Liberation Pilsner with dinner. I roasted a pork loin last night, and the wife turned the leftovers into a pretty sweet South American flavored meal tonight.

 

Last Swami’s IPA for awhile, muled
this home in the suitcase. Appropriately enjoying it at the Ocean …..er, the Atlantic Ocean.

 

Vacay week kicks off with "Polish night"... I'll let you know after a few sips...

 

Groundwork IPA from Strong Side Brewing. Good brew ...



John Mayall with Mick Taylor - some great playing! Great solo by Buddy Whittington too, really an underrated player.

 

I decided to do a cellar pull today. I picked this up locally about a month ago. I will also be posting this in the cellar review thread.

The Path of the Angel - Clown Shoes Brewing - Boston, MA - American Brown Ale - 11.4%

It wasn't bad, but I bet it would be better fresh.

From a 22oz bottle. Bottled on 02/16/2018. Consumed on 07/08/2025

There was a nice hiss and a bit of smoke upon opening this 7 year old bottle of beer. The color is a fairly clear amber color with hints of brown in it. There's a lot of carbonation in this beer, way more than I'd expect from a beer this old. The head is, on the first part of the pour, 4 finger and tan in color. The head retention is decent. There's minimal lacing on the glass.
There's nutty notes to the aroma. There's some caramel notes. Since this beer is old, I am getting some wet cardboard notes. I am not getting barrel notes, but, again, the beer is old.
Well, there's a nice nutty flavor up front. The nutty flavor does last and does build toward the back. The nuts are added to by notes of caramel and a hint of chocolate. I am also getting some oak and vanilla notes from the barrel. Since this beer is a vintage, I do get some wet cardboard notes, but they aren't too distracting.
The beer is quite bubbly on my tongue. The beer has a crisp feeling to it. Nice fullness to the body. There's a faint burn on the back from the ABV.
This is not a bad beer by any stretch of the imagination, but I wouldn't recommend putting age on it. I have never had it fresh, but I bet it is better fresh.

 

Very nice.

Doc, if they have their Deep 6 beers for sale, I'd recommend getting them. We can not get them here at the Warroad, MN location.

 

My bad. I knew I should have posted Runnin’ With The DEVO!

 

Mrs. Wood chipper is cooking up the shells for Taco Tuesday. I'm in charge of the fillings but I need some motivation.

 

Proto New World Pilsner from Real Ale Brewing

 

Testing out a new mug. Cheers.

 

Nice mug shot

That is a nice mug, I like the tall slender ones like that. Handle looks perfectly sized too. Enjoy!

 

Oh, does that sound like a banger!

 

Another one of these.
