    ideas for pint size jars

    Bourbon

    I've recently started drinking the Jim Beam Red Stag. It doesn't take me too long to go through a bottle of that-it's good stuff.

    Homebrewers Roll-Call

    I've been homebrewing for about 9-10 years. I've been brewing extract with grains for most of that time. Got a Munich Helles that I need to bottle later today.

    best beer for BBQ

    a home made brew always goes good with bbq. if i don't have any homebrew on hand, i usually go for a red ale or a bock to go with my bbq.

    using beer

    just wondering if anybody has any recipes for marinades or bbq sauces that includes beer as an ingredient? i brew my own beer and had the thought of using some of it for marinades and sauces.

    Favorite Iowa BBQ Restaurant

    i personally like hickory park the best. it's a 30 minute drive but i think it's worth it. coming in in a close second for me is smoky d's in des moines.

    Drink of choice?

    a good homebrew for me (or any good beer if i'm out of homebrew)! when it's cold outside, i'll sometimes go for a southern comfort and pepsi in place of the beer.

    is it wrong to start drinking at 7:30?

    i used to work 3rd shift so i was getting off work at 7:00 in the morning. so, to me,  it was like having a beer in the evening. there are bar & grill type places in the town i live in in iowa that open as early as 6:00-7:00 in the morning. at the end of the work week, i'd go to one of these...
