Eureka Brewing Co is everywhere down here. I guess with good reason as this is pretty light and tasty.

I rediscovered my love for this beer in the last 6 months and it’s hitting all the right notes after a hot afternoon in the driveway washing all the winter gunk off the car.

I’m a fan of this one, too.  Agreed, perfect on a hot day.

What a beautiful dog!  Had a great day at Saint Arnold’s years ago.  Been a fan ever since.

I don't believe I've had that one.  Or if I did, I don't recall.  Sounds like it might be right down my alley during the hot summer months (like now already, lol).

I'll have to look out for it.

My "Go To" beer is Red Bridge, from A.B.    Mainly because it's gluten-free (made from sorghum not barley) and it's usually available. 

...Not that I drink much beer.    Red Bridge isn't that swingin'; but, it does kinda remind me of the actual beer I once could drink.

Went with a heavier beer because it’s cold outside in SoCal. I don’t name em or do the artwork but another one from Paperback Brewery. It’s nothing special but a relaxing way to forget how shitty I was on the golf course today.

I cut the grass.  That’s enough for today.  Now, some cold Pacifico in my cool Buc-ee’s insulated bottle holder.   If you haven’t been to a Buc-ee’s, it’s worth wasting the gas to get there to fill back up and shop for an hour or so, and take a BBQ Beef Brisket Sammich with for the drive home.   🤪

Weather in the mid-Atlantic the past few days was beautiful for yard work.  Hence, I spent several hours on Friday and again yesterday pulling LONG thorny vines of Smilax (AKA, horse briar, catbriar, deerthorn, pig-ear, etc.) out of an old 30 foot juniper.  The tree was so thickly covered with Smilax leaves that an hour in on Friday, I discovered a ten foot holly tree growing in the shadows.  Once I got the vines mostly out of the two trees and cut up (two full black leaf bags of six-inch pieces of leafy, THORNY cuttings), I used a hand mattock to chop out the shallower rhizomes (e.g., root bulbs) I could reach.  I did all this sitting on a portable stool so it wasn't bend and stoop work.  I figure it'll take one more Saturday to free the rest of those two trees from the vines I didn't get to.

 

Why the detail?  To justify my consumption of beer while working.  Friday was two Devils Backbone Vienna Lagers (CHarlottesvill, Virginia, 5.2% ABV) followed by two Franziskaner Hefe Weiss (Munich 5% ABV), and Saturday was two more DBVAs (with their new label) and two Wurzburger Hofbrau pilsners (5% ABV).

 

Beer is a perfect accompaniment to yard work when no power equipment is involved.  Or standing for that matter.  Especially if it involves repetitive movement of hands and arms.

You don’t need to justify anything to us Harry! Well done I say.

Yesterday after some yard work in the sun I tried this for the first time and it’s excellent.

Been on a Pilsner kick lately.  Also, low bitter/citrus hops.  Going to look for this one.  BTW, Pacifica is my standard order at Mexican restaurants, and Asahi over Kirin in Japanese.  Chinese? Tsingtao only - unsweetened tea if they don’t have it.

 

Can you say, “Curmudgeon!”?😉

Well then I'm right there with you being a curmudgeon! I've been on a huge Asahi kick lately which has led to a general pilsner kick.

The one in my photo is a local brewery so not sure how far their reach goes. Definitely grab it if you see it.

Off topic, sort of.  A local Italian restaurant near where I boat and fish regularly did NOT sell either Peroni or Moretti.  I tried over several meals to get them to buy some if just for me.  They also had no idea what a Negroni or an Americano were and did not have Campari behind the bar so I could show them what they were missing.  Did I mention the family is second gen USA with grandparents on both sides from Italy????  It took awhile, but they now have Campari and a couple other Amari back there.  Now, if they’d just get some Peroni.

June Gloom persists despite this Paperback masterpiece brightening my day. West Coast IPA 7.5%. The Grand Prix Primate. Widespread Panic on the stereo. Life good.

We had A Mexican Dinner tonight. I paired dinner with Modelo Negra. Works every time. 
Happy Friday.

Was it back in the late 1980s - early '90s, some U.S. companies tried to imitate the Japanese "dry" style.  Michelob Dry was one.
