    Laugh at Good Charlotte as much as you want, this tune couldn’t sum up my high school days better albeit not American.

    Sailors Grave - Drowned Man IPA

    This is an Australian session IPA that I picked without realizing what it was, or from where. I simply pointed at it in the fridge behind the bar and it was given to me by the bar woman. Can't tell when it was canned, but it tasted reasonably fresh. Cheers.

    Nice one! That's from a brewery in Orbost, alongside the mighty Snowy River in Victoria (well, mighty for an Australian river), and the setting of a famous 19th-century poem by an Aussie called Banjo Patterson, The Man from Snowy River:

    There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
    That the colt from old Regret had got away,
    And had joined the wild bush horses - he was worth a thousand pound,
    So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
    All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far
    Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
    For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are,
    And the stockhorse snuffs the battle with delight.


    Another 12 stanzas follow, and if you're into evocative 19th-century imaging, give it a look!

    Cheers!

    TDHSSR, by West Coast Brewing in Japan, a bitter, dieselly and vegetal triple-dry-hopped hazy. Unfortunately a bit of a chore to drink after those last three descriptors got tossed into the glass.

    The beer was made bearable nonetheless by watching Geelong have their first win for the season in the Australian Football League after an inglorious first three weeks as the reigning premier. Still, go Cats!

    Cheers!

    Good day BAs! Thanks @RaulMondesi for starting today's thread!

    29 F/-2 C here right now - the frost is on the bumpkins and the street-sleeping fathers are in shock. Dead dishwasher (only the third in 45 years) so it looks like some shopping later today. Excellent brew for New Breakfast Beer today - after yesterday's disappointing and very atypical for the brewer POS I owed myself a good one!

    Damn good! The habaneros are just hot enough without being obnoxious and are highlighted by the bourbon and barrel. Even the vanilla is noticeable! Cinnamon rolls in on the aftertaste. And it's got a bonus lizard on the label! Wish I'd bought a case rather than just a couple of bottles! Rating 4.3, rDev -4%

    Wolfbräu - Adult Wolf Altbier

    This is from a tiny brewery based in Naha, Okinawa, despite the German sounding name.

    I'm drinking Japanese beer in America, that was an American offering at the time of packaging. Inspired by the Bell's conversation in yesterday's WBAYDN thread and beyond with @Blogjackets

    Bells Expedition Stout (9/30/20)

    [​IMG]

    I pulled my last six pack from the cellar last month. Full treatment in the cellar review thread. My take for here is this held up well in proper cellar conditions the past 2 1/2 years, but prefer this over the first 12 months. Hope we get these in the future.

    The Veil is coming the The Green Lady tomorrow @vabeerguy ,all but one selections offered tomorrow in the hazy or imperial IPA realm. Not sure if this is a one time deal or if they will start dropping in our market. Any Veil favorites you recommend Mike? Have other plans tomorrow, but may stop by Wednesday if anything remains on tap.

    It is great to hear Veil brews will be available there! What is interesting is that Veil does not distribute, to my knowledge, in Virginia other than at their breweries.

    Veil has released close to 1,000 brews (many retired) and I have had close to 200 of them. There are dozens I would recommend but they may not be available at the moment since very few are released on a regular basis. Usually they tweak many and rename them. My favorite Veil style though is their double IPAs.

    Thank you Sir, much obliged. It's likely a one time drop. Didn't know The Veil is women owned, though it makes sense. The Green Lady is as well.

    I will focus on their DIPA, greengreenferrariferrari and their Coalesce Czech Style Pils, and perhaps a sippy cup Hazy NWIPA if I have the good fortune of making it down there tomorrow or Wednesday.

    Featuring:
    New Mirage4 4x the Hops Hazy IPA
    Black & Blue Tastee Smoothie Sour
    Dirt Nap Hazy DIPA
    Coalesce Czech-Style Pils
    greengreenferrariferrari: Enhanced DIPA

    I was that stuffed from the pub lunch yesterday I just wanted my bed when I got home & not beer despite having a solitary pint of bitter.
    So will put my chill playlist on, a couple of ales now, a toasted butter hot cross bun, then snooze it all off till supper to be ready for work tomorrow
