What Did You Do at Work Today?

I brewed beer. Yeah, I'm braggin bitches.

So as I alluded to in my previous post, I took a new job. I'm the assistant brewer a/k/a brew bitch/beer sales rep. at Backcountry Brewery in Frisco, CO.

Today was my first day, and I "helped" brew our Peak One Porter. "Help" means I stood around for several hours and observed what was being done by the head brewer. My biggest action of the day came when I got to shovel the grain out of the mash tun. At one point I dropped my shovel and had to hop in. It reminded me of a summer day of working on a roof in Georgia. Humid as shit. Let me tell you, shit is pretty effin humid.
