Went to Bale Breaker Brewing in Yakima, WA tonight. Very cool brewery they grow hops on the premises. Had their In The Lup Hazy IPA. Wearing my Ultrafino Havana.

This week I had a few of the usual suspects (Omni IPA, Surley Pilsner, Surley Supreme, Founders Agave and Guinness Foreign Stout.

Last evening I had an opportunity to enjoy a dram of Arbeg Wee Beastie and Glen Allachie 10 Cask Strength. Truly excellent. Both whiskeys were different and tasty.

Cheers, Eric -

Picked it up from the factory.

Front Porch Fridays sound like a good time!

Yesterday evening was a good time starting with a few pints of Mothers Brewing Three Blind Mice German Altbier, under a Kevin O’Farrell.

And to wrap up here, a couple Belgian Quads by Ommegang Brewing Co, Three Philosophers. A quadruple ale & Belgian Kriek, the good malty taste is offset with the slight sour cherry taste, more than a couple at a time might be a bit much. 7.2% ABV.

Finally home on the veranda with a couple Maduro Brown Ales from Cigar City Brewing.

Yesterday evening meal (roasted chicken, homemade pickled beets/onions and rice), this mornings brunch (bone broth soup and rice), and strategic stops performing outside chores found me imbibing cans of the 12 pack of Surley Pilsner.

Cheers, Eric -

Jack Daniel's bottled in bond, an ice cold chaser, and the Churchill I've been wearing all weekend. Picked this one up at the factory, too...unfortunately I also picked up a screw in the front tire. Drove home on the back roads with the temporary spare... do not exceed 50 mph it says. Lynchburg is a long way from Birmingham when you take the interstate out of the equation. A fine trip, but glad to be sleeping in my own bed tonight.

Worth - Walden 15X for HH with a few Modelos. Then home for some Flecha Anejo Tequila.

This Anejo is really good with some pipe tobacco or a cigar.

Thinking about bringing out my guitar & sirenading the neighbors with a little Mellencamp, “Little Pink Houses”.

Evening gallivanting while sipping a Fulton Brewing 300 Mosaic IPA. Hopped with Mosaic and at 74 IBU and at 7%abv it is sure tasty after a warm aft and evening.

Cheers, Eric -

Gimme the peat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get drunk on a mossy knoll
And drift awayyy…

A GGCD & a pour of Lagavulin 16. Glen Gray wasn’t offered for very long in a Campdraft. This one was cannibalized before it found its way to me & is still missing a ribbon.

On to TNF!

No hat photo to show, as I’m sitting in my living room in my PJs toasting the late Queen Elizabeth with a Bunnahabhain.
I’m no royalist and I regret that New Zealand didn’t take their opportunity to remove the Union Jack from our flag a few years back, but what a life she led! And led it with dignity.
What’s more, she was one of us. She had an impressive collection of hats!
