I am pleased to announce the birth of our new assistant brewer. Leila "Nugget" Jo Reid was born on the 27th of September at 5:12am in an attempt to make it to the ABR later that day, little did she know she was to young and had no ticket. She was 6lb 4.6oz, almost half the weight of the grain bill of her commemorative beer, a wild rice amber ale with centennial and simco, and 20.4in long. Jamie and Leila are doing great. She was born drug free and alnatural, but had an ABO reaction and spent the second 24 hours of her life in a light box to bring down her bilirubin count. We're home and happy now and lovin life. -- Seth Reid
