I’ve never thought of that beer as a thirst quencher. But, I see it now. Good call

I will give it a try. 
 

Cheers

 

I only learned it from @flahute

Glad I did!

This reminds me of my father. He had a fridge in the garage full of beer and some soft drinks.  I was middle school aged and one day I was pounding Pepsi’s in the Texas heat. I was probably annoying him with my lack of production in helping him in the yard. He glared at me and said, “if you want to quench your thirst drink a beer goddammit!” So I have been since that day 30+ years ago. And I used to drink that fridge dry and have my own fridge full of beer to this day. 
 

Tonight I drank a Maine Beer Company Lunch IPA and a Deschutes Hazy on a little east coast holiday.

For me, the “right” beer can definitely quench my thirst.  Unlike other liquids though, it is a one bottle/can kinda thing for me. After one beer, it tends to make me thirsty again.

Just a bit o yard work today, so I’m finished early.  Sittin’ out front smelling the magnolias that flowered for me, with some tunes on, and a Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA.  Great balanced IPA.  And, here I thought that Black Butte Porter is all I needed from this brewery!!

Magnolias are beautiful trees. But raking leaves in the summer, is punishing.  If you’ve been doing that, you deserve 2 cold ones

Ha!  I’m lucky that all of my magnolias are on the perimeter of my yard, which  I have in a natural state, as it is up against the main road and 2 fences.  So the leaves primarily fall on the pinestraw.  The big one, though, does throw some l leaves on my back yard grass…. All of the magnolias back there are “Wild”, as I didn’t plant them.  They just popped up.  I’m guessing that they came from my neighbor behind me, as he has 2 massive ones in his front yard, which is just beyond my back yard.  
 

The big one on my yard started as a 6”high stick on the ground with 1 leaf.  She’s now over 40’, and very beautiful.
