Coppertop Brewing

I had a busy day today. It was animal blessing day at church and I was one of the blessors. I always enjoy seeing so many people who really care about their pets, and so many different kinds of dogs. There are usually a few cats, but I'm not a cat person. The largest dog today was an English Mastiff weighing 205 pounds (91 kilos).

After church I went home for a quick visit so that C and the dogs wouldn't forget about me, then went to Boundary Bay for a Washington Beer Lovers (WABL) event. I was surprised by the number of WABL members who had traveled up from the Seattle area. I met some very nice people, including this young Bellingham couple, Brandon and Robin, whose ambition is to start their own brewery. They've already chosen a name and a logo -- you can see it on Robin's t-shirt.

Brandon is busy learning how to brew at home. Naturally, I volunteered my services as a taster. It's the least I can do to help. If his brewing skill and business acumen are on a par with his enthusiasm, Coppertop Brewing will be a roaring success. Remember you read about it here first!

P.S. In case you didn't already guess, the brewery name was inspired by the color of Brandon's hair.
