Beer Vlog Delays

The beer vlog is not going to be up and running until next week sometime. John borrowed the video camera to use for his speech class final. The camera is a bit old so it uses those mini-tapes. His professor didn't have a tape converter so John just gave her the entire camera so she could hook it up directly to a TV. John's in Chicago until Sunday so I hope to have the camera back on Monday.

Plus, I'm not quite sure the software I have can handle how the entries will be edited, so I'm pirating some from my brother on Saturday - now know as Westvleteren Day henceforth.

The first five vlogs will be as follows - Achel Extra, Orval, Rochefort 8, Chimay Blue, Westmalle Dubbel. I'd like to find a La Trappe somewhere now that they're back in as Trappists (Maarten I know it really grinds your gears to know there is a Trappist Brewery in Holland).

In other news, I am in a book reading phase again, as I'm currently reading The Brothers Karamazov and See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA's War on Terrorism. It focuses on Robert Baer and is the basis for Syriana. Surprisingly, his anger stems from the disintegration of the CIA and he goes to great lengths to not only defend the CIA but call for its resurgence. Very interesting insight.
