What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4100

Grilled some sweet sausages and now it’s time for a beer. Happy Thursday.

 

Shrimp taco prep underway and chips and queso heating up. What else but another beer and some tequila. The wifes off tomorrow, works sat/sun then off for MLK day. Time for her to relax and chill, Torpedo.

 

This one does not let you down.

 

After dinner Celebration IPA



I made some country style pork ribs with Fresno chilies in the slow cooker today.



@HoppingMadMonk - I cooked the squash a little different this time, it was really good. Here's the basic recipe, but you can mess with it - add a little salt if you'd like. I don't eat a lot of salt so I didn't add any.

1 medium sized acorn squash sliced into 1/2 inch half moons

1-2 TBSP Olive oil

1 TBSP brown sugar

2 TBSP maple syrup

Red chili flakes to taste

Add sliced squash to a bowl. Add all of the other ingredients and then mix with your hands to coat everything well (I wear gloves, makes for easy clean up).

Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, flip the pieces over and bake for another 20 minutes.

I line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent the squash from sticking.

One from the archives since Covid seems to be rearing its ugly head again.

 

Jucifer. An IPA brewed by Gnarly Barley. New beer for me. Store had just two six packs left. I should’ve bought both.

 

Been a while since I Celebrated!



Cheers!

 

El Churro, a pastry stout (brewery's words, not mine) brewed with cinnamon and vanilla, from Crooked Stave in Denver. First beer from them for me - don't think I've seen their stuff in the Chicago area. Was part of a mixed six pack that my brother-in-law gave me over the holidays. The cinnamon is dominant - maybe even overbearing - and it's not particularly sweet. Not bad though.

 

Mussells look too good!

 

Equal Parts Nocturna Porter in the glass.

Nick Drake, Five Leaves Left spinning. Just a complete masterpiece...oh, wait, he did that like three times in a row. This was just the first masterpiece

Food looks really good,will have to try the squash although the pork looks excellent.
Nice tunes,despite the miserable topic its based on

 

They were pretty damn good, and filling. They did not skimp, which some other places around town are tending to do now, unfortunately. I will only get mussels now here at Better Luck Tomorrow, and my favorite Belgian beer bar, Cafe Brussels.

 

Good evening for a second beer.

 

I agree. I hauled back a 4-pack. Cheers!

Whammin' down this Bauhaus Zizkov Pils. A good buddy told me Tues Eve that he had this on tap over the past wknd and he's now in love with it. No arguments here. Cheers!!

 

Mussels look great as do the fries and the base broth below.
