    Another Cellar Pull, restoring my one home beer a day goal after five days of multiple beers to enjoy two Beer Advocate tastings plus a Revolution Brewery visit.

    Revolution Straight Jacket (Canned October 27, 2022)

    Full cellar review take linked here. Bottom line, this is a rare vintage / pour that shows some oxidation, unlike 95% of refrigerated older beers that typically stand the test of time. Drink your beers fresh!

    Jackets definitely required here until it gets back over 20 F likely sometime in early February. I hate the below 20 F cold and ICE.

    Another revolution coming Jason?

    I’m late to the party as far as Christmas beers are concerned but early in the thread. Delirium Christmas:

    Think the best each of us can do to improve the world is do good for yourself, your family and other loved ones, and extend to your community.

    People here talk about supporting local beer, and I'd extend that to supporting local businesses who produce good products and are good people when given the option.

    Really nice your shared your father's visit yesterday, I hope his joyful visits increase over time and become cherished memories.

    Getting an early start here (2 pm) in Madrid because my weekend has arrived (3 days off work is great, not gonna lie). Went by an Asian market to pick up some stuff, including this Thai beer. Nothing special but could easily pound these during the summer/warm weather. The market is also kind of a self serve restaurant where you pick out ingredients to spice up your ramen, but I chose to have it “para llevar” so I could ‘Eat at Home’.

    Just living that life. It’s still early in the afternoon but a nice little draft pour of Karmeliet and Mojito for her.

    Good day BAs! Thanks @ChicagoJ for opening the bar! I'd love to have easy access to Revolution brews - but parking on the Dan Ryan for two+ hours last year cured me of driving anywhere near Chicago.

    Today's New Breakfast Beer:

    [​IMG]

    Feed ‘Em to the Pigs from Riverside Brewing. 16 fl oz can from M & M Beer, Hermitage, PA. Picked up 10/01/26, in reefer at distributor. $ 4.50 (including tax) ($ 0.281/fl oz). Reviewed 22/01/26, review 3679.
    Final impression and summation: 3 (After deducting 0.25 point for an undated personal container) Uncredited but quite grabbing label art – made me think of a movie. Bland, tasteless, slightly bitter, watered down alcohol.
    Rating 3.08, rDev 0% (First review)

    We are about to get a massive (at least for us) storm, so made some beef stew. Nice and warming on a cold day.

    Im having some dinner now that we’re approaching 7 pm here (jury is out on if I have supper later in addition), and also having the devils brew. This is a Belgian blond (guess the ABV lol) and oddly, it smells a lot like a west coast IPA. It is very citrus forward flavor wise and while I like it a lot, I could see the arguments for comparison to a lemon dish soap. At least some cilantro (which I love) adjacent flavors, and again, similar to a west coast IPA if you subtracted the hoppy bitterness but kept the remaining flavor profile.
    Quite good.

    Already got loads more crap done on my remodel project early today. Ran out of drywall joint compound so a beer is most def needed. Basically I made the executive decision to not demo the entire room but rather to leave some wall sections alone and simply tie them into the new drywall that's next. There are 2 passage doors and a 2 door closet. All I gotta do is sip beer (pre-fill:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) tape and skim.
    @Blogjackets I'm poppin' the top of Pipeworks BA Hyper Dog 13.5% itty bitty units of ABV
    Awesome. Just fantastic. loads of oak bbl and choco, as smooth as ass, tasty & well-placed med-heavy bourbon notes. Cheers brother!! And Cheers BAs:beers:

    Today, it's sunny, but windy and very cold, with snow squalls, out here in McGregor--but both cats Gracie and Sundae were quite happy to help me investigate the day's new brews: First, with Sundae, it's my fifteenth beer from Burlington, Ontario's Nickel Brook Brewing Co.--their 4.1% Vamonos! Lime Lager...

    More beer thoughts shortly! Cheers, from snowbound McGregor! =)
