In a post last summer, I talked about a pleasant afternoon brewing beer with my buddy DeWayne. While we had a few mishaps that day, overall the process went pretty smoothly. I've now gone through the whole process of brewing, secondary fermentation, bottling and......waiting.

About a month ago, I couldn't take it anymore and I opened a bottle, gave it the sniff test, and poured myself a great big beautiful looking glass of NOT-READY-YET. A bit disappointing, but this is a waiting game and I'm in it for the long haul.

So, as I said, it's been another month and I gave it another try. While the beer definitely needs a bit more time, it's actually quite drinkable and even Joanna gave it good marks. That after she'd already had half a Boddingtons, arguably one of the best beers on planet Earth.

So Burnt Muslin Brown Ale will never be among even the Worlds Most Mediocre Beers, but it's already better than some I've drank before.

Hey that's an interesting idea, if anyone actually reads this, could you post a comment on what you think is the Worlds Most Mediocre Beer. Not the best, not the worst; the drink it if you have too beer. No prize will be awarded, aside from the glowing admiration of the vast thompson-yezek.com reader community.
