The Friday Question

Wow, blog post 200 …. happy anniversary to me! So some of you think we’re lazy, just brewing once or twice a week! No my friends, the reality of it is that as of last Friday we’d brewed 10,057 gallons (we’ve done another 1000 since then)! That makes Chris the winner (again) with his guess of 9999 gallons. Congratulations, you’re the winner of a growler of Hot Monkey Love and a Hot Monkey Love t-shirt. This weeks question is this … in making those 10,057 gallons of beer, how many pounds of hops did we use?  As usual, please post your answers via the comment section below. I’ve got to admit, I’ll be shocked if anybody gets even close to the correct answer. As this is the 200th post I’m going to try and make the prize something special, can’t say what yet but fingers crossed it’ll work out and I’ll post when I know for sure.

Please join us tonight for pint night @ The Metropolitan Coffee House (www.metrobalto.com) where they’ll be serving Hot Monkey Love & Cherry Blossom Ale (and a little surprise!). Come along, grab a free pint glass to add to your already bulging glassware cupboard and enjoy a hand crafted ale on what promises to be a beautiful evening.
