It's a gorgeous summer day here in the Windy City. A few spotty clouds and a little cool, but no rain so I'm not complaining. We opened this bomber last night, but finished it after midnight, so it still counts, right? It wasn't exactly what I expected, but it was still a nice, light imperial stout. It's great for summertime.

Greetings, fellow NBSers,
90 degrees and sunny in the city with over 700 3-on-3 basketball teams playing on the streets this weekend. Yesterday I avoided Hoopfest by driving east and spending the day in northern Idaho. I attended Selkirk Abbey's anniversary party for a couple of hours and sampled their new quad and imperial saison (and bought a bomber of the latter), then drove on over to Coeur d'Alene, where I bought some beers not available in Washington.

I'm starting off with one of them now, a canned IPA from Boise that might not win high marks among ardent hop heads, but was a nice, sessionable IPA that hit the spot after getting off work on a very hot day:

Cheers!

 

>>> New Beer...ooops...sorry <<<

Have to tell this story quickly here. Sorry for no review, but like most, I was beer shopping for some weekend brews and looked for a few new bottles to try. Didn't see much, but then I spotted Stone RuinTen IPA. Picked up a bottle, then thought - I'll review this on Sunday and post in the NBS thread, as I often do.

Didn't have a clue that it was the re-packaged 10th Anniversary beer. Which I had last year. Oh well, at least it's a great beer.

Until I can find a new one - CHEERS!

 

Greetings from the Columbia Basin. A great day here in dry and wheat country, sunny with temps in the low 90's.

On such a summer-like day I am having Fresh Squeezed IPA from Deschutes. I actually had this last weekend at a brewfest in Lewiston, Idaho and thought it was quite good then. So I bought a bomber and here is the review.

Looking forward to a short and peaceful work week with a few beer drinking opportunities along the way.

Happy 4th all and happy trails.

 

It's a hot NBS in Berkeley, CA, but not so hot as other nearby areas.

Today's offering comes from Greywulfken in New York as reprisal for a small porch bomb of west coast goodies, and it comes in a can!

 

Greetings & Happy NBS, on this last day of June!

It was with great excitement that I saw some spanking-new 4-packs on the shelf today. I'm on my 2nd one (that just had to be contained in the oh-so-appropriate Winking Lizard Glass):

Great Lakes Silver & Gold IPL



Strangely, with each sip, I can't help but feel a bit sentimental. Great Lakes was at the very forefront of my beer-drinking journey. It was them, along with Pete's and Sierra Nevada, that truly opened up my taste buds. I had my first Dortmunder Gold in high school, so I'm celebrating approximately 16 years of GLBC enjoyment. Here's to many more..

Cheers!

 

New Porter Sunday
