It's really good to hear from you, fellah. You've been in our thoughts a lot, I'm sure. I think your Athena ran off with my Ol' Stormy, and are now happily begetting little laptops and calculators. The new Stormy is OK, but refuses to allow any of the MM's to be installed. (Ditto my other faves, the Civs.)
The Pier Pilsner is a departure from my usual ales, as I've never experimented with bottom-fermenting yeasts before. Hope you like it!
Oh, and I haven't forgetten everyone else, either. GP gets the first keg, of course, but there are several more kegs for the rest of the Taverners. So Bones, Chlala, please round up enough glasses for everybody, and don't forget to have a few yourselves. Drink up, everyone, the Prodigal Son has returned! (Like a bad penny?)
