Whoa, we had blog burnout again. Sorry about that. The awesome Beer City Bash just wiped me out, but we’re all cool now. I’ve been Tweeting @bruisinales and lately found myself doing that more than the blog. 140 characters or less is easy! Blogging takes time. It’s like writing a mini-assignment every day, which I’m sure is good for both vocabulary and writing skills, but let’s just say, there’s a greater appreciation for perils of writers’ block over here these days.

So we got our Facebook “Vanity URL:” http://www.facebook.com/bruisinales Took three days, but we got it. Please, if you haven’t already, migrate yourself from the Bruisin’ Ales Group over the Bruisin’ Ales Page, because we’re going to get rid of the Group at the end of this month.

We are in the process of updating the entire Bruisin’ Ales, including an e-comm store. THAT is the part that sucks and is taking so much time. But it’s looking good so far!

Breaking news on Facebook: Reggae Mike & Sarah got engaged on their travels. Congrats, guys! Big love! Hooray!

We were really thinking of firing him for taking three weeks off, but in light of this news, we’ll give him another chance, since he probably has to pay for a ring and stuff.

Aren’t they just adorable? Awwww…

To all the fantastic dads out there, including my father-in-law, Basem, we wish you a very Happy Father’s Day!

(And we’ll just go ahead and wish one to my mom, Sue, who was both my mom and dad. Tough job! Big love!)

We’re getting ready for the big Allagash and cookies tasting today, so here’s some Beastie Boys from the show last week. Enjoy! (via Ashvegas)

Apollo Lives!
We have some very funny, techie friends. We love them dearly, because they make us laugh. We love to laugh. And we love Apollo Creed. Especially his travels. Witness the majesty of Apollo’s visit to the humble storefront. [Image: http://apollocreedtravels.com]

MountainXpress is now a Twaper
In one of the bestest April Fool’s jokes ever, the MountainXpress turned itself into a Twitter paper, or “Twaper,” for the day. And, for those of you who think that’s silly, Editor & Publisher picked-up the story, so there.

Edgy Mama finally trades kids for beer
One of our favorite local writers, Anne-Fitten Glenn, aka “Edgy Mama,” has announced the opening of Edgy Mama Brew Pub. The beer line-up looks amazing, too: Edgy IPA, Parental Angst Porter, Shut It Stout, and Anger Management Amber Ale. Congrats, Edgy! (She is kidding. At least we think so.)

Examiner says beer prevents hangovers
Awesome! We’ve been waiting for news like this.
