RePublic Brewpub: Underqualified

http://republicbrewpub.blogspot.com/2009/10/underqualified.html

Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Despite having never worked in a commercial kitchen, I'm now a state-certified food manager. I love bureaucracy. My certification expires in September of 2014, so I have plenty of time to reinvent myself as the guy who fires you for doing lines on the prep table. Hmmmmmmm What if I wipe it up with some raw chicken. October 23, 2009 at 2:22 PM. Ahhh, whats the fun of being a cook if you cant do a couple bumps now and then? November 9, 2009 at 10:16 AM.

RePublic Brewpub: April 2009

http://republicbrewpub.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 30, 2009. What is a Restaurant? A few days ago, Jason from WKOW's Brew News. Weblog asked me what I thought of the brewpub bill. After unloading my usual tirade about its injustices, my lawyer asked me "where is this 50% food/beer thing coming from? Oh, that's easy. I'll just pull up the Wisconsin statutes and run a quick search. where the @#$% did it go! A brewery can't sell food at all. A brewpub must sell food, but the amount isn't specified.

Thursday, September 24, 2009. For applying an all-malt philosophy to British beer recipes. Not knowing where to buy British brewing sugars, I've been using Belgian Dark Candi Syrup. Sunday, September 20, 2009. My first attempt at brewing with cherries - a 5-gallon batch of cherry porter - was slightly disappointing. Here's what I did:. Fermented the base beer for four days. Mixed 10 lbs of cherries with enough water to cover the fruit. Mashed the cherries with a giant perforated spoon. If you accept faxe...

RePublic Brewpub: Assembly Hearing = Meh

http://republicbrewpub.blogspot.com/2009/10/assembly-hearing-meh.html

Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Assembly Hearing = Meh. Today's hearing on AB287 pretty much went like this:. Proponents: alcohol abuse, drunk driving and underage drinking cause a lot of problems in Wisconsin. We support a beer tax increase so law enforcement and treatment projects can be better-funded. Opponents: raising the beer tax will result in job losses, and potential business closures, in the brewing and related retail industries which are vital to Wisconsin's economic health.

RePublic Brewpub: July 2009

Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Session Beers Are Only Part of the Plan. Between many meetings and occupancy negotiations, I was able to sneak in a brewday last week. The beer - a massively strong blond farmhouse ale for my brother's wedding anniversary - is still fermenting at a moderate pace.
