    Good morning, have a nice Saturday and weekend all.

    We were driving to a Christmas market in the next town, parking situation there turned out to be shit and decided to come back here sipping a booze in peace instead. Getting old ehh?

    [​IMG] This brewery keeps sending ultra fresh beer every few weeks and as you have seen @LarryV and I are drinking it often. Cheers all and especially Larry! One dimensional haze, but they are very good at the one trick.

    Yes - we seem to be getting the same shipments within a couple of days of each other. As far as hazies go, I generally enjoy their offerings, and it's always fresh as well. I'll join you later on with a First Ascent myself - I'm still in morning coffee mode. :grin::sunglasses:

    Cheers!!!

    Good morning @Shanex - if you're not getting old the likelihood of you being dead is 100%.. so we might as well enjoy "getting old" while it lasts!? Enjoying a SN Celebration - Cheers!!

    Thanks for the throwback sketch @Shanex - really enjoyed the revisit.

    Cross-post with New Beer Weekend #229, this one another Chicago selection.

    Full review linked above, full New Beer Weekend #229 take linked here. Bottom line, this is a good Amber Ale, unexpected clove and rye nice on the flavor. Sadly, my football playing days ended in 2012.

    I love Vegas, but Baseball and Football should be alive and well in the great American city of Oakland, California.

    Happy Saturday BA's! Thanks @Shanex for #4431.
    Feels like something toasty and bready. Köstritzer Schwarzbier works like a charm.

    Prost! :beers:

    Good Pearl Harbor remembrance day BA's. A sad day in our country's history with big losses, US forces were completely unprepared, and in less than ninety minutes, Japanese planes destroyed or damaged 19 US warships and 300 aircraft, and killed over 2,400 US servicemen. KBS to take the 45 degree chill off while prepping a fire to grill lunch.

    G'day all!

    Very nice sketch there @Shanex !

    I'm sipping on this tasty Pilsner from Meier's Creek. I bought the Advent calendar from City Brew Tours and this is the first new offering from the box. I already had the Threes All or Nothing West Coast IPA before.

    Prost!

    Well, it's still too early for me to have a beer, but I went to my local family owned supermarket this morning and the store manager mentioned to me that they had 1 bottle of Utopias (2023). Since I've wanted to try this beer for years and can never find it - i figured I would splurge on it since it was right there under my nose.

    Price was $249 vs the $289 that TotalWine is asking. The store owner told me it was originally marked $290 and he told them no - sell it for $249 - they were ecstatic that I bought it lol - made their day. Probably be a while before I actually open it though.
