Why I love Blondes

Blondes are pretty. They are simple and yet their bubbly nature brings out a complexity not found elsewhere; they are light but deep and rich in character. When one passes by my nose it is their fruity scent that makes my mouth water. When one touches my wet lips my eyes will roll back as a waterfall of flavors are tantalizing my senses. They are seductive. With every look and smell and taste and desire not felt for the other breeds I cannot help but ask the bartender, “may I have another?”

Widmer why not?

Last Friday I got the opportunity to take a private tour of Widmer’s brewing facility and what a facility it is. From their tanks that stretch from the basement of the building all the way up to the roof tops; from their bottling plant where they can bottle 300 beers a minute to their brew kettles where the magic happens I saw it all. Alan Taylor is one of the brew masters and he was the one giving the tour. Alan went to a brewing school in Germany before coming back to Oregon and working for Full sail then Widmer. The most interesting (and also one of the most gratifying) things about the plant was that the process of brewing was the same as the one I do at home.
