    You are a nice guy so I will give you a second chance! How is the school situation there in Pennsylvania? As a teacher, were you able to get a Covid shot?

    These days? Only in the human race.
    I used to though. 5 marathons, 8 half-Ms, about two dozen 10k and 5Ks.
    Never fast. After 2 shots of Covid vaccine though I may look around to see what races might inspire again.
    Cheers!

    Low Rider Bicycle from Sand City, one of my personal favorite breweries. Side note before I forget. I was in a beer store in Maryland yesterday that had a lot of IPAs that I loved when I first started drinking IPAs. The first thing I noticed was Racer 5 with a bottled on date of 2017. But wait, it gets better. Then I noticed some Union Jack from 2019. Then, I heard angels chirping and a light beamed on a small corner of the store where I saw... wait for it... Hop Ranch from Victory. IMO, that is the best IPA they have ever produced and I still don't know what they retired it. Which brings me to my point. I knew it was retired so I humored myself. Enjoy by 2015. Are you f*cking kidding me? Who runs your craft section? Wtf is going on here? The freshest beer I found was in their cooler which was Stone IPA v1.1 with an enjoy by of Sep 2020. As I'm walking out, the beer guy says "you couldn't find anything?" I stoppped, looked him right in the eye and said: "Bro, you have a retired beer with an enjoy by of 2015 on your shelf. I'm good here." Then I walked out. Haha! I love you.

    From a 16oz can with no freshness date but there is a rather adorable Frankenhatchling squawking from his eggshell.

    Pours into my tulip a murky straw color with creamy bubbly off white head. Drops quickly but leaves plenty of fluffy lace.

    Scent is lemon, lime, orange, clementines, vanilla, grapefruit and tropical fruits. Orange rind and a hint of peppery spice.

    Taste is lemon and lime at first. Orange peel, grapefruit. Good bracing bitterness in the West Coast style. Green resiny hops. Peppery spice. A hint of oniony dankness as the beer warms. Very light crisp malt bill leaves the hops fully on display. The finish is unusually clean and crisp for a big IPA.

    Mouth is unfortunately a bit thin and the carbonation a bit prickly. Would prefer a bit fuller softer and more creamy.

    A good IPA with an unusual hop profile and a great nose but the mouth feel falls a little short for me.

    An old steam beer. I joked when I saw it this am that it's the old label. That store that has had really fresh steam beers all season so I didn't even bother checking the date. Mistake

    I haven’t seen any NA, but their stuff is priced pretty high around here.

    Glad I tried it. I'll always get a Firestone Walker. At least one. I like this beer blend.
    It's so good they wrote a book about it.

    Having another Virginia beer. This one is brewed in Crozet which is close to their first brewery site in Charlottesville.
