Off to Brew School

I have good news and bad news fair readers. Bad news first? Well there may be a slow down in the blog postings. Whats that you say? We take forever to post anything new anyway? Well I wouldn't say forever, but it looks like things might slow down a bit more, which brings us to the good news. I am going to be heading off to Germany to attend the 2009 Brewmaster program at Versuchs- und Lehranstalt für Brauerei in Berlin (VLB).

The course is going to start January 5th 2009, but we may not be able to do much brewing between now and then since I am going to be focusing on packing up my life in Rochester (And if we did brew would there be enough time for me to enjoy any of it?).

I hope to do two things for you readers though. #1 Discuss why I chose to go to VLB over other programs such as the one at UC Davis or the World Brewing Academy through the Siebel Institute of Technology. #2 Start a blog about my experience in the program should anyone want to read about it.
In any case that's whats to come for Midnight Brewing Co. That was probably as tiring reading as it was writing so why don't you crack open a homebrew. Cheers!
