After the day we had today, I drank a 750 ml bottle of La Chouffe Houblon IPA Tripel. It's a lot of 9% beer for one person, but I manned up and got the job done. Wonderful beer.

I know it's probably lame...but I'm stationed in Okinawa, Japan, and the beer selection is pretty lame. Either way I'm having a Sam Adams Summer Ale. Goes quite well with a Cabaiguan Guapo :ss

Picked up my third 6'er of Schell's Hefeweissen on the way home from work tonight. Drinking one as I type this. Lots of flavor in a (nearly) session-strength beer. This is really a world class hefe.

My daughter brought a couple of her friends over for a BBQ, generally BMC drinkers. I broke out a variety of beers to share, nothing fancy, but they seemed to enjoy the beers. Schell's Hefeweissen, my homebrewed cream ale, Deschutes Mirror Pond, Surly Bender, and Rogue Chocolate Stout. They really enjoyed the chocolate stout, comparing it to dessert. Who knows, maybe I opened a few eyes tonight to the wonderful variety of beers we have available.

That's awesome Warren and some great choices

Speaking of dessert beers, I am drinking Southern Tier Creme Brulee and WOW what a great brew. You have to be prepared that this tastes like it sounds. It is liquid candy.

It always bums me out that this beer is the most well traveled Vermont beer. Magic Hat makes some great beers, but this is not even close to their best (or worst). I always get a kick out of walking into a bar when I am traveling for work and seeing this on tap at a higher price than better local micro-brews just because it traveled farther.

Reason for tirade, Magic Hat Blind Faith in hand right now:D

Keepin' it simple! Coors Light or a Blue Moon will do me just fine. Don't have any problem with some of the fancier craft beers, though.

Awesome...That is my next step (getting into homebrew). Unfortunately I have to wait until the winter because the Arizona heat won't do my beer good and the wife isn't having me take over the house or garage.

Do it! After brew day, all you really need is a cool, dark space (like a coat closet) where you can sit a 5 gallon bucket for a couple weeks. Doesn't take up much space at all. Trust me, I'm from CA! ;)

Start building your setup now!
It took me a couple of months to gather, cut, drill, weld, and prepare all of my gadgets.
I started in April or May and actually brewed my first batch by myself on this past Saturday.

Coffee Bender is the one Surly I don't care for. Too much coffee for my preferences. Love regular Bender though.

Took my older son fishing tonight on my neighbor's dock. He fished, I had a couple PBR's and smoked a Los Statos Delirios. It's all good.

I have decided it may be very good with Brunch, lol. I like my coffee.

I also thought about simply taking a good beer and adding some cold pressed coffee might accomplish the same thing, within reason.

I almost had one of the bourbon county coffee stouts tonight, but it was a bit warm. I usually like em chilled just a bit, room temp doesn't do it for me.

Two things you can't have enough of: Stone's and DFH! :dr

Oh, and Sierra Nevada. So that's three. Three things you can't have enough of.

Well, and good cigars. So that's four things.






Ok, five things: naked women. But that's it. Five things you can't have enough of.
