Cheers 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.

smokinjoe Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 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!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve been doing that, you deserve 2 cold ones Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve been doing that, you deserve 2 cold ones Cheers 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM818 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Two of my favorite things. Session IPAs(for safety) and surfing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM818 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I’ve been carrying this beer around for a week. Finally got around to popping it. Excellent easy drinking beer out of Maine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I just finished a Saint Arnold's "Art Car IPA" while sitting in the back patio watching the dogs play. I'm not the biggest IPA fan (some I enjoy, some I don't) but this Art Car IPA is a nice one, like everything Saint Arnold's makes. I believe Saint Arnold's is probably still only distributed in Texas and Louisiana, but if anybody passes through here, you should give them a try because all they make is quality beer.

MM818 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 This is as good as it gets. NW IPA that is crushable yet full bodied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
