Chad, originally from just across the river, in Marrero, settled in Talisheek, LA and helped establish what would become White Oaks Manor. Our Master Fermentator, Zymurologist, and straight up nice guy, Chad governs over the vats like an Eagle looking over her young. Only without the regurgitation, because that is not good for beer.
Larry, from deep in the swamps near Morgan City, LA is Talisheeks keeper of wisdom. Carefully documenting our every success and failure, aiding us in achieving true brewing greatness. He is the holder of the Talisheek "Book of Secrets", the book that has been passed down all the way from last week when he printed it off the internet. Or did he? Yeah, he did.
Craig, or Norm, is our quality control technician. Observing operations and ensuring the finished product is worthy of being called Talisheek. Norm taste tests each batch, analyzing its bitterness and carbonation, just another measure Talisheek utilizes to brew a better beer.
(PIC to come)
Jason, or Andre Ballajandre as he is known to his closest of friends, hails from... yes, and yes, there too. He is responsible for this literary debacle, so painstakingly devoting nonsensical words to an endeavor some view as merely beer. Poor souls, says he, "merely" beer? "Your face is merely beer" he would probably say quite contentedly.
Now for the short list of those who are NOT Talisheek.........Ryan Foret. You are not Talisheek.

Just remember, at the end of the day it's still beer. The inside jokes and the clever quirks don't meen anything if the product sucks. They also don't mean anything if the product rules. In other words, a good beer is one that tastes good...and that's all that matters. Don't be a Taligeek.
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid to point out the mistakes you make. No beer is perfect and I want to hear about what is good and bad about each one. And what you plan to do to improve.
Try to brew beers that challenge you even if they aren't your favorites.
And you're right, Ryan Foret is NOT Talisheek. He's Talisweet! Ok, that was Taliweak.
You're right Ryan, the proof is in the beer. You may not be Talisheek, but you are always welcome to help brew the beer and of course drink it. It's all love brother. When I have more time I will detail areas where we can improve, but, to quote one of the best bands ever, "It's getting better all the time." - Yep, that was the Beetles, not sure if you've heard of em.
ReplyDeleteImpressive! You may need a west coast representative to branch your interests out into the great beyond and the pacific ocean.
