    Saint Arnold H-Town Pils, and I made my Mom's Italian Beef recipe. Its always pretty damn good, and a wonderful pairing. The Bear ain't got nothing on my Mom's Central Illinois cooking ha (let alone most the restaurants around town trying to copy it now ha).

    And I can't get enough of this good weather, courtyard time, I missed you.

    So yesterday during tailgating, one of the guys said Hamms and PBR are the same beer in different packaging. I have no idea-is that true?

    Sorry to hear Wes Freed died, he was what was called an outsider artist. He did a lot of stuff for the Drive By Truckers



    These are a few of his album covers

    Taxman Brewing Co. -- Bourbon Barrel InvEster
    Barrel-aged Belgian-style golden ale with honey & vanilla
    ABV: 9.0%; pouring temperature: 42 °F; canning info: CANNED ON 08/20/21

    [​IMG]

    4.02/5 rDev +3.6%
    look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4

    Partially hazy, dark amber body; thick head, off-white and semi-creamy; sticky sheets of foam clothe the inside of the glass. A touch of phenol on the nose; raw white oak; caramel lurking in the background. Earthy, heavy, sweet flavor; notes of honey and vanilla; wood-like phenols linger in the background; earthy herbal notes; a very faint note of over-ripe apricot; bready yeast notes. Heavy body; thick residual sugars; alcohol dryness.

    This beer wrestles some nice nuance within its heavy-hitting flavors and mouthfeel. The ABV is nicely hidden and the big residual sugar presence keeps the beer from being too hot. All the elements of barrel-aging, honey, and vanilla can be readily detected. Overall: balanced and bold.

    ...first saw these guys at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in the early 90s (I was at Keesler AFB for some sort of either IT or NCO training)...saw them again in Florissant, CO at the Thunderbird Inn with Mrs. BeerGoot (early 2000s)...just a phenomenal show both times...two dudes making some incredible music...

    Hey bro - I'm scheduled to get the new Moderna vaccine this coming Weds at 11:00 am. Kevin says he's going to get it as well. Let me know if you get it as well since I will probably put a jam together in the late fall with you, me and Kevin if we're all vaccinated with the latest.

    Covid is still a thing, Kevin was telling me one of his wife's best friends just died from it after battling it for a month while on a ventilator - 52 years young and in good health. I don't know if she had been vaccinated or not. Stay well my friend!

    Missing the u, but you get the picture (taken in the early morning hours the other day).

    Feels like the first day of Fall here, dark cloudy upper 60s F, after a warmer than usual summer here plus a muggier two weeks than Summer normal in Vegas. Two weeks and days left on the astrological calendar, so Fall's permanence is just an illusion. Thankfully, this beer is not.

    Full review in the New Beer Weekend thread, extended for your Holiday Enjoyment. Bottom line is this is simply wonderful, and I am working through this 750 ml like it's my last one.

    What it is, fellow Beer Advocates? Just finished some ribs (smoked for ~2 hours on my shitty electric smoker, then wrapped in foil and into the oven on low heat for another hour, then finished quickly on the grill for a little char) and pulled the cornbread out of the oven. Paired with a fresh Ayinger Oktoberfest, which goes great with the spicy smokiness of the ribs and the sweetness of the cornbread.

    My wife and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary yesterday, and I’ve been enjoying some fantastic U.S. Open tennis all weekend. Hoping for a Kyrgios-Tiafoe men’s final. Happy Labor Day! Cheers!

    I think I'll have another Stone, advocates. Much love. Lots of reflection going on at present. Trying to calculate this next move. I'm not trying to be playing checkers when it calls for chess. I love you. Cheers.
