I had a look at their menu. Prices seem reasonable, so I'm contemplating a visit when I celebrate another trip around the sun next month.

Must be a day that ends in y.

Nice, John.


Not so terrible on a warm Summer day by the pool.

I was out opening ditches and breakers in the rain, but the rain picked up to the point I decided to call it a day. This seems like a fitting brew.

Here's a good one.

Cool and refreshing on a hot day I bet.

Two years ago today, the now missus and I toured the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin.

It was terrible. (said no one ever)

This bock came from ALDI, and was shockingly good. Robin had two of them (first time I've ever seen her do so)!

Nice birthday brew, Dan!

Herb came over on Saturday for grilled burgers, brews and knife talk. I was drinking the Guinness, he was drinking the Dogfish Head.

Sorry to hear that, John.

Very seldom drink beer anymore but got a wild hair a week or two ago and picked up a box of an old favorite, Keystone Light (15 to a box these days. My how times have changed.) It will be taking up room in the fridge for a while. It don't trip my trigger.

I enjoyed their commercials- "Keith Stone . . . always smooth . . ."

Leinenkugel's has gotten together with Hofbrau for a collaboration lager using German malts and American hops. Two storied names in brewing makes for a tasty product.

Yep. Cause I'm not particularly fond of Budweiser. Although, in the interest of full disclosure, before Keystone Light I did drink Bud Lite for a while because some friends were drinking it. It was free at their house.

That sounds delicious! I’ll have to keep an eye out for it at the local stores.

At some point the beer manufacturers must have quit making 12 packs. I’ve only been able to find 15 packs now. Craft beer makers usually sell their beer in 4 packs (usually 16 ounces though). I’m constantly amazed at the sheer variety of beers available.
Way back when my dad was having friends over, the beer choices were Carling Black Label, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Altes and Goebel all in longnecks of course. Now there are hundreds of choices.
