I've been crafting beers for 2 years now and I want this to be a fun site letting friends and family know what's going on at the brewery. An Albatross is a bird and another term for a double eagle in golf, so that's where the name came from. A lot of the beer names are golf inspired. It will also be a place to rant about sports, politics, and anything else that spews out of my mouth (or keyboard).Harry Hoodnoreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055199497893149726.post-65335192293636893332009-05-26T11:58:00.000-07:002009-05-26T12:00:38.949-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bF69HDqR_Bg/Shw8TXRDS6I/AAAAAAAAE3g/U-G0C4TbhDM/s1600-h/claret+jug.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bF69HDqR_Bg/Shw8TXRDS6I/AAAAAAAAE3g/U-G0C4TbhDM/s320/claret+jug.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340209561515281314" /></a><br />The 2009 Open Championship will be held July 16-19 at The Alisa Course at Turnberry in Britain. I'm going to be brewing a beer for the tournament sometime in the next week and I'm looking for suggestions on style and name.<br /><br />I'm obviously going to be brewing an English style beer.

I'm hoping this will be a fun place to talk about my brewing and discuss beer and sports in general. The name of the brewery comes from my other obsessive hobby which is of course golf.<br /><br />An Albatross is a bird and another term for a double eagle in golf, so that's where the name came from. <br /><br />I brew everything from Stouts to Blondes to weird specialty beers. I'm always looking for cool suggestions on beer names and labels. Feel free to post recipes as well.<br /><br />Please check back from time to time to see updates. I'm going to update as much as I can and if anyone wants to be an author on this blog which means you can create your own blog posts, just let me know and I'll add you as an author.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4055199497893149726-8152119815465821189?l=albatrossbrewing.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Harry Hoodnoreply@blogger.com0
