Wow, Austin Brew Fest was awesome. It was a bit hot, but the venue was sweet and the beers refreshing.

I discovered a couple new breweries down there. Hops & Grain had a beer named after my daughter...well, not really, but it was a great tasting lager. I dig the craft beer scene in Austin.

I got a chance to jam with Mountain Standard Time as well. They sounded great and our music seemed to flow effortlessly - great musicians.

So I moved my Juniper IPA to secondary and cleaned up the carboy. I dropped more juniper in and did another dry hop addition. We will see how it comes out.

I also swung by FATE Brewing and did our tea infusion trials. We loaded up 10 samples of the finished beer and poured 5 different teas of varied amounts into the beer samples. We came up with some great combos. I think my favorite was the earl grey infusion.

We will have this FATE beer, my homebrew, my gluten-free beer with New Planet, and a couple special brews from Avery that we made (dry-hopped Joe's Pils and Winter's Day IPA) all available at Kyle's Brew Fest July 20th in Boulder, as well as 30 more great breweries.
Hope to see ya there!
