    I try not to host back to back, but I've been enjoying this for a quarter hour, and not sure Shanex or others will be around before I finish this great Specialty Saison from Averie Swanson who is working with her team to have Keeping Together ready for their Grand Opening on March 21st.

    This beer was like me born and raised in Chicago. Her new place is in Santa Fe and already opened with soft open hours if you are in the area and able to check it out. Maybe we can get a live onsite report from @lordofthewiens !

    Full Cellaruary take linked here. Bottom line, this transitioned from sharp flavors (the sharp aromas remain) into a smooth mellow Saison with a little funk. Enjoying now, should have drank more back then, which is usually the case with beers over a half decade old. Have to go to the Apple Store in about 12 hours to likely replace my iPad that I accidently broke the home button. If I'm in the mood, I will return with a few beers either in downtown and or off the Clybourn stop.

    Live now on WDCB, this a day after further review indicates Kurt Cobain was likely murdered.

    Good day Jason and yeah Shanex is never too far off the VB to start it when he can but sometimes Chicago -> Paris.

    Drinking Kasteel Donker after a medical appointment. All is looking good and I’m healthy so I’ll drink to that.

    Holy Boss Pour! This should be classified as abuse against Pliny The Elder. But that's OK. Abuse is tolerated these days.

    That is far too young. I’m truly sorry you lost your dad at 57.

    I lost mine in November 2023. He battled cancer for five years. Watching someone you love fight that long leaves a mark, but it also shows you what strength looks like.

    So today, let’s raise a glass to our dads. To their fight, their memory, and everything they gave us that still lives on.

    Good morning BAdvocates. Went on a very short wheeler ride earlier before I had to get started on my computer work. Had some rain last night that coupled with some fireplace smoke and made for an excellent outdoor smell.

    Now back at home drinking a pFriem IPA.

    Cheers everyone! :beers:
