so I'm getting married next week, August 4th in Buffalo, NY to the most wonderfully awesome woman, in front of almost 250 friends and family.  It's been a long, long wait for this but its been more than worth it.  (\end sappy rant).

I was going to make pedals for all my groomsmen as gifts, but that was too much work, so I made them beer instead.  actually, 3 beers.  A Belgian, a Steam Beer and something I call Irish Gold.

I'll be off to Jamaica the week after.  Very excited so say the least.  I got her a nice Nikon DLSR (DSLR?) for a wedding gift so we should have some nice pictures to share afterwards!

NICE dude.

Camera's a great idea.  As were the beers.  I've already got a kegerator... been toying with the idea of trying homebrewing...

You are a man of good taste! Beer is a way better gift then a pedal! (slightly depending who your groomsmen are....) Getting married is a blast (almost my first anniversary!) and judging by what you are writing, you are off with a good start. Enjoy, and if she's the one, keep her!!!

Congrats, Z-man!

Homebrew FTW!

I just got back from the homebrew shop. I'm brewing this weekend, and the wife has asked me to show her the ropes. Should be fun having a helper for a change.

Am I sensing a strange correlation between these two hobbies?   ;D

I agree, this is an uncanny confluence of taste in hobbies!

My wife (of 14 years now! Hard to believe) got me this "beers of the world" sampler for X-mas. I loved it! So for my recent birthday, my wife wondered aloud what to get me, and just when I was about to say "money for pedal parts!", my five-year-old daughter says, "just get him a pack of beer!"  :)  So I did in fact receive a "summer beer" sampler. God I love my family!

All the best to you and your wife! Enjoy it because it goes by way too fast.

Indeed there is.  I have a batch of Dark Lager beer to bottle next week then I'm going to make some spirits with Still Spirits for the first time, I can't wait. ;D  
Just 8 days for 23L of 15-20% for next to nothing.  My local shop rents the "water purifier" that can further refine it up to 60-80% which can be cut down to 40% and mixed with their flavor essence packages to create a very large assortment of drinks.  Their website is http://stillspirits.com/.  It should prove to be an interesting experience.

Aziltz, congratulations in advance!

God bless New Zealand, where home distillation (owning and operating a still) is completely legal for your own use. I've done a few homebrews, no spirits yet though.
