It’s hot as a bastard here right now, Corona Premier with a twist is going down pretty smoothly. I’ve got a case of dogfish head 120 minute in the basement, maybe tonight after dinner I’ll have one of those
Had a Paradise Creek Arbiter IPA last night. I like it, it's not the cloudy, fruity IPA style that's popular right now. It's more of the old school, more piney and bitter. Tonight was another Moosehead working on the truck and a glass of barrel aged wine with dinner
I forgot to mention this, but there is a car show in Des Moines tomorrow if you are interested in bringing the X. I'm going with my buddy and his GTO. Here's the flyer from LAST year https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/3e120e_31e57603d41841d39e0a9452d488e207.pdf
I forgot I was going to update the beers. Last night I was drinking Moosehead Lager https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/moosehead-lager/203/ an old one I still like. Drank it while washing the X. Tonight it's Fremont Head Full of Dynomite, https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/fremont-head-full-of-dynomite-9-sabro-ekuanot-and-amarillo/707882/, this one listed is #9, I think I have #13, it was a sample beer. Drinking while waxing tonight
Post up a pic of your truck! Btw go ducks. My dream college that i wish i attended and attempted to walk on the football program. The civil war will always be in UOʻs favor lol
Go Ducks. I'll get some pics up soon. Just stock looking '11, black. But put a sc, sway bars and short shifter on.
Tonight I dug out some old beers I brewed. Pomegranate Pale that I did for my sister, a belgium Double and a Dopplebock. They are 10-15 years old. Held up well, still good. I guess I did alright. But then again, I did brew professionally for 15 years and my buddy owned a brewpub in '91.
I found a bottle by the hot tub that I had about two months ago. Abnormal brewing https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/abnormal-beer-company/21473/, no posting for this beer, but here is their other beer, Simply Different. Imp Mild Porter with cherry, chocolate, and vanilla. Pretty good. It was their Valentines beer
Well, around the NW area, we are going to start loosing our summer. So instead of working in the yard today, I'm having a pilsner on my deck in the sunshine. Barrier Barstool Warrior. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/barrier-barstool-warrior/745855/ A collaboration with Dream Theater. The name is taken from a song off of the new album with artwork that relates to the song and album cover. We have a couple of other Rock n Roll beers at our pub. Def Leppard, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, Sublime, Deftones, Whip Ales, which is put out by Michael Wilton from Queensryche.
It's going to rain for the next two days so I mowed the lawn and did some weeding in the rose garden, even though I never promised you one. So I'm watching the Mariners and drinking a Fort George 3 Way. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/fort-george-cloudburst-ruse-3-way-ipa-2019-cashmere/756009/. After the game, I'll probably go back to a Fremont Head Full of Dynomite
The rain is gone, another nice day, another nice beer. Three Magnets Tubby Unicorn IPA https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/three-magnets-tubby-unicorn/694030/
Finally changed my transmission oil to Red Line. The summer is almost over so wanted to get it done before the rain. Not working on the truck in the rain. So I had a Bosk IPA after. It's a newer brewery in Woodinville Wa. Now that it's football season, I'm trying to watch TNF in between the rain delays. Started with a Hop Valley Bubble Stash IPA. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/hop-valley-bubble-stash/199147/. We'll see what happens. It was funny when the Dawgs game got delayed from Lightning, one of my dogs went hiding. That was a late game.
First rain delay is over, so on to the next beer. Crux Gimme Mo IPA https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/crux-gimme-mo-not-just-another-ipa/452921/
Drained the hot tub last month because I don't use it much when it's warm out. So since it's raining again and the wife wants it back on, I was cleaning and filling it. So while doing that, I was drinking the last of my summer beers, Beer To Drink When It's Hot Outside. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/westbrook-beer-to-drink-when-it-s-hot-outside/749363/ It was good when it was really hot outside, but now that it has cooled down. I'm not digging it that much. Too much lime flavor for me with it not being hot outside.
Got home after a busy day at the pub. Wife wanted to sit in the hot tub, so we paused the game. Have to have a Hot Tub beer. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/firestone-walker-parabola/60246/ I love Russian Imp Stouts and especially barrel aged on. This one works great for the hot tub. I have a frig down by the hot tub full of special beers for it.
Hawks won tonight, that's always good. Had some barrel aged wine with dinner while watching the game. Now, after the game, I'm having a beer for dessert. Adroit Theory https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/adroit-theory-dia-de-los-muertos/255701/. A really good Imp Russian Stout. This is one of my new favorite breweries. Even though we run a pub, there are beers we can't get here. So my wife started buying from Tavor, and we found these guys. Love most of their beer.
