Nice, John.
All of this talk about Guinness got my taste buds going.
There’s nothing better than a nice cold Guinness on a warm summer evening!
Jeff
Sometimes it just feels right and hits the spot.

Back Home!!!

I don’t think we get Yuengling here yet.
Whenever I travel south I always stop in at a local bar for one or two pints on draft. To me it always taste better than the canned version.
Might just be my old taste buds though.
Jeff
Draft
Bottle
Can
My choices in that order!!

Been drinking a few of these recently. Smooth, easy drinking and not to heavy on the alcohol. I believe the English refer to this as a “session” beer, a beer that you can’t drink a few of without getting wasted. It’s a very tasty brew!
These have a little nitro charger in each can so you get a really creamy, thick beer head when pouring. Guinness uses something similar in their canned beer. It’s a pretty effective little gizmo!

So yesterday after the wife and I “Woods Wander” we stopped at our fav BBQ place. They had Sam Adams Summer Ale. Decided to give it a try. End result. Beer Box was empty. Not any more.

This past Saturday I made good on my plans to give Guinness another try. Much better than it was 20 years ago. Then again, 20 years ago, I was primarily a liquor drinker.

Greetings from Smithfield, VA, home of the Smithfield Ham. Got lucky on finding this brewery/restaurant right in the downtown area. Very cool town in the Isle of Wight, lots of huge Victorian homes and historic sites. I did a Sampler to go with dinner, 3 Ales and a Hefe, deeeeeeeeeeelicious.

It’s nice that most towns have a brewery or two now. My home town has two or three breweries within about 5 miles of my house. I don’t like all the beers that they create but I always manage to find one or two that hit the spot!
The samplers (or flights as they’re called here) are a great way to find great beers. They’re usually very inexpensive and there’s just enough beer in those sample glasses to get you interested.

Well guys, this is a new one even by my standards. From The Veil in Richmond, VA, my brother just picked this up en route to Corolla. It definitely has beer characteristics but a grape finish. Very smooth and a sour.

Buy wait, there's more. Another The Veil brew and equally interesting. I'm a big fan of sours and I think this one is better than the grape one.

Looks interesting John, but as a general rule I don’t care for fruit in my beer. Tried one the other day from a Houston outfit called Karbach Brewery, that had so much citrus in it I couldn’t drink it. First time in my life I ever threw away a beer!
On the other hand I enjoyed this with dinner tonight. Really good beer!

Looks delicious, David.
Isn't Rail House in NC?
Yes sir.
My buddy's grandson brought it up for me.
He is in the Marine Corps. Stationed in NC.
Cherry Point?
Camp LeJeune?
New River?
Parris Island?
I was stationed at Cherry Point in '64-'65. Not important, it just piqued my curiosity.

my sister gave this to my bud who was visiting from Hattiesburg and he couldn't take it back on the plane.
9/11 screwed up so many things. Before 9/11, when I would return from the Philadelphia area, my carry on would be a case of Yuengling Traditional Lager. Had many positive comments on it.

Life's a beach @ Corolla, NC.
Overcast in the low 80's but nice and a decent crowd.

Went out to lunch today with my wife and daughter to a place called the Octopus Beer Garden. The place is right on the waterfront of the Clinton River. In the old days this was one of the most polluted waterway in Michigan. But it seems to be making a comeback.
We ordered the soft pretzel bites with beer cheese dipping sauce, deep fried cheese curds with two different dipping sauces and a cheesesteak sandwich with beer cheese sauce. Everything was pretty darn good!
To wash it all down I went with the Hell or High Watermelon Wheat Beer 4.9% ABV, it was outstanding.
I only took one picture:
An enjoyable day!
Jeff

Oh snap, I just had one of those. Pretty refreshing on a hot day.
