What beer are you drinking now? #3145

Drinking SNAPPY. The old man was too young for D-Day, but left High School early
to join the fight before the end of the war. Honor the Vets today.



The old man liked Sam Adams Boston Lager and Octoberfest. He drank Pete's Wicked
and I introduced him to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Celebration. Passed 7 years ago

 

My late grandfather was in the Air Force spying on Russian radio communications from northern Alaska. My wife’s late grandfather fought with his fellow Marines in Korea. Cheers to them and every other man and woman who were always on the front line so I could wake up on a Monday morning and do this.

 

This is the very best in this style I have ever had. Such a tasty dose of Vitamin C. Cheers and thanks to all who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom.

 

Good morning BAs! A chilly 50° and foggy; the haze should lift as the sun asserts itself today...starting with Big Timber’s “Porter” on my brother’s back porch:



Best By 10/6/21. Poured at 52°. Chocolate and coffee and bitter roast. A fine breakfast beer. John is the MOD at the VA all day today, so I’ll take my other kid brother home to Charleston later this morning.

Thank you to the fallen, and their families. Cheers!

 

Happy Memorial Day, when it is important to remember and to celebrate the sacrifice of the brave men and women who have given (and will continue to give) their all to protect our nation. Still 52º F (11.1º C) on Eastern LI, chilly, but perhaps less wet. Starting off the morning, as I do many weekend days, with my customary Schöfferhofer.



Stay Safe, Semper Fi, and Sláinte!

 

Happy Monday BA's, 3 hours of OT complete. Looking forward to waxing a couple cars today. Today we remember and celebrate the lives of the many service members killed in action.
Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2021 will occur on Monday, May 31.Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season. Saison Dupont Ale to start today.

This is a composite from a very good movie about fallen solders being brought home. Everyone expects the big shock and awe when watching a war flick, this portrays the very, very important part of bringing the fallen ones home......

 

Happy Memorial Day, and thanks to all who served and continue to serve and protect.....my late brother and Dad among them - took my customary urns with flowers to the gravesites Sunday.....

Just back from a nice 2 miler with Emma, doing some clothes washing and other chores on my long "to do" list today

Beautiful sunny 84 degrees here in north central FL and I'm enjoying a fresh Focal Banger. First coat of paint guard applied to the Mustang, 1 hour wait then second application. Cheers mates!

The version of this video with Vietnam and Kent state pictures is age restricted and you can't share it .....wtf.

 

Morning beer while cleaning up from last night’s social gathering. Going to do some gardening later.

 

Finishing weekend with DC with a visit to the National Gallery of Art and visiting monuments, but first a breakfast beer, cheers!

 

Always nice.

 

Raising my glass on this Memorial Day. It is appropriately filled with Bud.
