    Accent Lighting Czech Pale Lager from Solaris Beer

    Seems to be a large chunk of hops or something I hope is vegetal at bottom of the glass. So full of tiny floaties it appears frosted. Faint aroma of malt and something green. Taste is rather plain but hoppy and then bitter. I'm not going to drink more than a couple sips with all the gunk in the glass, but it seems okay. I am always interested to try lower-alcohol beers to see how much flavor and sensation the brewers can come up with.

    Barrique Shapes of Silence, a BA strong ale comprised of a 35 month Vienna malt ale and a BBA wheat stout, aged for an extra 12 months. This is probably Joel's magnum opus, until he has a new location. I've never had a beer that is so beautifully smooth and delicious with so much character, from vanilla to every shade of chocolate and cocoa, fantastic red fruits, a little coffee bitterness, and a sticky but not overly sweet finish and zero burn on the tongue but a hot finish in the chest. This is a legendary strong ale. I gave him a barleywine as a bottle to share and he said it was alright, but to try this, and slid me a glass of Shapes. It was so much better in every way. It wasn't ego, it was just that good.

    That paper route I had normally took 20 - 25 minutes to deliver all 80 papers. The first day the paper was published after the blizzard took over 2 hours. The streets were literally tunnels with snow piled up 8 feet on either side on main thoroughfares. Snow plows wouldn't work - the city used "Michigan loaders" (front-end loaders) to clear the streets. Never seen anything like it.

    Garage Beer Lime. Very respectable light beer, great citrus vibrancy and a clean lager base beer. Just a tiny bit waterier than expectations.

    I was living in Buffalo when the mayor went on TV and said, “Grab a six pack and sit back. It’s going to be a while,” Jimmy Griffin. That was a good pile of snow.

    Holy crap that brings back vivid memories of walking through major snow storms to deliver the nj herald news. I grew up when I could go missing for hours and no one thought to worry.

    Man, I remember crazy snowfalls in Alberta growing up where the drifts were so high we could walk right onto the roof of our school. Sometimes our front doors wouldn't open because of overnight snowfall.
