On Sunday I had the good fortune to meet Paul Arney, former brewer for Deschutes Brewery who is now heading up his own brewing project, The Ale Apothecary, to find out more about his brewing endeavor and receive a test batch bottle of his beer, Sahalie. You may remember that … Continue reading
This came today: The Abyss is officially released on November 15th, three weeks from now. I imagine I’ll be drinking this before then.
