What beer are you drinking now? #210

Onto Crosby, Stills Nash and young. Almost makes me wanna drink some Labatts or La Fin du Monde in their Canadian honor.

 

Starr Hill Little Red Rooster while watching a Castle rerun.

 

Yes I know I will probably be called a hipster for this. I don't care, one of the best songs I have ever heard...


"How strange it is to be anything at all"

Anyway, just finished a Saint Arnold Divine Reserve 13. Still one of the best new beers I have had from any brewery this year.

 

Slight change of plans. Started with Alpine Ale and now I'm on the Hoplar. really like this one. Slightly similar to Pliney, lil' more subtle on the hops, but the poplar really brings another dimension to this one...and the lacing- Yes!

 

Hahaha... ok, all that! (Except I don't have facial hair, silly!)

 

num nums!

 

Bullshit penalty - causing a 5-3 (in OT) dooms the Kings. So, fuck it:

 

What's the sauce in the frying pan? I'm hungry just looking at it, yet I have no f*^&ing clue what it is.

 

Some ignorant shits might prejudge you as a hipster for your avatar...but I won't...that stuff is righteous.

 

Drinking a local tonight.

 

Okie - Prairie Artisan Ales



bourbon backed by molasses, hint of anise and bittersweet dark roasted chocolate
the alcohol is a deserving flavor component, strong and pungent but not solvent, a welcoming warmth
the brewers have again demonstrated a competence that is exciting
cheers

You do know only Young is Canadian. Crosby and Stills are American, and Nash is English.

 

Drinking:
La Fin Du Monde

Listening:

 

My avatar changes between Sketches of Spain, Kind of Blue, and Steamin. I have been listening to Miles Davis since I was 5. He is part of me now. If it is possible for an artist to dissolve their essence into someone else just by listening and playing everything possible from said artist (though I am a very POOR trumpet player), then that someone is me.

Anyway, finishing up some High West Whiskey "Rendezvous," an excellent rye, and I am done for the night.

 

hoptimum is excellent beer and led zeppelin is great music. had a latitude 48 with mosaic hops, a 2010 avery czar ris and you make a hoptimum look mighty tasty for the end of night run

 

And yes, that might make me a hipster.

I had a bottle of Green Flash Saison Diego. Had it twice on tap already, but this one was from the bottle. Good, but I won't be seeking it out again: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2743/79767/?ba=fmccormi

Was anyone else expecting a light more character from this one?

 

So far:

Full Sail Phil's Existential Alt

 

split this one with the wife this evening

 

too many BMCs with friends at our Parish Picnic but now home enjoying a North Coast Old Rasputin...probably will have a Tank 7 to cap off the day, which has been a great one -- my son's 9th birthday!!
