Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Short Balding Guy]

Stay cool and be safe folks.

Yesterday afternoon I enjoyed some Stella Artois pilsner. This morning I have enjoyed some cold brewed Costa Rican coffee and a breakfast beer. The Surley Saber Tooth Tiger is a hop forward American IPA.

Cheers, Eric. -

Country Gentleman coconut straw and a cold Mexican lager struggling to keep the heat at bay.

To hot for felt even in AC. So a hemp OR will do for HH with a few Boulevard Bob’s ‘47, a dark Amber Oktoberfest.

This weeks heat was wearing me out.

A cool Surley Hell Lager on an evening was a treat.

A late night Omni pilsner hit the spot. Late night was the "only sane" time to be outside IMO mid week.

Thursday evening the heat was abating and a Guinness was my celebratory beer.

Friday ended with a trip to the Minnesota State Fair with some work mates. Beer tasting was enjoyable. A pickle beer was my winner of the many options.

Home from the Fair I wished for a "normal" pilsner tasting beer. A Surley pilsner hit the spot.

This morning I enjoyed another Surley after picking up a side of beef for us and the neighbors.

I opened another when I changed to get the grill going.

The temps today have climbed to 70'f by 1:00pm. Wow! The cooler temps find me enjoying being outside. I hope you folks are too enjoying some cooler weather.

Cheers, Eric. -

^^^Eric, you remind me of a quote from the funny papers attributed to Dagwood Bumstead, “You can’t teach people to be lazy, they either have it or they don’t.”

HH brought a few KC Bier Co Festbiers, a Vienna style lager, under an Optimo on this cooler day. 5.5% ABV.

Truly amazing tastes German brewmasters can bring out of a little yeast. Southern baked bread or brown biscuits with a touch of butter & honey, followed by a slight tart or bitter aftertaste.

This summer it has been my practice to start the grill for breakfast or in preparation for an afternoon feast. Continuing that practice this morning I started the grill in preparation for some beef short ribs. I am enjoying a Modest Brewing Co pilsner. This Minnesota brewed beer is a golden easy drinking pilsner. It has an oak smell, but a smooth Pilsner taste with a crisp finish.

Cheers, Eric. -

Thanks Jack. I have been recently reading a book on how to use my camera (Sony RX100 VI with editing on my Iphone).

Yesterday afternoon I enjoyed a Deschutes Hazy to celebrate the start of a couple of days off.

I have been succeeeding at my New Year's Resolution of reducing my coffee consumpsion to 9 cups of coffee each day. This morning I enjoyed one one of those cups. This morning Volcanica Costa Rica single origin was my choice.

This morning I enjoyed some Surley Supreme with a breakfast of Oatmeal and toast on the deck. I have a "TO DO" Llist, but my time today is my own. I drink a morning beer because I can and I am enjoying it.

Cheers, Eric -

That is a really nice little compact zoom.

Really makes the main subject stand out.

This evening I enjoyed a Surley Hell lager.

Best to all, Eric -

HH spent with a few Dos Equis Lagers, some chips & salsa, then later the best skillet of Chori Pollo a man can have. No room on the bar top for a Ritch Rand Tom Horn. It’s been cool enough today that I was in the mood for a black hat.

Then home for a few pours of Siete Leguas Blanco Tequila & continue watching Lonesome Dove streaming on Tubi.

Still under the 3X OR for a few KC Bier Co Feistbiers.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Early Guinness breakfast beer and a Before I Die Surley Lager after a couple of yard chores. The lager is a balanced hop and malt lager. It finishes with a biscuit and lemony taste. It is a new lager that will be grand for the upcoming hot weather.

Cheers, Eric -

While in the city running errands I decided to have lunch & a couple beers at the best BBQ place in the world, formerly Oklahoma Joe’s. This was the line @ 11:40. They open at 11:00. Next time, maybe!

Lots of maintenance contractors here from out of town to work thru the holiday shutdowns. Always stimulating conversations during HH.

After a hot afternoon it’s time to go back to felt. I chose a Knox American Royal Arminto clone with some KC Bier Co Feistbier for such conversations.

Then home to break out some Dalwhinnie 15 yr old Single Malt Whisky to start this long holiday weekend.

Enjoyed the sunset and some bbq with a few cold silver bullets on the patio

Sunday "Happy Hour" or really a Happy Morning I sipped some beer after my escapades.

I am reluctantly building my tolerance for the warmer temps.

Continuing this holiday weekend with a special First Editions bottling with bottle #528 of 563, 18 yr old Blair Athol Single Malt Scotch Whisky with a Washer Bros, Stetson Amon Carter Shady Oak Farm 3X.

Early morning visit with my neighbor on his dock found me enjoying a Surley Saber Tooth Tiger. It is a fruit forward with a strong hop taste. For a warm 78'f (26'c) morning it was delicious.

Home again I opened a Surley Supreme to start grilling a pork tenderloin. Our charcuterie plate this afternoon should be tasty. It is a light,easy pilsner to drink with a tart grapefruit finish. A grand warm weather beer.
Cheers and stay cool, Eric -
