    Felicitations fellow Friday frothy followers!

    That's enough alliteration for me this week, so now it's on to the important stuff: beer!

    I'm drinking Palace Pale Ale by Tilba Brewing Company, which I picked up way back in January when visiting the quaint village of Tilba Tilba on the south coast of New South Wales here in Oz. It's a nice beer, if a little old, and I would love to try it when fresh to drink it how the brewer intended.

    One thing I didn't do per the manufacturer's instructions was take two antihistamine tablets last night when the recommended dosage was one. This has left me struggling to keep my eyes open all day at work. Hayfever has gone, but my God, do I want to curl up in a ball and go to sleep right now! Beer will perk me up, right?

    Cheers!

    Guten abend, bonsoir, good evening Az! Thanks for being basically our weekend host for this thread.

    Tripick is a brewery I only recently discovered and firstly tried their tripel, which was really great. Belgian one, this time sipping on their amber ale using four different malts, hitting the 6,8% ABV mark.

    The head/foam vanished faster than a mosquito in a Montreal winter day, the beer is evidently Amber looking. Taste great and malt forward, drinks really well.

    Glad to have this new brewery available here, and looking forward to try different of their beers.

    I am listening to Yeah yeah yeahs - Heads will roll:



    Very catchy tune and well directed video, I believe.

    Before jumping in today, want to congratulate @tolar111 on his 15th BA anniversary celebrated yesterday, and your 10th BA Anniversary @Beersnake1 !

    Also enjoying reading your Alaskan trip reports Kevin @GrumpyGas

    Had a Super Zero Hop Water during the overnight hours, but BA confirmed this isn't the same as an NA beer, so no post, but this certainly qualifies.

    Hoping this takes me out for a noonish wakeup call to allow me to enjoy the afternoon with some beers and errands.

    This song has held up well as well.

    Just a quick pop-in to say hello to the early birds.

    Got up at 4 am today to "prep" the body for tomorrow's rude (and earlier) awakening and race time start of 4.

    Then I have 29:59:59 to make it back to Leadville.
    Sorry no pic -- pretty rustic connection and been having issues on my end I think with imgur/postimage, etc.

    Another NA UA Italian PIlsner for Friday wake-up.
    Be well, stay improper, and I'll check in either Sunday night or Monday night.

    Cheers!

    Mid August...must be time for high quality Oktoberfests to start arriving. Oh, wait, Great Lakes did that for me.

    The air becomes crisp where I live late August this year due to orographic lifting, elevation and that pesky heat dome hovering over the central US. I'll take the 55 degrees at 7 a.m. Not looking forward to traveling to Michigana in September if this heat dome sticks around. Probably going to be at least 90 in late-September over there if it doesn't break.

    Cheers!

    Another day working from home. One kid at school, other starts next week. Nothing like a good coffee stout to get the day going. Reminds me of the days I would start this thread with an FBS in my trust Initech mug.

    Great musical choice, @ChicagoJ! I’ll go further back in their catalogue.

    Good morning/afternoon/evening BAs! Thanks to @AzfromOz for opening the VB today.

    I took yesterday off as another cleanse day this week. Back from overcast/drizzling hour long walk in the park…coffee time! The big box store foolishly gave me a coupon for $2 off 4-6pks, limit 4, so I stocked up on breakfast beers yesterday - KBS:

    [​IMG]

    Bottled 5/1/23. Poured at 55°. My chiller is set a little colder so I sat this beer on the counter for about 5 minutes. Until Mackinaw Fudge returns, the OG is my go to, especially at a discount :sunglasses:.

    More rain forecast today with temps in the low 90s. I rather enjoy getting next to nothing done, and taking all day to accomplish the feat; ergo, I may just stay inside and “while away the hours”…

    Cheers and have a feckless Friday y’all!

    A second cup of coffee as I enjoy my time on the site - FBS:

    [​IMG]

    Bottled 6/28/23. Poured at 58°. Strong coffee with this bottled batch. I like!

    I just got assigned a trial gig in San Juan, Puerto Rico for mid October…anybody been there, any good breweries or beer bars? Cheers bar mates!
