Batch #174 - Belgian Abbey Ale - September 2017

This ale was labeled to celebrate "after the rain dance", the morning after March and Kyle's wedding.  While we cleaned up the grounds after late night dancing under the big tent, DJ'd by our Masterful nephew Sam Kisaka, someone stacked some of the many umbrellas used during the deluge the night before, out to dry in the morning sun.  The actual band hired to facilitate the dancing by the swimming pool, was rained out during their encore song, so may of these umbrellas were used to shield their equipment while we helped them pack it up.  Meanwhile, Sam plugged his phone into the PA system, inside the dinner tent, and kicked the evening back into dancetime, for another 3 hours.  I think the bartenders weren't too happy that their services were still needed, but the party went on into the wee hours.
