went camping, took a few drives away from camp...the story goes is that i saw a pack of local beer at the last gas station before going to camp, bought the pack (mountain high ipa) liked it so much i thought the brewery was worth a visit, despite the long drive. it takes one hour just to get to the freeway from camp (so if you leave camp you automatically get a 2 hour drive lol)

girlfriend would not take the picture until i posed lol

weed ales is a smallll ass brewery but the beers were actually pretty danged good!
had all of the beers in this website plus 3 more seasonal ales (http://weedales.com/beers/)
brown ale
hemp ale
strawberry ginger

all beer was good, except the jalapeno which wasnt bad, it just isnt a flavor i want in beer and i hate porters so..thats a given.

i bought the new belgium summerfolly pack again for this camping trip so i drank...

new belgium:
somersault
Blue paddle
Ranger IPA
Fat Tire
anddd

growler of Mountain high ipa (weed ales)
weed ales golden ale
deschutes brewery (first ever...) mirror pond. loved it.
sierra nevada torpedo

picture is of leftovers lol

just an extra shot lol

so your job is brewing beer?

Some days. The second saturday of every month we host a brew day where people can come and brew beer with us. They have access to several burners, misc equipment, ingredients and a place to lager if they so choose. Otherwise I am selling craft/micro brews, local wine and home brewing stuff. If things are going slow or we just feel like it we might bust out the mash/lauter tun and do a batch.

i could brobly get away with it in the fall

. Oklahoma is anal about 'not' shipping alcohol, matter fact, i can't have alcohol shipped by mail/fedex/ups to oklahoma - they won't allow it

of course, i don't have to label it

----------

AHA! i've got it!

all i have to dos is send you an 'unconditioned' bottle. that way it has no pressure on it, so theres no worry of it busting. the hard part will be for you, because you will have to let it sit for about 2 weeks to finish conditioning lol!

bubble wrap is better but i wrapped mine individually in newspaper, cost me 20 bucks just to ship a 6 pack though because of the weight -_-
