What beer are you drinking now? #2467

Full day...first up was the De Young Museum with a really cool exhibit on Tattoo artist Ed Hardy, then visited the Legion of Honor Museum with a special exhibit of Reuben...walked 7 miles in all and my dawgs are barkin’ - Grapefruit Sculpin at sunset:



Ed Hardy:



“Free Range and Howboy” 2009. Hardy made so much loot off of the marketing of his designs on t-shirts and posters, etc. in the mid 2000s that he retired from tattooing in 2008, and now continues with his artistic endeavors. Cheers from the east bay!

 

Round 2 @ the Mariners game and going local with a Ranier.

 

After seeing you guys post this for months, I finally found some in the wilds of Sacramento, CA. A seriously unique brew, for sure, not entirely sure how much I like it . . . I think it needs to warm a bit before I can make a good assessment.

 

Very sound reasoning!

 

these zd pounders are legit af

 

Just opened this.



Unfortunately...

I forgot I hated it, and how much I hated it damn man! I think I'm gonna go to the fridge for a better beer.

 

Round 3...

 

Revisiting Orkney Brewery's Skull Splitter for the first time in way too long. I almost forgot what great beer this is!

That's a fucking great song, haven't heard it for years.

 

Yes, I'm starting to get it now . . . the figs and dates are really coming through. Very complex, unlike anything I've had before.

 

Earlier I checked out the liquor store down the street from my new house, and look at this beer I found (Vertical 2002, but it’s stamped that it was bottled in 2016):


Mike Trout is insane.

Back in 2013 I didn’t like this beer because all I knew were West Coast IPA’s. Here in 2019, I love it. Great East Coast IPA:

 

The bottle itself is actually "Picon Biere" which I THINK is a weaker descendant of Amer Picon that is designed to pair with beer. I haven't had a similar mix since trying it in France a long time ago. I certainly enjoyed it, but I've also had the above straight and enjoyed it more that way (ditto for the beer). Back when I ordered the Picon Biere straight (w/o beer), the bartender looked at me like I was nuts. Tonight, when I ordered the Picon Biere mixed with beer, the bartender (different from the first one) looked at me like I was nuts.

I guess it wasn't all that you needed for very long.

 

Cheers LNBA’s.

 

Not exactly feeling this one, BA’s. Kind of tastes like a sweet, grape IPA. I’ll try and finish it:
