculous timing occurs, I probably won’t be around to be “Illuminated”. Good luck with your endeavours.

    Yeah, poor Adam: “I can’t make it because I’ll be brewing in Munich.”
