    Thanks man. I really am getting a bite of what Hunter is dealing with, FB "friends" DGAF and some folks still deny this is even happening... makes a guy want to take a 2x4 to some folks heads and wake them up (or put them to sleep depending on board velocity). At least some folks here get it.

    Have a good Sunday. Slept in a lot today. I was up until 4 AM. I played Borderlands for 6 hours last night. Just got past the Roid Rage Psycho boss. I got this sick sniper rifle from a side quest that does +200% damage for headshots plus sets the enemies on fire. I am stuck trying to get out of the safe house, the whole place is littered with Bruisers that hardly take any damage even if you use a rocket launcher. Most other very strong enemies go down hard with the sniper rifle to the head.

    Bell's Two Hearted. Fantastic as always. Aromas and flavors of huge ruby red grapefruit, mandarin orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, honeydew melon, citrus peel/zest, peppercorn, and pine hops; with moderate honey, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nutty malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation, medium-plus body, and fairly crisp finishing. Balanced creamy/bready/grainy malts, sticky hops, and light resin/rinds in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing lingering bitter dryness, no cloying/astringent. Very smooth/soft, not aggressive, minimal warming 7%. Amazing Centennial showcase as expected. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized balancing bready Vienna/pale malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Spot on Midwest style IPA. Prefer the Founders Centennial more, but love both. Just as impressive as the Double as well. Will keep it in the fridge more often!

    I went out to the local mountain bike trails early and rode some rooty singletrack on my gravel bike, which was humbling. Waves of people were coming into the parking area by noon so I split and came home.

    Started working on a crowler of Bierkeller Weißbier. Hits the spot sitting out here in the backyard.
    I used to put Jackson Browne down, but since he and The Section got old, I am seeing things their way.

    I wish the old Stone Brewing would come back along with Old Guardian, Porter, Double Bastard and Oak Aged Arrogant Bastard, but I guess I'll have to settle for a fizzy, yellow beer. Cheers all!

    @brewskis @TheIPAHunter
    Serious and sincere condolences for your losses; it's hard to imagine until it actually happens.
    Be safe, reach those who will listen to staying at home, and let's navigate this strange era cautiously until we have some version of a vaccine or therapies that are successful.
    I know I fall prey to a morbid, often dark, sense of humor. It's a character flaw of mine. Humor is my only defensive mechanism to going nuts.

    Our thoughts are with you and those who have lost someone close to them.

    It's been tougher than pretty much anything I've faced, especially with the quarantine. But my family and I will definitely get through it. Thanks man.
