    It's been a while since I started the WBAYDN thread, but I cracked a Heady open a little while ago and just now I saw that it was time to start a new thread, so I cracked another one. Tabs up America and the rest of the world! Enjoy the day and knock back a cold one or two. Seriously, tabs up!

    Working on these two at 3am while I prep some mozzarella stuffed meatballs to cook tonight and wait for my GF to get home at 6 am from work. Not a bad day so far!

    Still Thursday for me and having a local beer. Local for me in this case means the beer still has to come here by ship being a State of multiple islands.

    This is another attempt at a pastel landscape; seriously it’s a difficult medium to work on:

    Thanks for opening the bar @tolar111 , hope all is well.

    Nice to @ramseye4 and @Troy-Hawaii this early as well, and I am enjoying your pastel @Shanex .

    May still go out later today now since it's beginning to thaw here, and or pull a new one tonight, but here is my Cellaruary selection there is no turning back from.

    Lagunitas Willettized (2019)

    Full Cellaruary take linked here. WBAYDN, all held on well except the mouthfeel which is watery at this stage, but as always very bourbon forward, where is the coffee (fresh or cellared)?

    This goes out to Mike @vabeerguy , hope all is well.

    Good morning Advocates,
    Yesterday my football team won a great victory in the UEFA (mafia) Europa League... the match was played at a shameful time, starting at 18:45, I entered the match after it had been going on for 23 minutes because, look at that..., I had to work. And even though I don't have a strict shift schedule, I could never have been on time for the time that the Lords have set for kick-off.
    Soon, the draw for the next round: either against a Basque team or the City Derby against Lazio.
    We are here and we are ready.
    In the meantime, last night, as soon as I got home I celebrated with a Double IPA from what I think is currently the best Italian producer of the genre (or rather, the one I like the most):

    Alder Beer Co. (Seregno, ITA) - ELMORE - Double IPA (8%).

    The usual 44 cl can will have cost me around €6/7.
    I didn't look at the dates on the bottom because I was tired and I ONLY wanted to drink Victory beer and then go back to work today without weighing down my psycho-physical condition further.
    Intense aroma of tropical fruit and citrus, "lagerized" golden color, little and soft foam.
    Medium/dense body, medium/low carbonation.
    In the mouth the bouquet explodes that was already invasive to the nose: white pulp fruit (white peach, ripe pear, coconut) and summer (passion fruit, pineapple, papaya) followed by a more decisive citrus (grapefruit, cedar) that closes the beer with a pleasant herbaceous bitterness (pine needles, light resin). In the palate it remains a nice fruitiness, I love it.
    Here is my review that I had already added to the database some time ago:

    Another day of “winter” temps here (low 50s now). Soon I’ll head to the beach where my brother and his wife are staying and take them to lunch. Should be sunny and fun. Have a great day y’all - Cheers!
