    The champion fantasy baseball trophy had to go to its rightful owner because I didn’t win this year. Filled the empty spot with this green elephant thingy that was once my grandma’s.

    And of course I’m having a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale because it’s the only thing fresh and decent from my corner store. (They have a row of Topa Topa Chief Peak IPA’s canned in January 2024). I love Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, but for the sake of variety, I need to find a better store to step things up:

    Corner store SN is still SN! I
    Have the same glass back back home.

    I got the glass back in 2014 on eBay - which is before Heineken bought them and they didn’t have a tasting room and merch yet (I’m pretty sure). It was a great find at the time. Cheers!

    Gallia Blonde, taste almost like an IPA. Our own SNPA here anyway:

    You’re going to pass me in beer points pretty soon, brother. I’ve been stuck on 5,221 for what seems like ages now. Grand High Poobah is so close yet so far..

    I would kill for regular fresh SNPA in Chicago @RaulMondesi .Also, congratulations on your Dodgers. Didn't have a dog in the fight after the Brewers were bounced. The lone drawback is the corrupt owners using it as a talking point for their planned second lockout of the decade. It's only been several years since the Dodgers had the 30th longest streak of not winning a World Series within a single location (1989-2019).

    I'm currently the low man on the points totem pole so far in this thread with 4,905 points, though if I enter my remaining AWOL beer and place reviews in this Winter as planned, will finally bust a move upwards. No BA Karma for my first BA Box, but I don't do what I do for points; only for love of the beer and our great community.

    That’s considerably less effort than it took for me to get mine!

    Good morning Advocates
    Opening day in Barnstable, Ma. For oyster season, got a peck and some little necks. Worth getting up at the butt crack of dawn in 37 degree weather. Cheers!

    G'day all!

    I'm sipping, again, on a wonderful Orval. The store that stocks it keeps on bringing in more.

    Prost!

    This afternoon physical therapy or to call it that now work out went well, just spent an hour going hard on this body… reward is Kasteel Donker, kind of a Founders Breakfast Stout for us euros. Nice flavors of chocolate and good in late fall or winter:

    Thanks to @RaulMondesi staying up late to kick off new-beer Wednesday! I've heard fruit smoothies are good for breakfast, so...

    RAR Out Of Order - Going Where You Are Fruit Smoothie Sour, 5% ABV. Pours gloppy-thick mint-green with a stealthy one-finger head of the same color, which left lactose residue. Aroma is lavender, vanilla, and lactose. Taste is lavender and vanilla ice cream, quite sweet, slightly tart. Thick and creamy mouthfeel, overall excellent. The lavender taste is a bit odd.

    4.06/5 rDev 0%
    look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

    Hoping our maple drops the last 25% of its leaves by next Wednesday since that's our last yard-waste pickup for the season. Any left after that will be gifted to neighbors.

    From the cold plunge to the hot tub, with a Narwhal (2025):

    Well I’m not drinking it right now, but I took the photo and wanted to post about it.

    From a long weekend trip to London: St Austell’s Tribute Pale Ale
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    My first time trying it. The bottle sums it up perfectly. “Zesty”. Not citrusy, but almost. Spicy, good malt presence, not too bitter.

    Pictured is London’s oldest “galleried” pub. My experience from the trip is that there are beautiful historic pubs, and then pubs with actual good beer. Not often do the two seem to overlap. Perhaps someone else has different thoughts?

    Another beer I think deserves a mention:
    Anspach and Hobday London Black

    I was lucky enough to try this and ‘The Porter’; both of which offer fairly bold flavour, without being overdone
