It has felt pretty good this last week and a half to take a break from posting here and honestly I do not know what my posting schedule will be going forward.  There is a very good reason for that uncertainty on my part.

Today I will work my final shift at Redlight Redlight.  When I left my architecture office job almost 2.5 years ago now I felt pretty good about it because I did not love what I did.  I very much liked the people I worked with (for the most part), but the job was killing me on the inside.  Leaving Redlight and turning my keys in tonight will be a bummer in that moment because I not only like the people I work with, but I have enjoyed the job (for the most part) over the last 1.5 years or so.

It was certainly physically demanding, but it was also a lot of fun.  I met so many great people and have made some new friends along the way that I am very grateful for.  For many reasons I owe Brent and Teege a lot for taking a chance on me when they first hired me and I think they are glad that they took that chance.

With all of that said, today is also very exciting because after my shift is over I will be able to turn my mind to my new job as the Central Florida Marketing Representative for Cigar City Brewing!  I am extremely grateful for the opportunity and I would be stupid not to admit that my experience at Redlight Redlight had a lot to do with me getting it.  I am really anxious to get started.

So now that I have announced my new job that should explain a little bit of my uncertainty about my posting schedule going forward.  Until I get going I am not exactly sure of what my day to day schedule will be.  On top of that I want to be appropriate with what I write about here.  For example, since I don’t want to be reviewing Cigar City beers, I am not sure how much I want to be reviewing any other beers.  Maybe I will just go toward posting less frequently and do more educational entries.  Until I get going with my new job and figure that out you will probably not hear much from me in this forum.

For now I am going to enjoy pouring my last few pints tonight and then will very much enjoy a long weekend.

Cheers!

 

Even before seeing what The Wife posted this morning I planned to pass up the standard beer news format for Thursday to highlight the news that is most important to me personally.  Well that news and a mention of shovels finally hitting dirt in Ithaca.  That I find interesting as well after seeing the plans hanging on the wall when we visited a few months ago.

Getting back to the point of this post, does everyone remember this?

Fermented PromoWell the full pilot is now up and ready for some feedback.  After premiering it at Redlight Redlight earlier this week it is time to keep spreading the word to see what you all think about it.  There are a some rough edges and we have some tweaking to do as we move forward with future episodes, but I think it was a really good first effort and especially so for a few guys not used to being on that side of the camera.  Many thanks to all of the people who held our hand through the process that day and who worked so hard in helping us to get this far. So the video for the full pilot episode is below.  If you like it, do not like it, have suggestions, or whatever else please take the time to head over to the show page at iZonOrlando to make your thoughts known.  It will only help us make the show even better. Enjoy! Fermented Pilot v2

 

After calling out my frequent contributors last week they stepped up with some good articles for today.  I am sure that they did not do it for that reason, but I will pretend that The Wife and Seattle Jeff felt bad about it for at least a moment.

Lots of good stuff today . . .
