    Vitus with some Italian wedding soup with sausage. I don't typically describe a beer as being delicious but this Vitus really is......to me.

    I bet 80 degrees feels a lot better than 25 and snow.

    This is a wheat IPA. Phoenix are brewery called SanTan named for the part of the valley it’s in. It’s really bitter and interesting. A bit full in mouth.

    Thanks to @JayORear I’m now drinking an Extra Vanilla Double Milkshake IPA from Tired Hands. It’s cognitive dissonance in a glass. Wow.

    Someone gave us a Felix the Cat clock for a wedding present. The eyes and tail moved back and forth. It was pretty neat.

    The standard line in a lot of stores is” did you find everything you were looking for?” If you say no the good ones will ask what they were missing.
