This song is the one true biography of the mosh pit.

 

That looks AWESOME!

 

Time for lunch and a brew..

 

When u grow up in NYC, regardless of religion, you better know the Sunday tradition of bagel & a schmear. Delicious...both cheers

 

Samuel Smith was THE late 90's "you earned it" craft beer, while in college. A new CD and a Samuel Smith was all I needed disposable income for.

 

Same. Last time I went to see Spence it went 1 round so I'm just pumped to see a great scrap. Would love to see Mikey pull off a decision, though. Cheers!

 

Haha, I’m right there with you on that. Sammy Smith was $4 a bottle, that was so expensive back then.

 

Fair States Brewing Big Doinks - Cheers !

 

a tasty one from The Alchemist

I raided the King's stash - I grabbed these up for a friend of mine that drinks nothing
but Bud Light - and I'm enjoying this Lawson's offering whilst unloading my prop kit -

4 x 4-rated Beers of the month
St Kitts Coffee & French Coffee (similar marks) | Carton
4.49/5 rDev +1.6%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Thrilled to buy (and review as among the first) this at brewers tonight. It looks as good as it tastes.
a) Dark, grand marnier body that throws up a good lace and a ring of last.
s) Crazy strong brandy, http://www.grand-marnier.com/ nose and taste. So happy the coconut not overone (as it is over at (Death by... Oskars)
t) Amazing that beer is so brandy-like with essence and distillation of orange-brandy with hint of coconut.
f) Smooth sipper, long in the draw. totally worth the price. Sip, meditate, simmer. Totally let it resolve to cask temp!
o) Hard to discern between French and St Kitts the best of the coffee series? St Kitts by a husk of a tiny margin.
The Hook | Carton
4.15/5 rDev +1%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Thrilled to be first reviewer of the HOOK. Happy name for our community as it lays inside the bayward curve of Sandy Hook that separates our bay shores from the Atlantic, and over which we see Manhattan gliding silver, golden, or gray - depending on the time of day.
A) This beer slams forward with fruit in the late hopped NE pale style. Hazed bomb with puffy white lacing and lasting head.
S) Fruit I wanted to dive in. Hop fresh barrel.
T) Hop fruit wheat treat.
F) Slick, finishes clean and bitey.
O) One of the best contemporary NE style late hopped fruit pale ales ever.
Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen | Binding-Brauerei
4.09/5 rDev +12.1%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
In Berlin 2019, this was the best Hefe I've ever tasted. 500ml bottle,
a) How could you not high mark this hazed, amber body that mounts a massive head that rises/puffs the best height, then lashes and laces the glass all the way down?
s) Or the fresh fruit, lemony, banana bread, flower closet, herbal aromas?
t) Or the fruity, lemony, banana bread box, yeast, spice, pepper, flavors all tempered by a chalky, soft earthy dryness?
f) Finished by chalky, aspirin, powdery, dry finish?
o) Perhaps it must be enjoyed fresh - I suspect so - based on the rating divergence.

 

I'm in the middle of fitting fenders on a new bike which is simple but fiddly and harder than it needs to be. I do enough riding in the rain for it to pay off eventually. Official is pretty good, but won't replace Two-Hearted .
