What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4155

Good record! I got to see Sparklehorse live in St. Pete, FL.,. they opened, killed it, then came a very young Avril Lavigne, Dishwalla, and headliners were Live.,. interesting lineup and a cool outdoor festival show.,.

I just loaded that album into the Apple Music queue. Thanx & Cheers!

 

12oz Second Fiddle. I love the 12oz format for DIPAs

 

Good. But not That goood.

And this is not a sign off, sorry.

 

Wow, that it is a strange line up! Would have loved to see them live.

 

Amen to the sunblocks. Eight skin cancers and I lost track of the pre skin cancers (actinic keratosis).

 

Cheers!
Jefferson Airplane After Bathing At Baxter’s (Indianapolis Pressing) (Inner Sleeve) 1967 RCA Victor EX

 

That album is some heavy shit!

Cheers!

 

Watching the end of the UConn Marquette game. Rooting for UConn since Marquette failed me on Saturday. Up 1.2 - 1.5 units depending on who wins. I bet both sides and come out ahead either way #thanksprofitboosts.

Went to Total Wine today and they had so many beers I wanted to buy that were well beyond their age. Glad I went in and didn't place an online order. On the flip side I did find a Peche Mortel from 2022. They had 2 but I only bought one since I'm not sure how it's aged in a retail environment.

Another pickup from today and probably the only beer tonight is a Kuhnhenn White Devil Imperial White Ale. Never had this one before but it's damn good. Tastes like a Witbier and clocks in at 9%. Dangerous.

 

was so happy to see him Solo, especially the second time when they played less Alice

 

I am trying to catch up, Pretty much killed my Dad

 

Good luck, Russ.
~15 years ago, the boss-emeritus(Art McL) went in for that (@68?) . Doc opened him up, took one look , & said no-go. He had fallen through a greenhouse roof, (while repairing cracked glass**) & quickly reacted, & went spread-eagle, to prevent worse injury. (He was ~6'4"/260lb)
I separated rt shoulder, long ago, playing JHS football, before Tommy John surgery was available to us peons. Have re-injured it many times. Given Art M.'s experience, (& the presumed expense) I haven't explored any surgery.
Again, good luck! Hope it works out.

If run-of-the-mill AALs were this good... (I probably wouldn't be here, but that's another story....) , I would get them more often.
New one from Beer Tree, & is apparently going to be a new flagship for them. Good choice!

The corn smell normally turns me off, sometimes to the point of nausea, but here, it smells wonderful. (As I say in the review...) It smells a lot like Grandma W.'s corn pudding, made fresh, from freshly-harvested corn*. In the taste, it's a light, complimentary element, not the dominant flavor.

* Grandpa W. , despite multiple strokes, and phlebitis in his left leg, always made sure to have some corn growing. (I helped when I could) Even (as my late dad often noted) if it took him 1/2day/row, he always got enough in, in a succession of varieties, to last all summer, & put enough away to last til next year's harvest.

** A couple times, I was close, when cracked glass slid down, & off greenhouses. The edges were rough, & unfinished, so very sharp. Imagine an out-of-control cabbage slicer, ambushing you, by surprise.

 

Got a good grip and I'm not letting go.

 

I work in Medical, so I believe I go in with open eyes. Ya never know

 

I though this was a house beer here, but it turns out it’s widely distributed in the Midwest.

That's back when SNL was good and worth watching.

 

Finishing up the evening with some Frenz. A collaboration of four top- shelf Pacific Northwest brewers.

 

They have the dunkel for 5$ here. After my last weihenstephener though, it's hard to justify. Damn good, but better options... Though no one does lager like Germany , sorry bohemia.
