Movember is the month formerly known as November, where men and women across the globe join together to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. Men grow a Mo (moustache) for 30 days to become a walking, talking billboards, for our men’s health causes – specifically cancers affecting men.

Men who support Movember, called Mo Bros, start by registering at Movember.com. Mo Bros start Movember 1st clean-shaven, then grow and groom their Mo, for the rest of the month, raising money along the way. Women who support Movember, called Mo Sistas, also start by registering at Movember.com. Mo Sistas champion the Mo by supporting their Mo Bros, organizing events, leading a team and spreading the important message of men’s health.

I went ahead and signed up for a Movember account. You can donate to my account by using the link below. It’s for a good cause so please feel free to donate today.

Thought I’ll never know what I may have missed out on had I moved up there, I’m completely happy that I stayed as I’ve got an amazing girlfriend, awesome job and perfect family. It’s been 5 months since I started my job at Stone Brewing Co. I have no complaints about it and love every minute I’ve spent with em so far. I love Lauren more and more every day. It’s great seeing my niece grow so fast and seeing her experience and do things she’s never done before. It’s coming into my favorite time of year and I can’t wait to spend the holiday season with Lauren.

Just figured I’d do an update as it’s been a while.

So, as you all know I love beer. Well, I went and got me a dream job working for none other than Stone Brewing Co. out of Escondido. I’ve been there for about a month now and I’ve loved every minute of it. Started out getting trained at the brewery for a couple weeks working in the Company Store filling growlers and selling merch. All of this was in preparation for the opening of a new satellite store located in the South Park community of San Diego proper. Ever since I first heard about the South Park location I’d wanted to work there. After not getting call backs from a couple other breweries in San Diego I never figured I’d get the job with Stone.

Fast forward to tomorrow and we have the official Grand Opening of the new store. There’s going to be some pretty great beers both at the store and around the South Park area both in bottles and on tap. For a full listing of what’s going on head of to the San Diego Beer Blog. Hope you will come by and check out the store, if not tomorrow then sometime soon, as it’s a pretty relaxed place to talk beer and such. You also can’t beat four 4oz tasters for $5 and you get to keep the glass. ]]> http://www.drewvis.com/2011/06/21/stone-brewing-co/feed/ 2 http://www.drewvis.com/2011/06/05/best-disneyland-promo-video-of-all-time-all-time/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=best-disneyland-promo-video-of-all-time-all-time http://www.drewvis.com/2011/06/05/best-disneyland-promo-video-of-all-time-all-time/#comments Sun, 05 Jun 2011 17:42:39 +0000 Drewvis http://www.drewvis.com/?p=991

Macho Man is our savior.

check out the rest of their commercials. so good.

San Diego loves it’s craft brews. You can tell this by the massive amounts of local micro breweries throughout the county as well as all the restaurants, bars and liquor stores that are bursting at the seams with craft beers. And where do micro breweries start? At home. I’m sure you all know someone, or at least know someone who knows someone, who has brewed beer at home. My brother and I brewed a batch back in January or so of this year and are panning for our second batch. It’s something we’re gonna keep doing it cause we love beer and it’s fairly easy to do.

I’ve been signed up with Groupon since the beginning of the year and there have been some things to come up that sound interesting, but I never purchased one. Today, I wake up and check my email and click on the “Groupon” folder I have set up. Before even clicking on today’s email I got super excited and couldn’t wait to read it because the subject line was “Half Off Introductory Brewing Class for Two.” Even though Jordan and I have only brewed one beer that came out pretty good, we still like to get pointers and see how others brew to see if the already simple process can get ever easier. I forwarded the email to him as soon as I could and almost right away he hits back with, “Let’s do it.” We purchase the Groupon and success, our first ever use of the service was going to be perfecting the art of brewing beer. At 9am when I took the screen grab above there were 276 people who had purchased this deal as well, and 40 minutes later that number had jumped to 375. People LOVE beer and beer coming out of San Diego is some of the best in the US if not the world. Looks like we might be getting some more amazing beers coming our way if even a small fraction of the people who purchased today’s Groupon offer continue on with what they learn in the class and brew beer.
