Eau de vie(water of life) made by my father in law 50 or 60 years ago. Basically high alcohol pear brandy about 120 proof.
What are you drinking now?

Duclaw chocolate peanut butter porter. Slightly sweet, subtle chocolate, very little PB. Not bad. I might have been a little aggressive on the pour!

Voodoo Ranger Juice Force at the RHCP show...Strokes on now
Grill beer. Already starting to get dark too early. Who else in the north just can’t wait for it to be still dark at 9am with the daylight savings time change?
That’s really, really cool
HB Belgian pale ale

Glad you got to compare yours! I’ve never had Pliny either.
Think our colors are pretty close.

Went to the local brewery for dinner. As always the beer and food did not disappoint.
Czech Style Pils with Sauvignon Blanc must. Such an interesting and delicious concoction.
They have renamed the style of West Coast Pale Ale to Grandpa Pale Ale, and I’m going to continue to use that. It’s not clear, but it’s definitely not a hazy!

Cream Ale from a local OKC brewery.
Another beer adventure gone good!

The last bottle of one of my favorite home brews. 3 years old now. Accidentally infected funk Sorachi Ace saison. Enjoyed with good friends up at the Sunday River condo
Holiday weekend, I’ll have another.
HB pale lager.
I brought a growler to my football draft last night and have been requested to bring an entire keg next time. It honestly made me feel really accomplished to hear that from a dozen guys who are 100% not craft drinkers. I’m notorious for having an imposter complex, but that’s three (this lager, cream ale, rye lager) highly requested beers now. That IPA thing is still WIP.

My October 2021 Pliney was spot on…. Delicious!
on.
How many flux capacitors did you go through getting there and back?
I still can’t taste much but this stuff seems remarkably beer like.

Minnesota trip in rearview mirror. And now ... decisions, decisions.
As a MN guy, I haaaaaate summit but the rest is good stuff. Is the cream ale the only Schells? It’s great, but they have so many solid beers
Celebration beer! Nice second half by Ohio State. Defense and running game. Unexpected, but was great to see (for me at least)! (I drank a lot of home brew and finished a keg in the second half so pardon my gloating…)
Yah, the Cream Ale was the only Schell's this time out. Wifey (a MN girl) really likes that one.
No love for Summit, eh? I like the EPA, but have only tried 1 other offering that I recall.

So, was it worse trying the real thing and realizing that you feel yours DOESN'T taste the same? I'm sure, even while not a direct clone comparison, you're still happy with it

Great RHCP show... Glenrothes as a nightcap.
We inherited the family wine cave, and back in the deepest corner we found about 80 bottles of this stuff. Her dad had a license to distill fruit from his orchards, so every year he made plum and pear brandy. Unfortunately none of the bottles have any markings so it's a crapshoot what kind you'll get. Since he quit making it in 1982 we know it's that old, and the bottle style is distinctly not modern so it's probably from the late 50's or early 60's.
Currently on my 3rd bottle of Founder's Dirty Bastard of the night (whoops, it's 4am?!?). This was my very first "wow, that's damn good" craft beer that I ever really appreciated, way back in like 2007 or so.
I always want to like summit, but there's something that just doesn't jive with my tastes in most of their beers. IIRC I really liked one they had out last winter, a rye IPA with a hockey themed name. The Schell's brewery is across town from me, so I've probably sampled everything thats come out of that brewery in the last two decades. I can honestly say I've never been disappointed.
The twin cities has had an unfortunate amount of smaller breweries close the past year and a half. I'm sure thats a theme nationwide, but sad to see them go considering theres only a handful in the rural south central area of the state I live in.
Have you tried any of the beers at Forager in Rochester? Our son lives there so when we're in town we often try to stop there. I've tasted some very good beers from them. I've had various beers from Schell's and found them all to be quite solid. When I was in Roch earlier this summer I had a Bearded Bear, a really good Cream Ale from PawPrint Brewery in Chatfield (very small town SW of Roch). Lastly, on one of my visits I'd really like to get to Barrel Theory and try a Shooter McGavin. I've heard a lot of good things about it.
Long beautiful day yesterday. New golf tour is going on at my old course. I know all those bad spots in the woods.
Cisco Brewing Haze from Nantucket
Check out slide #2. The only hole on that course I hate. Long and straight

Harpoon IPA at Legal Sea Food in Boston Harbor. After a Rutgers win yesterday been a great LDW trip to Boston so far.
I tried to get a picture of the rainbow trout I caught but I couldn’t manage it all by myself.
I realized I need to spend more time fly fishing next year. It’s been way too long.

Yards Jefferson's Golden Ale while my sauces simmer. One meat sauce, one chunky garden style vegetarian with mushrooms and red bell. This is what the Eye-talians here around Philly call "Sunday Gravy".
