    Greetings advocates.

    Today marks my naked day as the card behind the Westmalle Tripel indicates. It also reads my age. Technically and according to average men’s life expectancy I’m about through with half of my life, maybe less.

    Cheers!

    Happy birthday, mate!

    While @Shanex celebrates the halfway mark of his time among us, my beer tonight celebrates yet another Aussie brewery heading into administration after failing to convince the taxman to forgo or delay some COVID-accrued debts and being unable to service debts to unpaid creditors. I suspect they'll come out of this still in operation, but I hope the deal doesn't end up shafting suppliers. You've gotta wonder when the suppliers to the craft industry will start to go under or demand payment on delivery to ensure they keep their businesses afloat. The circle is vicious...

    It's not the brewery represented here, but another mob from down the road called Deeds Brewing. They make some bloody fine beer and would smash their business out of the park in any sane universe.

    The beer I'm drinking is by Akasha Brewing Company, here but for the grace of God rather than in Deeds' position (at least for now!). The beer isn't anything to write home about, but it's definitely worth reviewing on BA!

    Cheers!

    I am honored, but who else could have started wbaydn otherwise anyway.

    Cheers and thanks, it’s been a journey on this site.

    Thanks also, Az.

    Happy 40th Birthday @Shanex ! Nice way to celebrate between your Westmalle Tripel beer selection and opening the first new thread in the newly created/rolled out “The Bar”.

    I didn’t plan on having a beer to save my palate until I make it to Goose Island taproom to try a few new to me beers. However, I will crack open this light and easy selection for a toast which won’t impact my beer ratings this afternoon.

    My workday ends at 12:30pm today, so for lunch I’m going to enjoy a bottle of Woods & Waters by Maine Beer Company, which I’ve yet to try.
    Hooray for me!

    Yes! Happy 40th BDay @Shanex. You're getting old! Here's a little fun gift from 1977. If you make it to the end of the song, it has kind of a barnyard feel at about 3:10. Remember, the movie Star Wars was released the same year...Ha!! Have a good day!

    My guess is you are going to enjoy the Woods & Waters. It is my favorite beer brewed by Maine Beer Company. We do not get too many MBC brews here in Richmond but this is one I can usually find.

    Good morning BAs! I took yesterday off as a cleanse day. Tipping one for the the birthday boy @Shanex - Guinness Foreign Extra Stout:

    [​IMG]

    Poured at 54°. Sweet malt and bitter roast barley. I know that Saint Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, as this beer is back on the grocery store shelves.

    I’ve got a Tavour box landing today, so I’ll be at the pub later this afternoon. Cheers and ha a fab Friday y’all!
