*Anne sits curled in a booth... almost asleep. She'd come to get out of the house for a few and help out... but yay for being preggers*

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 12:25:32 PM)
*Aden is curled against her side, patting her belly and talking to it mischieviously*

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:27:04 PM)
*Quinn enters the pub carrying a large brown box. She's dressed in a t-shirt and dark wash jeans paired with old, worn brown cowboy boots. Her near waist-length brown hair has been pulled up into a messy bun. She steps towards the bar and sets thebox down, looking around for Mark*

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:27:23 PM)
*the pub sat along the side of the road, it wasnt a major road but that just added to the aumbiance, the building was white, old, a sign on the outside advertised the Pub, a stag with the name super imposed on it, gravel parking lot, stepping inside, the lighting was a bit dim, the music playing was destinctily irish, the bar smells of the fire place and beer, the walls were a dark wood color, various irish memorability hangng on them, a small stage with a sound system, the place had that old feeling but also it was quaint at the same time, the bar ran along the backwall, stairs going up, next to them.*

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:27:37 PM)
*mark stood behind the bar, wiping it down.*

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:29:18 PM)
*mark looks over* good morning Quinn. how are you today?

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:29:28 PM)
Morning, Mark. I'm good! How are you?

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:30:40 PM)
I'm good too. *nods toward anne* thats annelise adler, mate of the fenrir scratchy mcphearson, and the boy is my son.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:31:09 PM)
*She glances in the direction of Anneliese and the boy and grins to them both, saluting* Nice to meet you, Ms. Adler.

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 12:31:19 PM)
*she takes a deep breath as the talking wakes her up. She blushes and smiels* Hi. *she waves*

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:31:43 PM)
*looking to the box* and what is this?

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:34:52 PM)
Oh this? This is for you. *She opens the box and pulls out some bottles* Few bottles of the stuff I just brewed up. I'm sticking to APAs, Pale Ales, Pilsners and Stouts for now. But this one ... *She pulls out two bottles* These are my ginger beer. It's pretty much my favourite beer at the moment.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:35:22 PM)
(APA is pale ale)

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:35:54 PM)
(APA is an American Style India Pale Ale, the hop loading is different.)

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:36:17 PM)
*he smiles to that, albeit a bit cold but he does* outstanding... I will have to make sure to sample them* (ah IPA as we americans call it :P)

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 12:37:01 PM)
*she smiles as she watches and listens, pulling Aden into her lap*

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:37:20 PM)
(Depends, some people in the beer community, particularly in California and Washington are starting to call them APAs because they're nothing like traditional British India Pale Ales. British IPAs are closer to regular Pale Ales in that they are more malty and not so hoppy)

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:37:56 PM)
( ah see i live on the other coast ...)

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:38:11 PM)
(I live in Toronto :) I am just a silly beer geek >.<)

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:38:40 PM)
(hehe)

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:39:09 PM)
Awesome. Probably best to do that one at room temperature or close to. *She points to the bottles of APA* Otherwise all you'll get is bitterness. *She shrugged a bit* Is everything okay?

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:40:05 PM)
i drink all my beer at room temp. *he nods* yes.. anne and aden are just hanging out, we do not have any farm work this morning.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:40:36 PM)
( afk for about 10, running up the street to get a sandwich i ordered)

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:40:46 PM)
*She nodded and eased up onto one of the bar stools, putting all the bottles back in the box*

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 12:41:31 PM)
And we're taking advantage because soon we'll have a lot of work. The barley is almost ripe. Just another few weeks.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:41:55 PM)
You guys grow barley?

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 12:42:44 PM)
*she nods* And sugarcane.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:43:17 PM)
Amazing. What do you do with it, sell it, or ..?

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 12:44:33 PM)
Mostly sell it. Mark uses some of it to brew.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:45:12 PM)
*She nods* I've done that a few times. Malt my own barley. It's time consuming.

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 12:48:07 PM)
Yes, it is. There's another brewer that does it as well. He's buying the majority of it.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:48:23 PM)
Makes sense.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:48:43 PM)
*he listend to the two of them talk.*

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:48:58 PM)
*She glanced to Mark* You didn't tell me you brewed as well.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:50:18 PM)
*taps his head* been hit by one too many bale fires.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:50:48 PM)
*She nodded* Well, I don't want to compete with you for sure.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:51:09 PM)
*shrugs* its all good with me.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:51:24 PM)
or we can find a way to work together

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:52:25 PM)
That could work. Most of my experience is in in Pilsners, but I've practised ales too. I think maybe my favourite new style are Cascadian IPAs. I'm working on one now that I hope should be ready in a month or so.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:52:36 PM)
sounds good.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:52:43 PM)
*walking over to them to sit down*

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:52:52 PM)
What sort of beers do you usually like?

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 12:53:42 PM)
*Aden slithers his way out of Anne's arms and under the table, coming up to try to crawl into Mark's lap*

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:53:44 PM)
stouts and porters.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:54:00 PM)
*without even looking mark automatically helps his son into his lap*

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:54:23 PM)
Sorry, Anneliese, I do talk about other things besides beer. *She grins a bit* ...Just not often.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 12:57:33 PM)
we talk about beer alot also, its all good.

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 12:57:41 PM)
*she chuckles* I'm used to it, it's just fine. So, are you from New Orleans?

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 12:58:17 PM)
No ... *She shakes her head* I moved here a bit ago from Boston.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 1:00:52 PM)
been to boston a few times.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 1:02:06 PM)
It's kinda nuts there. I spent all my summers in Prague with my grandfather.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 1:03:37 PM)
i'm from cork ireland myself.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 1:04:17 PM)
I've been there. *She grinned* Briefly, anyway. It's beautiful country.

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 1:04:36 PM)
*she chuckles* So none of us are local.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 1:04:37 PM)
indeed

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 1:04:52 PM)
Where are you from, Anneliese?

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 1:07:43 PM)
Indiana.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 1:07:52 PM)
...I've never been there.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 1:09:39 PM)
drove through it

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 1:09:58 PM)
What is it like there? It's farmland, right?

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 1:11:27 PM)
A lot of it, yes.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 1:13:28 PM)
So you have experience farming, or did you do something else?

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 1:16:16 PM)
anne is great at it.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 1:16:44 PM)
*Quinn nods*

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 1:18:46 PM)
*she blushes a little* My family farmed... her brows furrow slightly.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 1:20:33 PM)
my mom did.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 1:23:02 PM)
Do you like it?

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 1:26:11 PM)
*she nods with a bit of a smile* Yeah, I do. It's hard work, but I feel like I belong, like i'm close to the land.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 1:36:19 PM)
yeah end of the day, its all over us.

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 1:40:08 PM)
*she laughs at that* I know... *Aden looks up at him with a grin* Uh uh... Mommy gets clean before we take a nap... well, most of the time.

Quinn Riley (Jul 29, 2011 1:42:32 PM)
(sorry, phone)

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 1:47:09 PM)
*mark smiled good naturedly* indeed aden

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 1:49:56 PM)
*she blushes again and rubs her rounded belly*

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 1:53:40 PM)
soon she wont be able to at all.

Anneliese Adler (Jul 29, 2011 1:56:29 PM)
*she blushes again* Don't say that. I've still got like 2 months for that.

Mark OMalley (Jul 29, 2011 2:10:13 PM)
