In one Jack mug is coffee, in the other is "coffee".

The best thing about Ash vs Evil Dead's premiere for me was the preview for American Gods (an awesome novel by the way), including this song.

Bonus trivia: the movie Halloween was originally called The Babysitter Murders. Think they came up with a better title.

 

Good luck with the storms. Are you in the islands drinking that?

 

Enjoy and be safe. It might not be a beercation, but Dragons Stout in the islands is a special thing. Enjoy!

 

good morning, tbt, throwback Thursday. hittin' a 2012 Green Flash Double Stout.

 

Having this one before getting' behind the lawnmower....

 

Old and new -- or new in old:



Fulton Beer's new "Standard Lager" in a flute branded for the famous 'Sparkling Stite', originally brewed not far from Fulton's new production facility in northeast Minneapolis.

Prepping for a long weekend of beer-yness at the Guzzle and Twirl beer can show.

 

A few years back rumor had it that Dragon Stout would be making its way back to the general U.S. market after going away in the mid (1995?) 1990s. I followed this up with emails to Desnoes & Geddes and their various importers, and while they were characteristically professional and polite in answering my inquiry, no dice . . . I'm still waiting to try this one again with my grown-up (and professionally trained!), mature adult palate.

 

Today I am making fall pub food. It's Pub Food Thursday. This is gonna be Leek and Potato Soup with Blue Cheese and Rosemary Crouton.

meow.



I mean cheers! IS it Friday yet?

 

Having my morning porridge...

Gotta go get a spoon!

 

I adored this beer!

 

This is the IPA that won 2016 Argentina's Cup Gold Medal (it was last month)...I did wrong not trying much of the local offerings and choosing expensive imports instead. Last month I tried Stone IPA (Berlin can) for the first time, and found it amazingly rich in passion fruit, piny and grapefruit aromas and taste. I loved it. Well, this Itzel Session IPA is like Stone IPA on steroids...the same profile but boosted like crazy...ultra hoppy but in a good way...can't believe we've got such a quality brew here. Of course, there are no more bottles around...all sold out despite the price (8usd each)...although I got myself a 12 pack for 4,50usd each.

Great great beer.

 

5.2% alcohol. Introduced in 1997. Brewed in Merry Old England.

 

You took that pic on 9/28/2016 at 6:00 PM, poor form.

 

Looked for that German Heritage variety pack last night and I couldn't find it.
