    Got all my supplies to do my first homebrew tomorrow, and drinking this to finish of the night. First time having it, a pretty decent IPA.

    Congrats on it being your first time. I'm yet to do it. Doubt it'll happen since I drink coffee in the morning.

    Started with a year old Zhukov. Absolutely fantastic tobacco and dark fruit notes with a bitter chocolate finish. This is definitely one of the more tobacco prevalent beers. Even on the nose
    [​IMG]
    Next was rum barrel Zhukov. This was actually amazing. Really sweetened out the base flavors and made it more of a milk chocolate finish. Of the four of us, this edged out reg Zhukov. Really well balanced and delicious.

    Thanks @Daniel719 it was fantastic.

    Night capped with this guy. Nice citrusy notes. Pretty solid IPA

    While rooting in my cellar earlier, I found a few more old Lake Erie Monsters. Now my drinking is planned for today and tomorrow - was drinking this when I found them:

    Hanging out at home, one of the younger members of the Channel 9 news team is sick. A big lunch beer sounded good. Had 9 of these in the basement. I'm more of an even numbers kind of guy. Should make the housework more enjoyable.

    Just cracking it open... should make YARDWORK more enjoyable. Hoping it's not as hoppy as people say it is -- hoppy IRS's bother me a little bit generally... if I wanted a hoppy dark beer, I'd drink a Black IPA.

    I think I came in with really high expectations for this one. It's a very solid beer with a unique taste. Great IPA, but doesn't stand with Jai Alai, Sculpin, or 60 Minute in my opinion. Though I've got another one in the fridge so we'll see how the second one goes down.

    Took off work early to mow and trim the lawn, supposed to be sunny and 83 today! mowed the lawn in a light sprinkle, sun finally came out and did my trimming, now it has clouded back up and looks like more rain! (so much for sunny and 83) Still enjoying the day, regardless, and a Tallgrass Halcyon Unfiltered Wheat.

    I think it is a nice balance. I like my bourbon, and it is pretty prominent, but I think a little less so than Wulver. If you reversed the coffee to bourbon flavor ratio in 14 KBS that is my best way to describe it.

    Doing a bit of day drinking while watching the Man City v. Aston Villa match, with the assistance of our friends at Cisco, who've provided us with this season's iteration of Summer of Lager. Very nice. Here's one in it's natural habitat:

    [​IMG]

    Here at the end of the season I'm hoping for Manchester to win this match and at least pull a draw on the last so as to prevent Liverpool FC from winning the Premier League title, not because I love Man City but because I'm a spiteful Everton supporter. This is far more info than you need, of course, so let's just say, hey, Manchester, you're alright. You gave us the Buzzers, for instance.

    What's better than a day off in the middle of the week?
    Especially when it's a beautiful spring day. With a round of golf. Then lunch with my wife at The Portsmouth Brewery.
    I'm celebrating the day with a schwarzbier from Agner and Wolf. Very nice. Sorry, picture not available.
    Cheers everyone!
