Opening Day!

I've got my Ryno jersey on, brewing an IPA and the Cubs are starting the season this afternoon on ESPN...Life is good!

I start this season with the same optimism as every year and the Cubs are still in first.  Their team is getting on the old side, so they better try to get something done this year.  I am making some beer today and realized once I got brewing that I was planning to make a "It's Gonna Happen" Saison that would turn into a "Wait 'Till Next" Saison as soon as the Cubs were eliminated from contention.  Well, I already had the IPA series planned out, so I will make the Saison soon.  Wait till next year...then it will be the opening day beer (spring seasonal?). 

Opening Day IPA
Style: American IPA
Malt: American 2-Row, Crystal, Honey Malt, Munich
Hops: Amarillo, Centennial, Chinook, Columbus
ABV: ~ 6.5%
Playlist: Go Cubs Go and Hey, Hey, Holy Mackerel on repeat

Off to the CBC tomorrow in Chicago, I have a preview post going up tomorrow and hope to post stuff daily.  If nothing is up, that means that I don't have the time and will get some good stuff up the following week.

  1. I guess the Cubs won't be undefeated this year
