    Happy Thursday!

    It'll be Friday here in a little over five hours, which means the working week is almost done. Such good news deserves an IPA, so IPA it is: Plonk Grapefruit IPA by Aether Brewing, a brewery located in Brisbane and brewed in collaboration with a bottleshop in Canberra. Both cities are about 1200km or 750 miles apart; you'd think they could find a closer partner for collaboration, but such is the tyranny of distance in Oz.

    The can itself is a little over 10 months old so most of the grapefruit is gone but the caramel malts and dank, bitter hops balance beautifully. Luckily I have another in the fridge for the weekend.

    Cheers!

    And here's some classic Guns n Roses to help wash away the working week.

    The long weekend is perhaps mankind's greatest invention, after beer of course. Enjoy your day; I insist you drink a quad in celebration, and if it's not posted here you didn't drink it! :grin:

    Cheers!

    Good day BAs! Thanks @AzfromOz for starting off today's beerabration! Apparently it's some sort of three-day weekend here as well, but ours runs Sat - Mon. (I think, since I retired I only know date/time through my computer)
    Well, yesterday worked out well - got the garden tilled and the yard mowed, as well as some minor indoor labors. Today, besides being laundry day, I'm off to join a local water study group to do some field biology. Maybe I'll be able to plant part of my garden as well, before it rains.
    Today's New Breakfast Beer:

    An Irish Red Ale, courtesy @woemad and NBS BIF #15. This is a style I used to drink fairly regularly but from which I've moved past. Overall, not bad. Just not exciting. Rating 3.47, rDev -11.3%.

    3 Monts Biere Nouvelle.
    @Shanex have you tried this one. Only available in bombers and on tap I believe.
    Perfectly chilled at 6°C (that is 42.8 degrees Fahrenheit). The 3 Mont website is rather specific about having this beer at a low temperature. I used the @DoctorZombies method just to check :slight_smile:
    Nice! Off to my second pour after I finished this post.
    Cheers all

    This beer was hiding in my fridge. It's a year old today, so I figured I ought to drink it.

    @Reidrover - You can copy and paste the URL link from Vimeo or YouTube and the video will appear. I usually scrub my youtube videos through www.viewpure.com to avoid others from having to watch youtube ads (I have ad blockers, so no ads on 99.9% of what I do.

    Listening to Miles and Miles of Miles today, on his 96th anniversary, featured all overnight and day today on WDCB. Perhaps @champ103 will spin an album or two for us in honor of this Downstate Illinois Legend!
