What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2964

At one of my favorite dive bars, Monkey's Tail. Outside on their patio, its a wonderful 60 degrees out but people in Houston always treat that as the coming of Hell freezing over. Oh well, their loss

Saint Arnold Christmas Ale, and continuing on with the ridiculous black comedy of Iris Murdoch (I wouldn't have it any other way with her novels).



Then an Old Fashioned, and a huge Chicken Fried Steak. The mashed potatoes have feta cheese and jalapenos in them

 

Happy 25th, Sly Fox!





Ever work for a boss where whatever you do, it's never right? (I'm getting too old for this **** show. )



Is it Friday yet? !!

 

Having another Boundary IPA. Simply fantastic. Fast becoming one of my favorite breweries. I may need to take a trip to Belfast when this whole pandemic thing is over...

Sticking with the old country this evening:

 

#2, forgot I had this, it’s like a piece of apple crisp in a beer. Really digging this on a damp, chilly evening in Northern Indiana.

 

I never saw Johnny in concert but did see Edgar Winters in NY back in the late 60’s. I wish I could remember more but in those days you know.......

 

Beer Advent commenceth. Day one: Yuengling Dark Brewed Porter. Somewhat forgettable but better beers are ahead! Cheers!

 

@beergoot yep Love everything with Bobby Hutcherson. Is that the newish Blue Note Tone Poet release? I really want to get that one...hmmm

What I did just recently find, is kind of a "whale" for for me, and I love it. Cecil Taylor In Transition. Part of those wonderful Blue Note 70's 2 LP re-issues. A couple of mid 50's records here, and he is just as out there as ever

Oh, and an always amazing 512 Pecan Porter.

 

One of my favorites!

Here's my contributions to the Stanley Clarke mentions earlier in this thread. Amazing player - all these guys are for that matter!

 

A very good Virginia beer.

 

Ommegang philosophy and velocity

 

First beer of the advent calendar: Flotzinger Hell.

I like the name and the label. The beer is fine.

 

picked up some Nashville Hot Chicken at Lou's on 7th Ave, and while I was waiting walked over to Counter Culture Brewing for this Festbier, a collaboration with Cannonball Creek

 

3 Floyds Alpha Klaus...delicious but hoppy as hell. Could pass for a Black IPA, a damn good one. Haven’t had a beer like this in a while...makes me miss Lagunitas Night Time.

 

I really liked that too.

 

I've spent my fair share of time and dollars studying different ones. They were good, hell some were fantastic. But the energy and resources need to acquire them does seem to make sense when 12 packs of Celebration are sitting in every bottle shop I go to at a price point of like $15. Of course, IPA isn't my favorite style, so I am biased, ha. But I hear where you're coming from.

 

Hee hee, I try.

I don't have the Andrew Hill or Jean-Luc Ponty...well I do have another Blue Note re-issue of Ponty but not part of these 2 LP issues. Its a live concert from the 60's that wasn't released till late 70's early 80's on BN. Anyway, Andrew Hill is one I'm really wanting right now, I found one but not paying $70 for it. I'm sure eventually I'll track down a reasonably priced one.

And those Tone Poet reissues are just stunning. The one you posted is on my list to get, and there is a Donald Byrd being released later this month I will have to track down as well.

 

Ever wonder if your doctor was right about ADD as a kid and you've just been punishing yourself for 20 years? Appetite is working fine. Thanks cbd
