Day 1 of reorganizing is in the books

Phin and I got back to the apartment yesterday.  That meant that it was time to (try to) reorganize the wall and add in the bottles we collected over break.

When you consider that I had an accident that made my break last longer than others and that my dad and I decided that a couple beers a night was healthier than taking narcotics, it goes without saying that I came back with a pretty nice haul.  Phin and I decided that if we're going to do this, we might as well do it right: we've been cataloging and taking pictures of every bottle in the collection before we placed them either under the sink or onto The Wall. 

It's taken longer than we expected.  Through one whole day of work, we managed to pick out the bottles that we had no desire to put on display, pick out the ones that were definitely going on display, and take pictures and document them all.  Right before going to bed, we picked out most of the "bubble" bottles that are going to make the cut until we find some better stuff. 

Today, we have to document and take pictures of the "bubble" bottles that we didn't record yesterday.  considering there are about 70 of them, the work is really not all that close to being done.

After that, you can expect to start seeing profiles of all the bottles in our collection, as well as a better looking blog that has pictures and a background photo that actually makes sense.  With all three roommates back in the apartment, you can also expect to see the other two start blogging sometime in the near future (...I hope).

New additions to The Wall--1/3 to 1/9

Here are the beers that have been added to the list this week:

Capital Brewery
Maibock

Goose Island
Demolition
 
Lakefront Brewery
Big Easy Imperial Maibock

This week, I pretty much stuck to a few beers I know I like.

Expect a crazy list once Phin gets back from his band's concert in Chicago.  I can't wait to get back to Milwaukee.  We're going to be adding at least 30 beers to the wall.

Have you tried any of the beers we're adding to The Wall this week? Let us know what you thought about them in the comments!
