    It's Friday!

    And to add to the celebration I had my 20-month post-cancer all-clear today, so I deserve this extremely tasty NEIPA from Stoic Brewing, located an hour or so south of Sydney in Australia. This one looked like a Pina Colada, smelled like white rum and pineapple, and presented strawberries, watermelon and spicey pineapple on the tongue. The mouthfeel was thick and unctuous and perfectly suited the rest of the package. A very tasty beer!

    So 20 months on I am still here and still drinking beer, so fuck you, cancer.

    cheers!

    Howdy errr, Good day Aussie mate!

    Yeet, I am again drinking Leffe Tripel. Nowhere the quality other Belgian triples can be, still a worthy and cheap one.

    We’re Friday by the way. Vendredi or Freitag. Best day of the friggin week. TGIF!

    Yesterday evening I was hanging out at a friends place for a few cold ones, and he asked if I could buy him this bottle of rum this morning, which I just did. I don’t know much if anything about rum but he seems to like it…

    Congratulations on being cancer free. I had esophageal cancer in 2008, with stage IV recurrences in 2011 and 2019. I know how good it feels to get clean test results back. Enjoy your beer you deserve it.

    Good on you and FUCK cancer.

    Good day BAS! Thanks, @AzfromOz, for starting today's thread and congratulations on your recent cancer-clear rating. Indeed, FUCK CANCER!

    Today's New Breakfast Beer, a polite IPA made with Hallertau and Mandarina hops:

    [​IMG]

    Really nice use of hops - at six months old this is still very drinkable as well as desirable. If the hops have died off, this must have been really aggressive when fresh. Rating 3.5, rDev -9.1%

    @AzfromOz thanks for kicking off the thread, and congratulations!

    I'm kicking off my Horns Up Friday with a little "juice" while cooking breakfast. :grinning:

    Normal day off stuff complete, threw in a haircut today. Another rainy warm day here, everything is covered with yellow pollen and nasty as hell. The pool deck feels like is squishes underneath your feet. Crooked Stave Trellis Buster IPA. Don't forget the time change tomorrow night.....

    Nice! And yes he’s more a rum drinker than the beer connoisseur I claim to be. :slight_smile:

    Though I introduced him to beers for many years now and he does appreciate the more Blonde or pale ale style…. Cheers!

    I agree and love you guys! We lost my wife's brother Ernie In Jan 2020 to throat cancer. He and I had so many plans for when we were both retired, build us a cabin in NH, hunt, fish, camp, drink beer, etc......all stolen from us. I've been seen around town more than once wearing this tee shirt and always get thumbs up.......

    It's 36 degrees and snowing. Looks like no golf for me today.
    The fallback plan is to drink beer and watch college basketball.

    The first of three planned Firestone Walker cellar beers this weekend.

    Full review here. WBAYDN treatment, sweeter and more malty than expected at this stage, though it all comes together well, and I enjoyed the honey aspect.

    First go at "Horns Up Friday", will give you two "oldies" selections from the OG Horns Up from the world of Metal.

    Ronnie James Dio

    Back with an afternoon sipper.

    Cheers to @ChicagoJ throwing the horns up with me! I'm also throwing it back a little bit - to an album that was released before my wife was born! :astonished:


    \m/ \m/

    This song has been in my head for two days. If my recovery were going quicker (it's going well, just not quick), I'd be in the basement jamming on my electric bass (this is not a song that I think would go well on the acoustic bass, even mechanically). It'll have to wait.

    Cheers!
