That's pretty old. He's retired and you're not. Take advantage of that stash while you can.

They just closed for the season last weekend. Nothing like skiing in slush...

I love that place. So small compared to many of the other resorts. And the terrain is sick. I remember my first beer...I mean my first time dropping into the Zuma Bowl (the first season it opened). I've been there a few times since. Love to snowboard in CO. Been to many other spots out there. Where you at?

I've also snowboarded at Mt. Hood in June (2008 or 2009). It was 30F near the summit and 75F when I got back to Portland haha. That was silly.

Haha...that is super old but I'm catching up FAST. I just don't encounter many 50 year old + hop heads, so I thought it was cool. But I'll stick with my Two Hearted and 60 Minute. I do have a handful of High Life in the cooler.
 
I'm about an hour southwest of downtown Denver. A-Basin was the place to go when i was younger and had no kids. Haven't been there in about 5 years. Got spoiled when my brother worked at Keystone and Breckenridge - free lift tickets. Last couple of years its been Loveland and Steamboat with the kids.

And since i have clearly stopped working, i think it's time to head to the brewery now....
 
That looks like a good time, Ridire. Haven't been camping in 6-7 years.

I'm enjoying this buzz and almost done with this cigar (2 hrs. later). Listening to KRS-one on the front porch.

I wish I was camping! Have a great time ridire.

I was nervous after reading previous years' reviews but I am really digging this. Glad I took the gamble.

Grabbed it from a site called Belly to Bacon except I added a teaspoon of wormwood to mine in addition to some other goodies. Spruce tips were from blue spruces that line a hedge row in my back yard. I figured it was time to put those trees to work.

Spruce Tip Bitters

2 cup spruce tips
1/2 star anise
1 cardamom pod
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon wormwood
Zest from 1/2 grapefruit
Half zest off a tiny key lime

1 cup moonshine
Step one: Combine all ingredients in a jar. Shake every few days for a month.

Step two: Strain into a bottle/jar.

That is awesome! Bring over a high life and let the stories ensue! (of course, pack a two-hearted in case he curls his nose up at the HL)! All-Day is basically my desert island beer, anyone that drinks more than one is awesome in my book.

Umm.... Is it just me, or is the little one giving the Bronx cheer?

Anyway... Been a while since camping, jealous!

Rocking! Going back to email myself - I love a good Manhattan, and I have a big bitters collection.

Now, on topic - bathing the little one, Great Return 1 & 2.

Cheers! That was my first White Rajah. Damn good! Now onto an Old 21 DIPA from Brew Kettle. Not as good. Probably should have opened it sooner
 
B. Stiff...root beer, from Oskar Blues in Brevard, NC. Also...the beer can arch leading to the tap room. No DD, so had to make my purchase and leave 😭. Would love to have had a flight...or tried the Cask of Green Tea something or other. Alas, SWMBO was in no mood to accompany or accommodate. Funky place, though!
