I know, it has been nearly two months since I have blogged. I have thought about blogging every day but my list of things that are more important get in the way. I have lots to record so I don’t forget what has happened in my little life 70 years from now…but in the meantime I have to share a proud friend moment:
I am sooooooooooooo thrilled with how much Rachel/Pat have done with The Bruery. I can’t even begin to comprehend all that is involved in starting a brewery, let alone making beer, let alone owning a business, let alone having it take off. But they have and it makes the hairs on my arm stand on end (I kind of have hairy arms and friends in elementary school made fun of me). The Bruery is all over the place and has beers ranked among the ten best in the world according to the highly selective Beer Advocate. I opened a favorite SF foodie newsletter today and what do I see? A feature on The Bruery. Then, I see that chow.com (also a favorite) has featured them as well. Look at this video, you’ll see how special they are:
The beers are good, the people are awesome and I am super super SUPER proud. Three cheers to Pat and Rachel.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
