What beer are you drinking now? #4272

Two more days and off for a week and a half. Cheers all.

 

Well earned beer and yield. Do they harvest/pick earlier than traditional raspberries? mine were usually around 3rd week of July start till 2 week in August . They are beautiful

 

Cheers BA!!!!!
Happy Monday!!!!!!!

 

Some fresh Second Fiddle for dessert ..

 

Thanks! There are so many varieties of raspberries! I grew up where reds were the most common and they came later. We do have red ones that are an invasive, called wine berries, not big yield and not as tasty, and they are also out now. Did spot a nice patch of native reds about ready to open and ripen, I know exact location and will be back. This is normal time for blackcaps. Blackberries and dewberries will be in a week or two, if the deer leave me any haha. I'll be picking mushrooms hopefully at that point, I spotted first pins of chanterelles Fri. morning. Happy foraging!.

 

Best not show him posts by @FatBoyGotSwagger as then he’ll want a taste too.

 

Ahhhhh. Oranjeboom 'n stuff. Cheers!!

 

Collabs can be hit or miss in my experience, and this one is fortunately for this old beer nerd a hit - if you look up “dank hazy” in the beer nerd dictionary, there’s a picture of this beer. Absolutely love it.

 

Happy Monday!!!!!!!

The real reason @Todd moved to Finland

 

A stop at Saint Arnold Brewing this afternoon...sure why not...

Belgian Blonde Ale

A descent example of a Belgian Pale Ale/Blonde Ale. Though nothing particularly special. I'll write a review when I get a chance.


Then their H-Town Pils, slow pour. This is phenomenal. Still one of the best lagers in Texas IMO.

 

Also, from Saint Arnold, Elissa IPA on Cask. Yep this is old school classic, and as great as ever on cask.

The Fish & Chips are pretty legit as well

 

I forgot how much I like this IPA. Goes great with the venison summer sausage courtesy of son-in-law.

 

Oh Roy Orbison, I love thee...

I wasn't old enough to remember this, but this happened in my home town on my birthday, Sept 22, 1985. I was 2 years old. The first Farm Aid at Memorial Stadium at the University of Illinois. My parents always tell of how Roy, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, just happened to be walking down our block saying hi to everyone. So I guess I met them when I was 2 ha. Our house is four blocks from the stadium, apparently they just wanted to walk around and meet people.



Edit: For those wondering, the entire city was in College Football Tailgate mode. My Dad also worked for the newspaper. I think he "inadvertently" directed them to walk in the general area of our block ha.
