Ditto, and then some... from the two beers site - "Two Beers Brewing’s Ascension Triple IPA is the expanding brewery’s most powerful beer yet, ringing in at 18.2 percent ABV and 100+ IBUs."

That's a HUGE beer!!

Tom, since this is close to you, I'd like to offer the "Whimpy" compromise: I will gladly trade you 4 Timber Beasts (pay you Tuesday) for a Two Beers Ascension Triple IPA (a burger) today.

That percentage was the first release of the beer. The one I have (had!) was 15.4%. Still heady, though.

So, I didn't finish the boat rack. My local Home Depot didn't have the concrete footers, and I didn't feel like driving 20 minutes to check at Lowes or another Home Depot. I have everything else I need, though, but it's tough to start on a project without a foundation.
I just checked online and the Home Depot one town over has them in stock.

Too bad I drank my reward early. Maybe I'll put the bottle of Old Viscosity in the fridge for my second reward.

Woo hoo! It started to rain just as I made my first cuts, but I wasn't going to let that stop me. I put up the patio umbrella and kept working. I still got soaked, but the damn rack is built. Now, if you'll excuse me, the Submit button is between me and my beer.

I was extremely exited this weekend. I finally made a batch of homemade after years of laziness. It's an ale with a light citrus flavor balanced with honey. Turned out pretty nice. Just hoppy enough so it's not all 'girly citrusy' but nice and refreshing on a hot summer day.

Nice! I haven't brewed in over a year. I suck.

You need to reward yourself with other beer after you've brewed your own.

Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Nice Mocha kind of taste, smooth and creamy.

Just kegged my Brewers Best Kolsch kit yesterday. Looking forward to taste test later this week. cheers

Last Friday, I had the chance to meet up with MarkSJohnson in Vermont. I was visiting friends in Brattleboro, and Mark graciously drove over from his stately manor in New Hampshire to join us for dinner at Whetstone Station, a nice brewpub on the Connecticut River. We had a great time. Mark had Trout River Rainbow Red and I had Northshire Brewery Chocolate Stout and a Katarina Wittbier (punny!). It was a great time, especially since he gave me a package of little umbrellas for my drinks. Somewhere, Ray3 is smiling.

I'm blurry because I'm pulling away....
