We are down in AZ visiting family during the kid's spring break, I'm sampling some of the local flavors. This is a Desert Magic IPA from Mudshark Brewing. I brought my Fed IV with me on this trip.

& a Grand Mayan XA Tequila, double neat.

New day, new brewery. Tonight we went to Hundred Mile Brewing in Phoenix, I had their Mile Marker IPA which was excellent. I know some of you might be disappointed I didn't get the Pith Helmet, but it's just not so much my style.

Sounds like a superb family vacation that still provides you an adult opportunity to enjoy AZ. I too would have chosen a Mile Marker and if allowed a Runners High as a second beer.

Enjoy.

It's really nice that most brew pubs are family friendly places with decent food. You can go have a beer and a meal with your family.

I was really tempted by that Runners High as well but I only had one last night.

New day, new brewery. I had a moment to myself this afternoon so I stopped by the taproom at Goldwater Brewing in Scottsdale, cool town by the way. I had their Hop Chowda Hazy IPA, very good, and their Birthday Suit West Coast IPA, which was awesome. Best beer I've had in AZ yet!

I can‘t do it.

To my friends, you’ll feel a toast come your way now & again.

Saturday evening I took a walkabout with a Wabasha Brewing Kata New England IPA. It was a filling wheat beer that was tasty.

Later in the evening I enjoyed a small dram of Balvenie Doublewood 12 year. Excellent easy sipping whiskey.

This morning I have been wood roasting a ham while sipping a Surley Yummi Bear. I have had this beer in the beer refrigerator for months. It is a lighter and mild hoppy West Coast IPA. This "aged" beer suffers no taste change over the months. A terrific cool weather roasting beer, IMO.

It is not an April Fool's joke - last night we receieved another 9+" of snow. Rain, wet and then big flakes of snow fell last night and this morning. There was enough wet snow that I get a day off. It is good and bad. I am determined to make the most of the day.

Coffee after snowblowing and shoveling. After breakfast I went on a walkabout sipping a Surley Supreme.

I cut trails with snowshoes on the property. Hard work for 40 some minutes. I sipped a Founders All Day IPA. Since I have some time today, I am slow roasting a beef brisket and enjoyed another Surley.

I have been going for nearly 5 hours and three beers. Seize the Day!

Second half of today’s HH at home under an Optimo with a couple drams of Cragganmore 12 Single Malt.

HH was enjoyed at a brewpub in St. Joseph, MO with a few Gnarly Barley Brewing’s Baltic Oats Porter @ 6.5% ABV, & some spicy Cajun fried alligator tail with country cream gravy under a Stetson 7X Fifty.

Finished up after returning home with some Cascahuin 48 Plata Tequila neat @ 96 proof.
