Say hi to Jeff Bezos if you happen to see him. .

Have a wonderful time!

 

Two from Ontario...the 5.5% Oatmeal Stout from Orleans' Broadhead Brewing Company, and then the 5% Strawberry Blonde I just found recently at LCBO from Whitby's Brock Street Brewing Company...With Sundae, the cat...

 

Hi Monday BA's

Rainy day today - going to be an "inside chore" kinda day today - picked these "little rippers" up this morning - on sale for $9.99 for 8 - not bad!

 

In Salzburg, the top Marzen on BA: Augustiner Brau Marzen Bier. It earned its rating with me.

 

Clocking in for 4.th of July with a SN Triple IPA (2025 Appearance)....11% ABV

 

Grimbergen Blond from the can.
I almost wish I was back at the office, with these temperatures now in NW Europe
Cheers

 

Veil Tefnut apricot passion fruit double dip swirl fruited gose... one left. Thick.

 

Putzing around, heading out later for lunch and a few, then a one night stay at The Cromwell where I’ll hit a few more places as my tolerance permits. Pregaming with a classic.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale



Calling myself out for being a bit salty last week when the undated box (distributed in mid-May) yielded 3/3/25 cans, but as usually these held up well, and I rarely get a malt creep until the 5-6 month mark with this well packaged selection. Just wish Hazy Little Thing didn’t replace SNPA on most tap lines the past few years.

 

Home after rippin' it up in Duluth. I could live there. Felt like old times when I had a mattress and a drum kit. No possesions. New Belgium Oakspire BBA Four Roses. Cheers!

 

Hey what's going on?!

Still enjoying Maryland as always...



Cheers!

 

Tasty Dunkel from Frankenmuth! Cheers!

 

Just got done sparring.
My buddy on the right just got back from Belgium and got this for me .

 

It's said that not every cloud has a silver lining. This one has one.

Another Oakspire Four Roses

 

I've had Westy12 before and wasn't a fan, this one, however, checks all the boxes.
It is unbelievably SMOOTH.

 

Last day of vacation before it's back to the grind! Doing some yard work and sipping on a Two Hearted..





Cheers!

 

Cheers!

 

1) Surly Hell Lager (5.0%): A German lager from Minnesota that has flavors of lemonflower with a dry yeasty and pale malt finish.
versus
2) Falling Knife Freudenfreude (5.5%): A DDH Dortmunder lager from Minnesota with flavors of bright flower, citrus, and a hoppy, bitter finish. (Correctly matched the two beers blind)

Surly vs Toppling Goliath German Lager Battle. First is Surly Hell, one of the best and my favorite German lagers from Minnesota. Bright, floral, and crisp. Outstanding.
Next is Falling Knife. Similar, but the dry-hopping stands out. Again, bright, floral and crisp, but obviously more hoppy notes. This is really good as well.
Surly Hell is hard to beat and will go down as a classic and one of the most underrated lagers in Minnesota in my books.
Winner: Surly Hell
