holy crap! people do actually follow this...or are just being nice and giving me a 'like' and quickly putting me on ignore. either way, THANK YOU! it feels like a big milestone, and feels like a lot of hard work with me spamming to everyone to like my page, and trying to slip it into conversation to people who are interested in brewing. in any case, i do hope at least some people out there get some enjoyment from it. it makes me happy, so that's 1 of us at the very least.
a big thank you has to go to my absolutely beautiful, supportive, strong, smart, kind, forgiving (for all my idiocy!), and incredibly talented wife Jenna. she really lets me get away with the beer equivalent of murder (letting me buy bigger and better things like my AWESOME KEGERATOR) and tries her hardest to understand my rantings and ravings about all things beer. she is without a doubt, the greatest thing to have ever happened to me and i always slap myself in complete awe at my luck at being with her every day. lots of love baby. without you, sexyfuntime wouldn't be here.
a big thank you to everyone who asks me "how are your beers going?" and then gets a 30 minute-long detailed explanation back in response, while no doubt thinking of how you could possibly 'un-ask' a question. to my good friends, and fellow brewers who enjoy my beers, and give constructive and honest feedback about them also, thank you. there are still so many close friends i'm dying to share my beers with so i will endeavour to get them out into your hands in coming months. if you really want one, don't be afraid to hassle me. i enjoy it! it keeps me on my toes too and gives me a lovely ego-boost too haha. just always promise you'll hold nothing back with your feedback. i don't want niceties if you don't enjoy them; i want to know why, and what flavours you didn't like or did, and what you feel could be improved or added to (even if you don't talk beer nerd). there are a few people who honestly really enjoy them and have been big supports; thanks to martin, byron, bigredcap, rob and luke, luke and peter, wilsy, and gaz and gary. i'm sure there are more i've left out, but thank you all of you for your kind words and support.
additionally, there are a few from the fletcher family who are often pretty keen to test my beers out (particularly mum and jamesie). you guys know how much of a passion it is of mine and it's great to have that excitement encourage me. thank you! thanks also goes to the american family and friends who always like my crappy posts and talk beer with me when we visit; - thanks Maryann, Andy, Patti, Nick, Drew, Mike, all Jenna's cousins, and all her AWESOME friends (way too many to name but you know i love you guys!).
to my boss at work Sam, thanks for all your help and assistance with my beers, and allowing me a greater avenue through which to have them brewed and enjoyed by more people. the shop is a great little place and my heart is definitely in keeping it rocking and rolling, ever onwards and upwards. i look forward to what next year (particularly the end of next year) will bring. talking beer-nerdy with you and hearing your ideas always inspires me to do better; absolutely dig it. thanks mate. thanks also to Leesa (who i'm sure also let's Sam get away with beer technology murder haha). i love your positive aura and ideas for the shop, and what the future has for the business!
to baxter, my little assistant brewer, i love you you cheeky ratbag. keep on being the best dog ever. he's also the biggest sexyfuntime brewing fan. he's never turned down a beer i've given him (only allowed a very tiny splash from the end of my finger though) and is always who i go to first because he's completely honest. if he thinks something tastes shit, he turns away instantly. if he loves it, he basically licks the living crap out of my finger.
at the end of the day, i'm just ranting about my beers. i look forward to where this big adventure will take me and i'm excited to have 300 likes which shows me, even in a small way, that others take some small measure of interest in it too. even if you don't, and you've read this whole thing thinking, 'shit fletch, it's not like you've won anything you moron!...it's a website for christ's sake' then thanks for reading it anyway :)
i'll post a big update soon about my two beers smashing it up on my new kegerator, and post about my upcoming brews. very very very excited for the end of this year. lots of big things planned.
