Dude. It's warm in here. I mean, it's really damn hot. Brewmaster Eric has realized that the greatest enemy to the safety of the beer at EVBC at HQ might in fact be our Con Ed bill. As the mercury pushed its way northward this past weekend, HQ experienced it's first "pants optional" afternoon, as I found it near impossible to stay either awake or clothed in my only partially air conditioned apartment. The deadly combination of a small a/c unit in the bedroom (where non-beer magic happens) and a dearth of effective blinds in the kitchen and front rooms (where the beer magic happens) led me to create a vortex of desk fans to keep our current brews at usable temperature.

So far, friends and well-wishers, we've made it through unscathed. However as the summer promises to steadily march forward in its unwavering mission to fry my brain and destroy our delicious beers, we must investigate our options to keep the beer at safe fermenting temperatures in the future. The awesomeness of your delicious 1st St Wheat depends on it! That's right, as promised, Brewmaster Marshall and I are returning to our fan favorite in order to win back your love and approval. While B.M. has a few dozen hobbies at any given time that he employs to show off his personal value to the world, I'm left merely with bawdy limmericks and brewing. And frankly, my latests brews cannot be saved by even the bawdiest of limmericks. Luckily, I've already began eyeing a space in the corner near the a/c that'll keep a delightful summer brew safely fermenting for the coming months, and we'll all be the better off for it.

Any special flavoring requests from the peanut gallery?
