    Draft Money...

    Super-happy with how things worked out for NY - could ya imagine Big Blue with a running game again? And arguably the best QB in the draft to a Jets team that has needed a quarterback for decades? Real cool - although, I kinda liked the idea of Mayfield for the Jets, but maybe this is better... Hey, even the NY Bills (lol) got themselves a QB...

    Cheers...

    Good evening BAs! Gotta sip a few brews during the NFL Draft right? It's a rhetorical question.

    Really liking the Hop Butcher Mega Bite. Big tropical fruit, grassy, slight pine. Moderate bitterness. And love the can stamp...

    The long awaited replacement for Cornerstone IPA. This was awesome! Awesome lasting head retention and thick soapy lacing on the glass. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper, and pine hops; with moderate honey, toasted bread, light caramel malt balance; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; balanced creamy/bready malts and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing lingering bitter dryness, minimal hop astringency. Easy drinking, though a bit aggressive. 6.5%. Really impressive stuff as I hoped. All Centennial and Citra hops. Extremely juicy and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. Glad I got the 4 pack. Love the hop profile as expected. 4.13

    Very nice overall. Good head retention/lacing on the glass. Flavors of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, hazelnuts, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, marshmallow, fudge, cake batter, and dark/brown bread; with light notes of toffee, and herbal/peppery hops. Similar/muted aromas. Mild herbal/roast bitterness on the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full body; nice creamy/silky/bready malt mouthfeel; light sticky hops and chalky roast. Lightly increasing lingering hop/roast dryness. No cloying flavors. Very smooth, zero warming alcohol. Very well balanced all around. Nice richness with good presence of the hazelnuts, and a spot on base imperial milk stout malt profile. At 8.5%, I wasn't expecting a thick beer. It does well at the ABV. Maybe a bit thin, but nothing to complain about. 3.88

    Deep River Brewing Chowdah NEIPA. This is an IPA not a double at 7.2abv. All sweet fruit on the pour, followed by bitter, just like an IPA should. Lots of floating uglies in this one, in different colors. I love this stuff, if your adverse to floaties just avoid.

    Worrying about being of sound mind is the last thing you should do. You might just confuse everyone. Be yourself ! Enjoy all the festivities of the wedding. I assume you have duties other than keeping the beer flowing.

    How is life, had the best day in months today. My wife and I are avid gardeners and after last wknds 12" of snow it was nice enough to get out and start spring cleanup. I need at least another wk of decent weather to get through the first round.

    How are you young fella ?

    As I understand it, this “day” had no issues and was part of the “week” release a couple of weeks ago. Cheers!

    ''Tis true . Daughter #2 wedding is May 5th and I have no idea what the hell my role is. Am told I have to give a welcome speech and a toast. Usually, I can do these thing sort of drunk but I am thinking maybe this is not a good idea.

    It's Fiesta time in San Antonio. Schools are closed tomorrow for the Battle of Flowers parade. Nice to see Real Ale throw 2 of these bottles in their new IPA mix pack. Delicious.
