There really is no such thing as "fall" in Arizona. Really, there is just a brief 2 week period where it's no longer 110 degrees, but not quite 40 degrees. It essentially skips the delightful, mid-50s, leaf-changing colors season. Aaron's favorite part of fall is (surprise, surprise) the beer. Pumpkin beers, mostly.
So that's what his next beer is going to be, in an attempt to make Kingman, AZ into a "fall-ish" location. A Pumpkin Amber Ale where we will probably add in more cinnamon and nutmeg.
He brewed it a few weekends ago. Our house smelled like beer for approximately 24 hours. It smelled delicious!
I mostly slept through the whole thing... we had been hiking that morning and I was sleepy. And my fabulous husband let me sleep while he toiled away at the stove (mostly, it consists of watching it boil while you time the hops correctly and then watching it cool until the thermometer reads the right temperature for yeast).
Also, we may have to drink this beer very quickly, as we will probably be moving to VA just a few weeks after it's ready. Good timing, right? Hopefully our friends like it and can clear it out at our going-away cookout!
