    Greetings advocates.

    Guinness Special Export… I have this glass for a reason after all. Enjoy you Friday, cheers!

    Good video! A few of those at around $20k? (Pretty greedy.) I agree with what he said with the Blue finishes. My Pat Martino is a one-off Custom Shop (Blue) and it's WAY too dark which is unfortunate. If the light is bright enough the guitar pops and will blow your mind, but under normal lighting conditions it's so dark it hugs the line between deep Navy and borderline black. I love my three pick-up configurations but if I were going for another Les Paul the holy grail would be a late 70's early 80's Custom in Alpine White. I don't know what it is about that color, it's just Classic bad butt and love how it yellows with age! :heart_eyes:

    Yes, I agree about the blue colors. I have the same issue with my Kiesel Frank Gambale custom model - it's got a beautiful flamed top, but the blue is so dark you don't really see it unless the lighting is just right.

    I agree with you about those Alpine white LPS, they are just absolutely gorgeous guitars and age beautifully

    I'll be back later with a beer in hand - far too early in these parts for me, plus I have a fairly busy day of work ahead of me.

    3 Monts Saison - which is a first for me. Turning out to be good but not saison DuPont good, not Boulevard Tank 7 (farmhouse ale) good either.

    Just got back from a walk alongside the river, under mild and sunny sky:

    G'day all!

    Well, the mild Winter continues in Casper. A far cry from last year.

    I bought a Howler of Snake River Zonker Stout Nitro yesterday and it is tasting very good. I must add that the Growler station at Liquor Shed is a mere shadow of what it once was. Mostly local beers and some are decidedly not good.

    Prost!

    I went to their online store, put a few items in the cart and then...backed off. Too pricey, imho, and no original Fred.

    I had the strange impression the Duvel was trying to tempt me (with a 25% discount) the other day ...

    Good day BAs! Thanks @Shanex for starting today's thread! @Bitterbill - totally agree - it looks like they're trying to recoup their storage costs and are just trading on their rep. And @Beer-Panda, your photo's got me twitching!

    Well, I'm running late today - slept in, then went to the tire shop to get a slow leak repaired. Got home and Mrs Lizard is still asleep - I went grocery shopping with her yesterday and wore her out. So, today's late New Brunch Beer, thanks to @snaotheus and his overwhelming ninja strike:

    Final impression and summation: 4.25 The chilis have become dominant, overwhelming any other flavors formally present, except for the initial chocolate and the terminal cinnamon. Still, chilis rule. Thanks Ryan!

    A boozy (13%) beer in the nose and on the tongue…caramel, chocolate, brandy. Not sweet nor adjuncty. Apples on backend. I really like! Cheers y’all!
