oh! y’all are the best! really, this made my day – twice now. it might continue to do so for a while. thank you and thank the seal!

she does look a bit put out about the beer – i hope it helps that she has my everlasting gratitude for being a good sport (and adorable and *talented*). or, if that is not sufficient, know that i would gladly lavish her with treats!

=D

Lighthouse is Violet’s favorite! I have been there once or twice. It was delicious! Exceptional. Man, you have some good taste! I was looking at your restaurant favorites on your blog and I agree with all of them! Hopalotapus sounds dreamy! IPA is my favorite.

I know that moment of watching your dog do something that has just been so hard for so long. The pride! The Seal was quick to balance things on her head but when it came to dropping the ball outside before coming inside, there were some serious stand offs, let me tell you. Sometimes I would give up and wedge a stick in her slobbery mouth and just fling the ball out. But then, just a few weeks ago we got back from the park and before I said anything she just dropped the ball on the front porch and looked up at me with a big ol’ smile. I think we were equally proud.

I’m so glad you have that video of Gracie. It makes my stomach hurt a little but it also makes me smile for you.

We have 4 batches of beer bottled right now, 2 coconut porters (No! You’re Coconutty! Porter and Not so Coconutty Porter), a brown ale (I look great in green Brown Ale) and an IPA (Hopalotapus IPA 2009). Maybe during the meeting and greet we will have a beer tasting.

I have always wanted to learn to brew… Maybe a good goal for 2010. The coffee on the Seal’s head is the Kelani brand. I switch around, so long as it is shade grown and organic/fair trade of course. I’ll have to look into lighthouse- not sure I’ve had that brand?

A couple of years ago Sara brewed a Mocha porter using Lighthouse Coffee and Theo Chocolate nubs. She would approve of the Sierra Nevada too, one of the better macrobrews.
