    In between but much closer to Boulogne.

    So the coast of the Somme region of France. Not going to make it hard on BA and start lecturing you all, but the Somme was an epic, tragic battle that took place in 1916. Santé et merci amigo!

    Worth checking out if you have a chance. I don't have access to the top NEIPAs in Chicago, but I would check out ones highly praised in this thread. Are there any other styles you drink besides IPAs/NEIPAs?

    Second beer this morning, same brewer, different style: AleSmith Forgeberry

    Also tried this for the first time in February, a very good fruit beer (listed on BA as a wild ale, I submitted a change request), flavorful with light ABV 4.9% and calories (120). More tart than I remembered, still enjoyed the taste and price ($10 six pack).

    Cant't wait to hit Cali this Winter, hopefully everything is clear by then.

    Super, et je connais. I remember the Somme region (I'm a WWI/WWII "nerd"), Cayeux, Saint Valery, etc. Jolie region! Spent 1981-1983 just outside Rouen and we got to know the region well...

    Howdy BAs - back from my 6+ miler, exhausted and hungry.
    Made a carnitas "melt" sandwich on a brioche bun and turned out OK!

    A little TRVE Tunnel of Trees lurks in the background - work ahead for the rest of the day.
    Check in later, y'all. Cheers!

    You have just pinpointed me! I was in Cayeux just this afternoon, which is sadly a bit decaying these days whereas St Valéry sur Somme is jumping. The latter has more appeal although I like both, the Somme and its coastline attract all kind of bloody parisians and other northern French; just like Deauville et all.

    I'm sitting around on a hot day. I'm having a Dixie Peach from Whole Hog. It's supposed to be a hefeweizen, but there is literally nothing indicative of it being a hefe. There's a lot of peach in the nose and palate, but no wheat or anything else to make it a hefeweizen. I rated it a 3.12, which was a chunk below it's BA average of 3.33.

    I would like to call your attention to the head on this IPA (Exhibit A). No, this was not an overly enthusiastic pour, but a "heady topper," (if I may be so bold as to borrow that term). Also the reason I really respect the construction of the Sam Adams Perfect Pint glass: without that outward turn lip, well ...

    [​IMG]

    Exhibit B: the label notes, submitted for your approval. Translation, all things to all men (and women). It is a fair description: it is a really good beer.

    [​IMG]

    Exhibit C: Made on St. Paddy's day. Yes, the NYC 5th Ave parade was cancelled, but you have got to love that dedication.

    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I submit that these folks are dedicated to the craft. Never been, but cannot wait to get to Kelly and Sonya's tap room when things loosen up a bit in NYC.



    Stay Safe and Sláinte!
