Hundreds of people converging at Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens to help decide which of 40 homebrewers get to brew a beer with Stone.
Two members from our local homebrew club were in the running so several of us went down to support them (and also to sample the quality of southern california homebrew…which needless to say, is pretty frickin’ high). I hadn’t been to Stone in quite awhile and I was reminded of just how beautiful a place it is to sit with a beer on a nice day.

Here it is, another year and that means another Gold Standard. This is really the only food event that has become a non-negotiable must attend thing for me. This one may be the last (no one seems to be clear on that)…I am not a foodie in the same way that I am not a beer geek. Which is either delusional thinking on my part or maybe that I don’t take it all that seriously. (Though perhaps now that I am going to the Stone AHA Invitational next week…to help judge beers, I may eventually have to stop pretending that I really don’t give a shit about this stuff.)
Anyway, these are some photos I took at this annual event curated by Jonathan Gold in Los Angeles. Click the picture to be taken to the album titled Gold Standard 2012 . I have a few regrets from this year…(ie. like not tasting Palate’s Lamb’s Heart Tacos or perhaps not having a filled champagne glass in my hand the whole time) but basically I still had a hedonist and gluttonous great time!
Now let’s revisit what I had!

As I am starting recipe #3 this weekend…**which I would describe as a chocolate mole stout with molasses, cacao nibs and habernero peppers…and oats (which I hope to replicate the sens of a ripe avocado on the mouthfeel). Fuck trying to make the fantasy beers of Belgium or Germany…I wanna make my fantasy beer of Mexico, while pretending that it isn’t actually a land of Tecate and Pacifico.
I thought I would post the final results of recipe #1 (and it’s blueberry-flavored variant) as I prepare to bottle recipe #2. In a perfect world, I would have original art on the bottles but for now, I knocked these out just for fun (and more importantly, so I can keep track of what’s in all these identical looking brown bottles I’ve got laying around the house.
Why name it after Keaton’s 1924 film The Navigator? I think the wheat beer style often serves (for many Americans) as the gateway into more interesting beer. And as my first home brew, it just seemed like the appropriate place to start.

I don’t blog as much as I used to but don’t let that fool ya.
The links section of The Explosive Generation will lead you down all kinds of different paths. But one you should probably amble down now and again is my beer blog Fabulously Fermented.
In the past few months, I became a home brewer. I suppose it’s a natural progression, but learning about beers over the past few years made me start imagining beers that hadn’t been born yet…and thus the urge to start creating them. However, since brewing is a science as well as an artistic endeavor…one needs to learn the science first. And there’s no better way than empirical experiments…so I started making suds!
