////
We have discovered the beautiful, nearly spiritual process of homebrewing. G and I are giving out bottles of our first batch as xmas gifts (since we're broke, as usual). Plus the idea that everyone can use another beer is quite valid. I made labels for this batch which, of course, are clever and amusing. Being a milk stout which is usally a holiday or winter ale we went with SLAY BELLS in keeping with the planned tradition of naming all our beers after some aspect of horror movies. Here's a little peek at how it went.
Cheers!
