I’m still drinking Devil Child by Evil Twin, a 12.4% English Barleywine from last night. A wolf in maple clothing. Cheers!

New Ozzy. With Jeff Beck?!?

by Act25 At Healdsburg CA, near the source, everyone serves Pliny (at weddings, Bardiva, SFO Uncorked, Mill Valley) etc, and it’s tempting to stick to this perfect legend where it’s so fresh.

Did a MTB ride which ended in the rain. Spotted also a deer which is rare in these parts . 8)

First time Im having this dutch trappist. Nice semi bitter finish.

 

Thanks, @cjgiant I didn't want to learn where the keys are kept. My fez came without the code.

It's time for a Hooker after stopping by the Galway Cathedral. It is the newest cut stone cathedral, built in 1965. Here's the rose from inside and outside.


and the nave.

Slainte!

 

Happy Saturday BA's! I trust everyone made it thru Friday night safely. I got to sleep in until 0630 today, then Home Depot trip, Laundry, Loaded the trailer with yard limbs and debris, and now a beer! Brooklyn Brewery Pulp Art hazy IPA. It's a really nice brew, similar to the taste of some of the VooDoo's.......It's supposed to be a nice 90 today and sun early. Yesterday's 112 heat index has to be the hottest I've ever felt in the 50 years I've lived in FL (less US Army 6 years).

 

Cheers!

 

Poppy's favorite from the ol' sod.

 

A little brown ale. Not strong in taste, it's ok, but the head is extraordinary, had to leave some the bottle.

 

112 degrees is kha-razy hot! We just had a couple record breaking hot days here that got up to 105 heat index. I do not do well in that heat and the only way I stay balanced is to have a beer in each hand. Cheers!

 

Happy Saturday BA's

Another toasty one in store here with temps to be in the low 90's - may need to get out on the lake for a swim later!

In the meantime.....



a buddy stopped over last evening and we were messing around with this vintage 19 ft long Hawaiian built surf ski I bought a few years ago - he fits in the the tiny ass grabbing cockpit easier than I do!
