    Good morning everyone, or whatever time of day you are joining us at the bar.

    Two great breweries responsible for this Barleywine aged in rye whiskey and red wine barrels.

    Revolution & Firestone Walker Oakpocalypse Later

    I'll have to check out Karen Dalton @Resistance88 , and coupled with North Coast Old Rasputin, still the undefeated March Madness Beer Selection across Beer Advocate, sounds like a great pairing. But that will have to wait for at least a few tribute posts to legendary Chicagoan Jack DeJohnette, who passed away Sunday. One of @champ103 's favorites, I expect Paul to honor Jack when he returns to WBAYDN.

    Will join @tacosandbeer and WDCB with their tributes with two from the two o'clock overnight show, which I finally got to after watching the final three innings of the World Series. Really tough game for Toronto to lose. Also, a really tough legendary musician for all of us who loved his work, or will discover Jack sometime in the future where he will live on with his recordings.

    Hi all. TA @ChicagoJ for opening today's thread. I had to abandon the site yesterday as it just simply wasn't working. Give the Cloud some cheap trucker speed :joy: Got my yard work finished and had some brews. Picking up where I left off: Sketchbook Hop Thirsty Void HDIPA. Really tasty and has great orange & stone fruit tastes. Nice feel down to the last sip. I'll give it some good numbers.
    Band rehearsal tonight by Chet's so I'll be swingin' in to check for the SN Celebration roll out.
    Cheers!

    Good day BAs! Thanks @ChicagoJ for opening the bar! Your easy access to Revolution brews makes me jealous, almost jealous enough to make me willing to park on the Chi-town expressways!

    Today's New Breakfast Beer:

    When I was a college student I probably went to Czechia 4-5 times but I don't think I drank a single drop of beer (I was not into booze at the time). I'm very annoyed that I haven't ticked a brewery box for this country in BA.

    Morning, BAs (and good afternoon to our European friends and visitors!). I've already knocked out an incredible amount of work, so I'm going to reward myself with a Hazelnut Fudge KBS.

    Same one I was quaffing yesterday and couldn't post due to site issues. Thankfully, Todd got it fixed! :+1:

    Back at the boat and working my way through the beer I stocked our fridge with while we were in Germany. Löwenbrauerei Passau Urtyp Hell, artfully depicted next to a bowl of fruit.

    Prost!
