Rustic Weekend: Homebrew

Remember when Mark was bottling his home brew? I was eagerly waiting for the day when it would be ready to drink. 

Well, it tasted fantastic, for a first go! I'm sorry you guys don't get to taste it, but it does taste as good as it looks:

And now that Fall (AKA Autumn) is fully on its way, we're meticulously planning our fall festival activities and stocking up on pumpkin beer and cider that tastes like campfires. Fall (AKA Autumn) is a huge deal here in rural PA, and I'm willing to get on board with anything that involves rustic baking and tasty spiced drinks.

I'd love for Mr to try brewing his own pumpkin beer but unfortunately all the pumpkins he tried to grow went funky and died, so the next keg will likely be basic beer flavor. I'm totally okay with that.

In the spirit of rural American pass-times, I'm also helping Mr with design, photos and content for a beer brewing (and tasting) blog. You can get a sneaky peak here, but I'll let you know when it's launched proper.

Over the next few weeks I'll be posting lots of Fall (AKA Autumn) related posts and activities. What's your favorite thing about Fall? What do you recommend I try out?
