Hi guys,

I just joined. Although I was part of the group when the club first started. I know Dave, Kyle and Thomas (maybe more depending on how many are still around). I did just recently meet Steve, brews belgium beer, a few weeks ago at Garrison.

I'm not home brewing at this time, but I should be in the summer. I just don't have the room but I might be moving in the summer and I'll have the space then. In the mean time I need to learn more about beer so I can write the Cicerone exam.

Off to comment on a couple of other threads, and finish off a growler of Yippee IPA, then moving onto bottles of Stone Pale Ale, Stone IPA, and then Stone Ruination IPA. hmm...Ruination IPA.

Hey JohnE - nice to hear from you - hope to see you at a meeting sometime! You don't have to bring anything to check us out and its always nice to meet new folks in the area... (I dont think we've ever met, I'm a bit newer than Thomas / Kyle / Dave...)

Welcome, Where did you happen to pick up the Stone stuff. I love Ruination and Oaked Arrogant Bastard. I did a tour of their brewery back in November. If you ever get a chance to go, do it. It is an awesome tour.

is this John who always brough a camera to the meetings ?

Kyle · February 10, 2012, 09:43:06 AM

Hi John, I was wondering if that was you (there are 4 people named John now registered). Glad you turned up again. I have to say, without a doubt, the beer is way better than it was at the beginning.

Fun fact: the Centennial IPA I had on tap at the meeting at my place was a Stone Ruination IPA clone.

Chris Craig · February 10, 2012, 07:53:15 PM

This is quite close to the Stone Ruination clone I found a while back. Going to have to make that soon.

JohnE · February 10, 2012, 08:23:01 PM

Dave, it is the same John.

Justin C.: I'll explain where/how I got a crap load of Stone beer at the next meeting.

Stone uses WY1968

John - Yes that was me you met at the Garrison Belgian tasting night :-) Good to see you back!

Justin C · February 11, 2012, 11:03:36 AM

The All Hopped up recipe I posted was also a Ruination Clone recipe. It turned out good, I can wait to get back from Oklahoma to drink the rest of it!

Thomas · February 11, 2012, 11:11:33 AM

thats the recipe. Only the wilamette and citra were thrown in just because I had some extra lying around.
