Where Are You?
I don’t know about you, but I’m relaxing in low 70 degree weather in OBX, enjoying some tasty brews with the family. Regularly scheduled blogging will continue in a day or two. Hope you’re having as much fun as I am.

Barley Blog Image Suggestions
After the initial launch of this site just last month, I thought it would be interesting to offer up a different masthead image every now and again. The creation of the brewery scene above took some time, but I enjoyed the process thoroughly and can’t wait to tackle a few ideas that I currently have. [...]
