Hop Butcher
Elder Secrets of an Ancient Past.
A nice little juice bomb here



RIP to Dimebag Darrell, 14 years ago today.
The ultimate shredder/riff beast.

Cheers!

 

Watching Rudolph and drinking a favorite.

 

A much needed beer from @Lingenbrau Brewed by Hyundai.

 

Always a favorite of mine.

 

I dig this beer. One of the better canned New England IPA’s i’ve had.


Morrissey’s cover of a Waylon Jenning’s song about Hank Williams. Let that sink in:

 

Pretty good, not great. It’s almost there to be great!

Glad to get back to NWIndiana for a couple days to bury my grandfather - my second dad basically. Back to Houston now on the plane, but there’s a “mechanical issue” ... Thanks for announcing that captain
cheers y’all.

 

Dinner beer (aka: beer with dinner, better yet, it was free ) ...



... and a 10% dessert beer while watching the 1954 classic "Creature From The Black Lagoon" with my wife. Goin' old school with dinner and a movie at home.

 

They make a fine car in that Genesis.

 

I was going to behave tonight, and go to the gym after work. I get there, thinking it closed at 10 tonight. WRONG! it closes at 8. Really didn't have time to get a swim in, so home drinking Rainbows & Lollipops from The Fermentorium.

3.94/5 rDev +3.4%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Pours a slightly murky amberish color. The head is quite frothy, white, 3 finger, with good retention. There's some really nice lacing on the glass as the head dissipates.
The nose has a nice hop aroma. Some pineapple, orange and other citrus aromas.
Taste - a nice sweetness that turns into a nice citrus hop flavor. The pineapple and orange taste good. Slight pine on the backside.
The Body is decent. Nice how the hops linger a bit on the backside.
Decent IPA from them. Great flavor, and it holds up well.

 

Revision The Bruff... I was hoping lightning a candle would make it taste better, but nah. It’s just alright:

 

Of course you would not

 

Had a BCBS Wheatwine earlier. Damn good.

 

Damn. Will you adopt me?

 

Sitting down for Fight Night in America.

Brickstone - Dark Secret.

 

Hit up Total Wine today, and this is the first thing I'm checking out...

Stone's Enjoy By Brut IPA - looove it - still rockin' that 9.4% abv, but with a funky dryness - very fucking pleased - 11/27 canning, 1/1/19 "enjoy by" date...

Lomachenko fight coming up soon...

But somehow the Heisman Trophy ceremony trumps the fight? What the fuck?

In the meantime, lots of musician comings and goings get a nod today...

Jim Morrison, December 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971...


Gregg Allman, December 8, 1947 – May 27, 2017...


Sinéad O'Connor, 52 today...
Alright, admittedly, I'm not a fan, but I love Chris Cornell's cover of Nothing Compares 2 U, which, even though written by Prince, is usually associated with Sinéad...

Corey Taylor, 45 today...

Not a Stone Sour guy, and I really only like one Slipknot album, but his voice is great, and I really dig a lot of the covers he does...

Nicki Minaj, 36...

Probably a reprehensible person, but I'll still watch this every now and then...

And I mentioned goings, right?

Today marks the day John Lennon was killed back in 1980...

There was a Beatles, Who, Stones, and Zeppelin debate late last night @TheGent @joe1510 @scream @russpowell @Rootscipio @tasterschoice62 @not2quick - but they left Sabbath and Purple out of it so I stayed out of it, too...

Today also marks the day Dimebag Darrell was killed back in 2004...


And one non-musical nod: John Glenn, July 18, 1921 – December 8, 2016...

Can't comment on his politics much, but gotta give the nod outta respect for his military service (WWII and Korea) and work in the space program...

Cheers, BA...
