smokinjoe Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Heineken to help me try and a start to clear my brain of the bizzaro world dumbfuckery that came across my late afternoon email screen. It was so stoopid, I’m afraid I’ll need something stronger behind this… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Stunningly beautiful day here in Mayretta. Huge blue skies, brilliant sunshine, Azaleas starting to bloom, and temps creeping into the low 70’s. Brisket on the WSM. So, relaxing with my baseball park beer and hoping Braves Spring Training game will be on the radio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I am a fan of session beers and more traditional styles; I avoid "finished" beers. HOWEVER, when I saw this in a local Wegman's, I bought a six pack. It reminds me of a good stout, maybe an imperial stout (heavier than average mouth feel). Its 9% ABV is higher than I usually drink (in bars, I'll pick a draft under 7% if I'm having beer). A chocolate note and a bit of slightly burnt toast essence are present. It's good but not something I'd buy regularly. New Belgium makes good beers, IMO, and this is not a disappointment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing. I do so love a good stout or porter. If I can see through the beer I won't drink it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can see through the beer I won't drink it. Winter months for beer, I am mostly an unrefrigerated porter consumer. Also, Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager (Roseland VA south of C'ville, north of Lynchburg off US 29) is my anytime go-to. Of course, the 4R logo and the word "bourbon" on this beer hooked me, but as I said, this was good - better than I expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall have to look for it, thanks for the tip. I have to admit to drinking porters in the summer. And wearing white after Labor Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Didn't have any Guiness so broke out the BCBS with the corned beef dinner. Had the cherry wood from 2021. It has really improved with age. It was super creamy. Didn't make it to the regular one tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly certain I wasn’t planning on reminiscing about the Mountaineers today. Lots of class work in Everett and Sandpoint. Field work throughout the Cascades. Avy 1 & 2, climbing, etc The skills learned there opened the door to a big part of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM818 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Rained this morning and cleared early afternoon. Blustery, low 50s, soft course. A tasty hoppy lager from Northern Pine and Ogopogo Breweries. Fantastic afternoon. Played well but had a couple holes were I f**ked everything up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Weller Whore for bourbon. Miller Mongrel for beer. I attended a “Remembrance” at my American Legion Post yesterday for long time member and Rockford Alderman, “Tuffy” Quinones. He had a stroke last month, and passed away at the age of 76. Didn’t feel like bourbon, so I had a couple of MGD 64’s over the course of 3 hours. Saw a few friends and fellow members, and met a number of Tuffy’s friends and family. This included his father. His father is a 103 year old WW II vet, and also a member of our Post. I was pretty much at a loss for words. “Sorry for your loss.” “Thank you for your service.” Then a nod, a salute and handshake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM818 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I’ve been on the go for over a month and finally had a clear day on my calendar. Lazy Saturday with a mid afternoon hazy. Half Acre from Chicago! Pretty good call from the beer monger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
