		<title>X Brew Tasting Notes &#8211; X IPA 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beer: X IPA 1 &#8211; 36/50
Tasting Date: 1/4/2010
Appearance [max 5] : 3
Solid head that keeps its form, and slowly settles into a 1/4&#8243; blanket  on the surface that slowly gets consumed through the beer.
Deep copper color.  Definitely darker than what I remember West    Coast IPA would have.  Going to need to do a side-by-side comparison [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boulevard Brewing &#8211; Saison Brett</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Over the holidays I had the distinct pleasure of getting my hands on Boulevard Brewing&#8217;s Saison-Brett from their Smokestack Series.  This beer was rated pretty high on BA and RB, so I didn&#8217;t mind dropping the cash on it.  It was the holidays, and I had been working my way through many imperials, stouts, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hitting your target infusion mash temperature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first began learning about mashing from a friend, we used his setup which employed a plastic bucket and a thick, insulated sleeve slipped over the bucket. We rarely had problems hitting our target mash temperature.  Like many others making the transition to all-grain brewing, when I purchased my own equipment, I chose [...]]]></description>

Sometimes it can be a challenge to &#8220;Relax, Don&#8217;t Worry, etc&#8230;&#8221;.  It has been a while since I have broken in a new mash tun, and man did I forget how frustrating that can be.  Yesterday was one of those brew days where you are constantly maneuvering trying to stay on course.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>X Brew Inauguration Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I am embarking on the first in a (hopefully) long-running series of experimental brew days, which I plan on sharing here on brewerman.com.  The  inspiration for my approach is a combination of the recent revisiting of some Brew Your Own articles, and a lay-off that has given me more free time.   [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deschutes Mirror Mirror pics and other Beer Geekery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those not in the know, Mirror Mirror is about to see a  re-release.  Mirror Mirror is a barley wine that kicked off Deschutes'  Reserve series (see Abyss, Dissident, Black Butte XX) back in 2006.  It is a personal favorite that has seen rare reappearances at the Deschutes pubs  and at special tasting events. I'm really excited that I'm going to have  an opportunity to stock up on another release of it and do a vertical with one  of my few remaining bottles.   Mirror Mirror wax dipping It's been a long while since I've cracked  one, so it should be interesting]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Thankfully Deschutes Brewery has finally said that Red Chair IPA will be bottled as a Bond Street release.  This has been a huge local&#8217;s favorite through its development and testing here at the Bend pub.  I have been hearing for a while that it was going to be bottled, but I couldn&#8217;t get anyone [...]]]></description>
