Red Dawn

by John Campbell

Yes, Roger is back from vacation, but since he is often accused of being a "commie", I thought I'd jump in for one last post to clear the air and dispel these malicious rumors. Seriously, is the Red Scare still going on? sigh...

While he was away we began to remove the protective coating from our new DME brewing system. Lo and behold what was found below:

Yes, we were shocked. But, wait, there's more...

and it wasn't just the fermenters (the other two had been defaced with repulsive images of Mao and Lenin), the mash tun had been vandalized with Bakunin:

the brew kettle with Trotsky:

and a horrifying image of a bald-faced, clean-cut Dr. Ernest Guevara was glued to the yeast propagator:

Eugene Debs on a bright tank? Who would do such a thing? ...wait a minute... what's that guy doing?

Tony Beard, New Albanian Brewing Co.'s Artist in Residence
OK, I must confess on behalf of the brewery staff (Jesse, Jared, David, and myself), Tony isn't completely responsible. We all conspired to label the tanks without Roger's consent. It was done in his absence and without his knowledge and we are quite proud of ourselves.

Power to the People!

Welcome home, Roger.
