Batch 19

My buddy Brandon shared an interesting new brew with me recently -- Batch 19 (http://www.batch19.com). It's an American Adjunct Lager. Not my favorite style, but I'm generally open to trying new brews.

I found this beer poured nicely, producing a creamy white foam. It was very clear with a nice golden color.

Aroma was sweet with a bit of malt and a touch of caramel.

I found the taste to be light and crisp with some pronounced hoppiness, though not as citrusy as many hoppy beers (like IPAs that I favor). It had more of a Carbonation was moderate, which I certainly appreciate. The finish was dry, clean and bright.

This will make an excellent summer beer due to its light and refreshing nature.

I think Coors has a hit on their hands with Batch 19.

Scentsy

Last year at the North Suburban Thunder fundraiser auction, Bonnie and I won the bid on a Scentsy basket. It included a warmer, a couple scent blocks, and a couple other goodies. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I have REALLY enjoyed it over the past several months. I had been thinking of buying a couple extra warmers (as I transport our existing warmer from the bedroom to my office to the main floor of the house quite a bit), some extra scents, and something for the car as well.

Bonnie came to me and suggested that she would like to consider signing up for the Scentsy business, if for no other reason than to get some discounts on these wonderful products we've been enjoying.

As I looked at the business materials, I was impressed. I've certainly done MLM before, but this looked very friendly and could support a low-key approach. So I'm announcing that Bonnie and I have started our own Scentsy business. No need to run for the hills. We're not beating the bushes and rapidly scheduling parties and all that. Our kit will be in this week and we'll have lots of great testers to smell and some fun products to share with anyone who is interested. We'll be announcing our launch party very soon as well as setting up an online party. We've got our web site up for those who would like to browse products and order.

If you'd like a physical catalog, would like to see some of the products first-hand, and/or would like to smell some of the great scents, let me know and we can arrange a meet. You can message me here on FB, post a comment here, or e-mail me at scents@wg-family.net).


Cheers!
