Scratch Oktoberfest 2019: September 28th
Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 28th for our annual Oktoberfest celebration at Scratch! As in years past we will have steins by local ceramicists, an array of German-inspired beers made with a local twist, and a special menu of food, this year made by our friends at the Underground Public House in Carbondale.
We will also be releasing our cellared fest bier, a beer we make in March and lager until October, that is crisp and easy drinking and great to enjoy with friends on a fall day in our half liter steins! For the last few years we have made this beer with Pilsner, Vienna, and Munich malts from Sugar Creek Malt, and Illinois-grown hops, and this year we also fermented it with our house culture at lager temperatures, which gives it a different kind of finish reminiscent of a French-style biere de garde. This is the first time we've made a lagered beer with our culture and it was a fascinating experiment in introducing one more component of Southern Illinois terroir to a classic German-style beer.
We will not be pre-selling tickets for this event, just show up and buy either a stein or a glass and enjoy full pours of any of our beers all day long. Our half liter steins are $45 and include a fill. 16 oz glassware is $10 and includes a fill. Soda tickets are also available for $5 and include a mason jar and unlimited soda all day. Beer glasses may also be filled with soda all day for free. The food and beer menus will be posted in the next couple of weeks! We're looking forward to some great special food from the Underground.

Nativefier is a really interesting solution for people who want to turn web applications into desktop applications without having to build everything from scratch. I like how this approach can make frequently used web tools feel more accessible and convenient on a computer. The explanation here makes the concept easy to understand, especially for users who may not have extensive desktop development experience.
For general photo improvements, like enhancing detail and tone, Pixel Clarity Studio is a good option to consider. It's useful for various types of images, from personal snaps to product shots.
This was a helpful resource for understanding han1meviewer. I now have a better idea of why someone might choose a dedicated client.
The N64 had plenty of games that rewarded experimentation and exploration. That design philosophy still works today. I enjoyed reading this article and thinking about how an n64 emulator could help players rediscover those older adventures.
The features associated with PK3DS seem really useful for experienced users and beginners alike.
