Am not drinking these yet (stupid work) but had to go by the beer store over lunch. I have never had either of these and am really looking forward to trying them at five oclock!:D

Real Ale Rio Blanco Pale Ale at the airport while cramming in some last-minute work before boarding...

This thing is a Saaz bomb. Not very bitter, but plenty spicy. Definitely prefer the American-style pales over what I suppose is more of an English style.

Motueka Saaz Summer Saison.

image-557652115.jpg

Planning next Spring's planting for future sours. Trying not to go overboard. Two 50' row of raspberries, early summer reds and golds in the fall. Maybe a couple Morello Cherry trees. It's a dark red sour cherry, the most like the Schaerbeek cherries from Belgium that I can find. Possibly a few figs and elderberries, too. I'm also tempted to plant a Mulberry tree, but trying not to go overboard. I wanted to make bacon, so instead of buying pork belly, I bought pigs.....:rolleyes:

I imagine most of those plantings would take at least a couple years to bear fruit, especially the trees. Those pigs will probably yield their bacon sooner. I back it tho

The pigs have come and gone. I'm sure I'll end up with another one at some point, but it's nice not to have any animals after a few years of chickens and pigs.

Fall Raspberries, what are also called everbearing (which they aren't), or primocanes bear fruit the first year. The summer bearing, or floricanes, bear the second year, as will the elderberries. I think figs fruit the first year, also, but maybe it's the second. The cherries will be 3 or 4 years.

In the meantime peaches are about $18 a half bushel, strawberries are around $11 a gallon, a friend grows blueberries, and blackberries are everywhere here. :D

Sure! That's something I haven't tried yet. Winemaking that is. Might try Muscadine wine this year.

I haven't tried the recipe yet, my dad just recently found it in his grandfathers toolbox, but I'd imagine with the addition of barrels I've heard you talking about, 1/8 elderberry wine the rest a nice sour saison. Maybe with some fresh berries. Could be a fun project.

Honey I had to drink those last 4 bottles, the hop character was fading!

Anyone have suggestions for a better camera app for iPhone?

I picked that up for the first time last week, loved it very much!

This i also picked up for the first time and am not disappointed at all. I think the aroma is incredible right before you take a sip, for a beer with 8.5% abv it is mighty tasty :cross:
