    NEEPAA from Cushwa. I didn't do the can justice, but ET the Extra-Terrestrial is in the upper-right-hand corner. Peace...
    Of course I love this can. I'm 93 years old. Cheers!

    Stomping a buddy 4-1 in pool early this morning must have tired me out because I took a nap, which is rarer for me than Halley’s Comet.

    Starting off with That’s A Paddlin’ from Mikkeller. A very good NE DIPA.

    Great song from a west coast Canada band. Cheers.

    Anchorage Brewing Co. -- The Unthinkable (IPA - New England)

    4.06/5 rDev +1.2%
    look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

    Soft, pale yellow body, opaque and translucent; dense and creamy head, mountainous, white and sticky. Quiet, subtle mild lemon aroma; lemon bread. Subtly balanced flavors combining delicate lemon and pale malt richness; mild bitterness. Fairly heavy body; somewhat coarse and acidic; brings a mildly dry and acidic bite to the palate.

    This beer delivers beauty and subtlety. Sure, it's "New England" styled, yet the deftness of character and sublime restraint are so enjoyable and outside of what one usually experiences with this style that this winds up being a real treat.
    I got a triple set from Tavour - regular Abraxas (which I've had a few times before), plus the coffee and the vanilla...loves me some well-made big dark beers, and the coffee didn't disappoint...hopefully the vanilla-centric edition will also satisfy...

    I still enjoy what I’ve had recently, but don’t believe it’s the beer it used to be.

    Starting a bit early with an easy drinking Narragansett Lager; nice, crisp, and satisfying after a sh!t day

    It’s certainly not, when they upped production trying to capitalize on the win they lost the formula. Imo it’s never been the same since.

    I got drugs for that. Carisoprodol(Soma) works for me, usually 1 does it at night but last time I thought I needed the anti-inflammatory to go with it. I had back surgery in 2015. A Laminectomy. I became disabled/retired after that. Cheers man!

    That seems crazy to me that a brewery the size of 3 Floyd's couldn't weather the storm and just re-open that spot when they are able too...seems kinda lame...especially in these times when we need to look forward to heading back to spots like that

    Wrapped up work early, opened a Firestone Anniversary XXI, and put on some Ry Cooder. Not bad, but not their best. Super smooth, but not really a lot going on.

    9 days old and I wasn’t expecting a straight up malt bomb from this El Segundo LA Showdown. Still, it’s ok enough:

    OG's Axe from EQ x Fiden's. EQ is not disappointing. I feel sorry for the people who never got the true experience. I love you.

    That's always a nice feeling isn't it? Get work wrapped up early, grab a beer and relax!
