That's awesome, Tom!

We're at my grandmother's house in Indiana. I see that in one of the cupboards there is a bottle of beer from the last time we were here--over 2 years ago. It's a Corsendonk. Y'all think it's still good? If it is, I'll take it home with me.

Sorry Tom. Considering the source, I just figured the beer part was implied.

Actually, my very first, learn to ski experience involved beer. My Uncle was teaching me and there was a place half way down the mountain where they were having a barbecue. Beer and a steak for 10 bucks and additional beers for 2 bucks. I was only 16 but it didn't seem to matter. I only had a couple but I skied a lot better after the beer removed my nervousness. "Pfffft, I don't need no stinkin snowplow!"

Is that better?

Yes, the universe is back in balance now, thank you.

I (Still) highly recommend Deschutes Obsidian Stout, especially served on nitrogen. Also enjoyed Port Brewing Hop 15 IPA this weekend. Not as successful was the Imperial IPA from Tacoma'a Harmon Brewing. It was clean and hoppy, but a bit too boozy and full bodied, even for that style. Likewise, I surprisingly did NOT enjoy the St. Florian's IPA from Silver City (Silverdale, WA), which is more of a red/amber and doesn't measure up to the other, very fine beers in their collection. Also suffering from potential bad-batch syndrome was an IPA from Double Mountain brewing in Hood River, OR. I had never had a middling beer from them before.

Highlight of the weekend was my wife educating some of my friends from high school about timing of hop additions and IBU's. I have a ridiculously good life.

I get to go to a private bottling party tonight. Mississippi's lone brewer, Lazy Magnolia, is wasting no time taking advantage of two new (to MS) laws that take effect at midnight; brewing of beer higher than 5% ABW, and the ability to sample beers on site.
The irony is that they have been producing contract beers for other labels over 5% for direct export to other states (legally, of course) but this brew is staying in state on their label. In honor of the legislator who carried the law thru the legislature, they have a Rye IPA ready to bottle tonight called Timber Beast. I'll have more info on the name and alcohol content when I get back.
The other law, sampling wares on site, they have been ridiculously good about adhering to. Now folks taking a tour of the brewery will be able to sample the products!

This was mostly a teaser for Tom, who could use a little universe unbalancing wink

Whoa!

That's great! The 21st century would like to welcome MS.

Looking forward to hearing about the new, creative brews coming from LM.

That's odd. I thought that THE teaser for Tom is when the neighbors open their bedroom blinds in the morning and he has to call in late to work.


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
