hey kelly, how you doin'? i'm on the brit side of your job. met up with some of your guys in turkey when we went out to help out with the pakistan earthquake relief. take care.

I was a guest in your part of tent city many times (probably more than I can remember) while stationed there. I went for a ride in a VC-10 with the RAF and had a good time!

When I went back on a deployment, the fun had died down because the OPSTEMPO was so high. I have great memories of Turkey, except the beer.

Hey, I am from Wichita Falls. Lived there the first 27 years of my life. Now I live in CT. My wife is from VA too. Her dad was the IG at Shepard back in the 80's. I know tons of people there and all the in's and outs of that town. ...the stories I could tell. The first brews I ever did were when I lived over on the end of 10th street (near Stanley's) back in '91.

Brewing is awesome. I have never brewed an all-grain batch (though that's fixin to change) and I brew great beers IMHO. Keep at it and keep listening to the BN.

good old efes?

I got strept throat from drinking Efes when I was stationed at Incirlik as a young Lieutenant. It was a dirty bottle that came directly from the local brewery which was on the main highway to Adana if I remember right. Mmm good (I mean the penicillin).

you do recognise sarcasm then, or was it irony?

[Gucci Pilot]

Efes just ellicited bad memories, my friend.

Ahhh Efes... They make shit beer but GREAT bottle openers!
