Been awhile since I posted on my own site, but I’ve had a lot going on that I guess I need to catch folks up to speed if anyone even still reads the site.
Finally back to work, and ecstatic about it. Being unemployed for so long was rotting my brain, driving me crazy and making family life stressful. Very happy to be working again.
I got a job working for a staffing company as a team manager at a major tech company in the Austin area. The original position I got hired for was a phone tech job, but thankfully, I got promoted to team manager based on my previous work history and performance.
I named my homebrew operation in August. Its name is the New Texian Brewery. I’m really enjoying the whole process from brewing to bottling… ok, I don’t really enjoy filling and capping 50 bottles in one sitting by hand. Not the funnest thing ever… However, everything else about brewing is something I enjoy. My wife and kids hate the smell, but I love it. It’s intoxicating (get it????) to me.
Since July, I’ve made 6 brews. They include a Red Ale (Red Blooded Ale), Hefeweizen (High Plains Hefe), Whiskey Porter (Cur Dog Porter), Hard Cider (337 Cider), Amber Rye (Autumn Amber Rye), and Pale Ale (Piney Woods Pale). I brewed them to make a variety six pack for friends and family for Christmas, like the sampler pack from Shiner (Family Reunion Six Pack). So far, everything is pretty good. Some better than others.
