It's Officially Cold

Being rooted in the SouthEast, seasons are a gamble. This past summer I told myself, I wouldn't wash a t-shirt until all were worn at least once. I'd simply let the pile get larger and larger until "fashion" or smell dictate otherwise. Well December was warm to say the least, and rainy. ( I hunt, trust me I'm in tune to the weather big time Oct-Mar).  Well here's part (68 about 1/5th) of my t-shirt collection ready to be washed now that long sleeves have come and gone and we're back to warmer temps. So let's look in to the history of the T-shirt, since it goes along with brewing, kind of. Well think about it, most breweries have at least a T-shirt for sale to aid in revenue.

ESB's Namesake Arrival

I haven't blogged much because my latest ESB's "owner" has arrived. April 5, Evelyn Grace came into this world at 3:10pm weighing in at 7lbs 8oz at 19&1/2" in length. Oddly enough her brew is getting better and better the longer it sits on carbonation. Without divulging too much, her "flat" mates had interesting names. One I swore to share and research was the following-- Cherelijah, pronounced Cher+Elijah. Further investigation reveals the textbook meaning of the name, Cher is Louisiana Creole for "sweetie" or "darling" from the French derivative chéri. And of course Elijah is Old Testament Hebrew for "My God is Yahweh" or My God is Lord. Yeah, wrap your head around that one! At least when someone googles Cherelijah, I'll get a hit:) And by the way we've knicknamed her Hello Kitty, because when she cries it sounds like a cats meow?
