    Full review in the New Beer Weekend thread, which I hope you can join us in. This is a very nice light refreshing Wild Ale. Southbound to grab a few things at the grocery and an Italian Beef from my favorite Chicago (ok Harwood Heights) joint (Jay's Beef).

    Was asleep for the WXRT 1979 Flashback so looking forward to sampling these songs.

    Seems like old times, though this time it was self-inflected.

    Opened the fridge with intentions of reviewing a new beer, but old tried and true here was just too tempting today.

    His and hers: Escapades Blueberry Maple Pancake from Thompson Island Brewing and a tasty classic IPA from Columbus Brewing.

    Killing time waiting for Thing 2 so we can finish loading the vehicles and head out of this one pony town.

    Guardians of Ethos a Triple NEIPA from Greek brewery Seven Islands in collaboration with Alesmith (9.3%).

    This is very much your typical, sweet'ish fruit salad New England IPA, which I'm not generally a huge fan of, but is just so well done here, with the sweetness never feeling cloying and not a hint of booziness to this either, with a very soft and pillowy mouthfeel as well.

    I went to the Cloudwater tap takeover at my local craft beer bar yesterday, which I was really looking forward to, mainly because I wanted to talk to the brewery rep there, but of course I didn't manage to actually do that, which still pisses me off. At least the beer was great, better be at 30€/l though. There's a reason I usually never go to that place.

    Westmalle is widely available in most supermarkets here in NL (around 2 €/$). Otherwise I would not have been so rude with the Westmalle.
    Coincidentally I was just playing the Kat Edmonson tunes in your post. Extra like for the tunes!
    Nice glass too by the way. I had a Unibroue glass when I was in Vancouver BC for two months in 2016. I still regret I did not bring it home. Whish I had it now ofcourse :slight_smile:
    Cheers!

    I’m starting the bottle share with Tripping Animals’ “King of Everything” a TIPA with Citra, Mosaic, Azacca & Marshmallow:

    Juicy orange and pillowy feeling. Slightly astringent (alcohol?). Still very good!

    And I brought a DoctorZombies’ Magical Elixer’s “Honey Blossom Show Mead” (2016):

    We’re off to a great start! Cheers!

    This is a pretty solid lager in my book.

    Ha, I was thinking more about how I typically pour a beer, which is very aggressive. Beer foam would be all over the place if I tried to pour into that (just out of my habit), and then the cup would have started to dissolve and it would be a huge mess :slight_smile:

    Glad you like Kat Edmonson, one of my favorites. She is from Houston, and would always frequent the local record store I would go to. Cause one, the owner Fred was awesome (passed away last year) and two cause Fred's wife was her high school teacher. So he always got a bunch of promotional stuff, and goodies nobody else would get. I always went with Fred and his wife to see Kat play whenever she came back to Houston, hoping she comes back again soon.
