What beer are you drinking now? #252

Love that Thistle glas!

Just got off work



Sculpin time. Cheers pilgrims.

 

Well, it is officially my birthday now. Tour de Surly courtesy of Steve_Oldrati, thanks Steve!



A little entertainment for the kids

 

Ah, the classic Pliny v. Heady v. olive oil matchup.
Who won BTW?

 

*phew*. I have some of that in my cellar also, thank goodness I marked our door with lambs blood so you drove by our house and I wouldn't be owned too! (We'll see how many people get that one.) j/k ... Can't insert any faces since I'm on the iCoaster right now.

 

I know this is going to make me sound like a douche bag, but I actually drain poured the f'ing Pliny. This is the second night in a row I followed up a Heady with a ipa/iipa (last night was descender) that I know I love and just couldn't believe how it became a chore to drink them. I recently bottled a batch of my home brew soley in re-used Pliny bottles I drink it so much. When I get back from vacation in a week I am going to try the same thing but in reverse order and do the Pliny first.

 

Happy birthday from Minnesota! If you really want to get into the spirit, drink that Surly and tune in online to the greatest radio show Minnesota has. KFAI The Root of ALL Evil!

 

Great birthday present., Happy bday!

 

Nightcap and then I'll try to stay awake while I watch Game of Thrones with my wife. G'night!

 

It sounds too close to "sphygmoid" and that's an overly unpleasant thought for all of us...good gawd, just call a blood pressure cuff what it is. (What? It's not a Welch Allyn like everyone else buys?!?!! *gasp*!!!!) -HA!

 

and at $8.49 per bottle V.A.S is so hard to beat!

 

New Foals took a few plays to grow on me but is pretty awesome. Diggin it.

 

I know I speak for at least a few Washingtonians when I say, next time you feel the urge to drainpour a Pliny, shoot one of us a quick BM and we'll gladly provide you with an address where you can send it for disposal instead.

 

Thanks! Surly is all gone now

 

Don't get me wrong, I have always really enjoyed Pliny. I think I am just not good with the back-to-back tasting thing. On a side note, I do have a fairly decent line on PtE bottles. If you are in Southern Washington and want to set up an IP trade.

 

Finished the growler of Simtra, grabbed an Anchor California Lager for a nightcap. Not too shabby. Looking forward to my Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA tomorrow while watching Spain v. Brazil!

 

It was like 85 degrees today, which is hot for Seattle, so I decided this sounded good



Stouts are always good no matter how hot it is.

 

You live in AZ....ahhhh, but it's a "dry heat" though. (J/k!!!)

 

Mmmmm.....Simtra....I've been dreaming about that beer since I had it a couple months age in the Bay.
