The Macallan 12... and a cheap cigar.

Where are you located? That sounds awesome.

fuck do I love Two Hearted Ale!!
but can't get a single match in HD so I've resorted to the CFL. You win, universe, you win.

when I was at BWW and there was nothing else on the TV. Those poor defenses have even more ground to cover than usual!
Since the Tigers game ended so quickly, I am watching Space Jam while drinking Sam Adams Porch Rocker.

This is a BA Stout that I have been wanting to try for awhile now. How does it hold up to KBS or BCBS?

The wife and I are thinking about doing our anniversary next year on Lake Michigan while also traveling to some of the many great breweries in SW Michigan, and New Holland will definitely be on that list (along with Founders, Bells, Dark Horse, etc). As far as the glass thing goes, don't worry, I will travel with my favorite snifter.

New Holland is a must, but in Grand Haven, there is a real small one called "Odd Side Ales" which has some unique brews.

some of that New Holland Dragon's Milk tonight, but instead settled for a gallon of 1%. Meijer had Cocoa Puffs and Cheerios on sale buy one/one free, and I figured the lowfat stuff might be a safer choice in my bowl tomorrow morning.
HOWEVER, while in the beer aisle, I spied a 4-pack of 16 ouncers of this:
Brewery Vivant Belgian Style IPA
on sale and saved $2.00 off regular price. Almost enough to pay for that milk...
Enjoyed a couple of them with pizza while watching the Tigers beat the ChiSox, so good that I'll have to go back and get more before the sale ends tomorrow. At 6.5% AbV, a little less C2H5OH than most most IPA's, has a really nice complex "hoppiness" to it that is in perfect balance with a hint of sweetness and a very fruity aroma, an overall very unique brew. I had heard that this Belgian IPA was good, but WOW, this one is really top-notch, much better than I expected.
Rough day at work, so that means a lot of beer. haha
Sitting on the shores of St. James Harbor on Beaver Island. Good times.

I decided to skip the Odell St. Lupulin and instead open a bottle of Avery Twenty Anniversary DIPA. This beer is getting near 3 months old, so I think it was my responsilbilty to enjoy this while still (relatively) fresh.
No drinking for me. It's been a very bad night.

Great, a double post to go with it.

Bad night? That is the exact reason TO drink.

and many glasses!

Watching the Nats versus the Brewers, 1-0 in the 5th.
August 2nd, 2013 at 10:15 PM ^
Neat.
