Kansas City

Today I met Fergal Murray at a Guinness event in Kansas City. Murray is the brewmaster for Guinness' St. James Gate brewery in Dublin. Here is a picture that was taken after he signed my Guinness pint glass.

A couple weeks ago I was invited to the release party for Boulevard Brewing Company's first collaboration beer. The Imperial Pilsner is a Smokestack Series beer that was brewed collaboratively by Boulevard and Orval's brewmasters. Here I am getting my picture taken with Steven Pauwels of Boulevard and Jean-Marie Rock of Orval.

We spent the second weekend of September volunteering with the harvest at the Somerset Ridge Winery near Louisburg, Kansas.

It's only early June but so far this summer I've been to Europe and back, spent a weekend in Saint Louis, launched a couple websites, read a couple books and even had a recipe published by a popular food blog. Here are some of the pictures I've taken since getting back from Germany:
