Beer Gifts
From time to time I give SheppyBrew Beer for gifts. Quite often I forget what I gave them. So, starting with Lori E, I am going to keep track here.
Lori ( 01/07/2011 ):
I work with Lori. She asked me to give her all my "girly" beers for her birthday. I don't currently have a bunch. Her husband told me he likes stouts, so I decided to include a Tweedle Beetle Imperial Stout.
Feedback:
Lori liked the beers she tried.
Tim like the Imperial Stout. Liked the flavor of the Bluefield, but got some floaties that he had to get around.
FHS (04/08/2011) :
Finally brought in Stouticus to share with the company. There are 25 employees (other than me) and I was only willing to share 40 bottles, so I also brought in 10 WWW.
Feedback:
Woody: "Outstouting" ... "Had my first Stouticus tonight. I couldn't wait. It was a really great beer. I think Eric has a future after software."
Kyle: "I just sampled my first bottle of Stouticus, and I must say, molto bene, Mr. Shepard. Excellent."
Had a long conversation with David B. Seems to prefer Guinness, but thinks it stacks up very favorably with other American Stouts he has had. Seemed ok with WWW, thought it was close to Blue Moon, but not quite the same.
Travis said "I thought Stouticus was fantastic!". He did grab another couple of bottles, so maybe he did actually like it.
Beth (in what seemed like a surprised voice to me) "That beer was fantastic" and "I don't usually like Stouts, but I thought those were both outstanding."
Jay really liked it as well. Not a huge stout drinker but felt this was one he could drink and enjoy several of in one session. He also seemed a bit surprised that he liked it as much as he did.
Dave H. said he enjoyed them. Wondered if the beer was "real strong" (ABV). I had to tell him he is just a wimp.
Paul: "That beer was pretty good!" (also seemed a bit surprised)
Tim: "Stouticus is AWESOME!!"
Kari: "Oh my gosh! I really liked it. It was great. And my husband liked it. He's a much better judge of beer than I am!"
Thankyou Stouticus (11/3/2011)
Stouticus American Stout Brewed 9/25 Bottled 10/16 ... Gave a 6-pack each to Dave B, Danika, and Woody as a thankyou for donating to the 2nd Wind Fund.
Gave 2 to Mike (donated bottles) and 2 to Travis (gave away 2 of his last batch to TU guys).
Thankyou Hoptoberfest (11/8/2011)
HopToberfest (sort of) Vienna Lager Brewed 10/9 Bottled 10/22 ... Gave a 6-pack each to Dave B, and Woody as a thankyou for donating to the 2nd Wind Fund.
NOTE: Woody gave some away to others.
Feedback:
Woody apparently gave a bottle to Adam. Adam said it was "pretty good".
Pastor Chad (11/20/2011)
Pastor Chad is the one who is the "team leader" for our church's involvement with 2nd wind fund. I decided to let him try the beers that I used to bribe my co-workers with.

Feedback:
Chad said he did like the beer, but it was a little more "Stout" than he was sort of used to. He wondered if I could make an apricot wheat. I told him I'd see what I could do.
Gretchen (11/20/2011)
Gave 10 bottles of Free the Glutens! APA . Hoping that she really likes it.
Feedback:
On my facebook page: "I'm happy to be a friend of the Sheppy Brew house. Free The Glutens APA. Delicious. Thx!"
Later on my facebook page: "I have a way for you to get rich....or just make a good friend happy! Make more of the gluten free beer you made for me! So so good....honestly better than what's out on the market. You could make a killing....or just sell your recipe to New Planet. I can connect you with the owners! In the meantime....will you PLEASE brew me another batch?! I've been savoring it and I'm on my last bottle."
