Key quote to put things in perspective comes via Twitter from Oakshire's Matt Van Wyk:
103 degrees today. Even the 6am brew shift of a double brew won't be enjoyable. Which breweries have an air conitioned brewhouses???
And apropos of nothing, I offer you a phone pic I snapped outside my Boeing en route to Minneapolis. Even with just two megapixels, one has a sense of the grandeur. Lucky people will be driving up that mountain sometime this morning and not coming down until Thursday.




Update.
Widmer weighs in on Twitter: "Currently, the brewhouse is 115°, the boiler room is 135°, and the cooler is 46°. We'll hang out in the cooler, thanks very much."

  1. We have HVAC in our tiny little brewery. Nevertheless, I don't think I will be brewing tomorrow as planned, as I doubt the thing can keep up. Better to just drink beer instead. It stays 72 in the pub.

  2. Care to recommend any hot weather beers?
