A marathon of interviews today. I feel they all went really well. So I decided to pull the Rare Barrel beer out of the cellar to celebrate. It was a delicious beer.
Tomorrow is my daughter’s first basketball game of the season. Hopefully the coaching myself and the other coach have provided over the last two months shows tomorrow. It’s a 3rd & 4th grade team, but I really enjoy it! I guess I’ll be celebrating again tomorrow after the game.
HB Altbier. Brewed this on 10/23 so been in the keg for about 2 months. It’s really great with the chocolate coming through now from the Carafa. Can’t wait to make it again.
3 1/2 drive to west Virginia to pick up our next puppy, a rescue. Staying the night in Morgantown, very college atmosphere but a couple breweries in walking distance of our hotel.

Feeling the gnome today, so went for the blonde. Kind of a fitting name...I sneezed so hard today while fishing, I slipped off the rock I was standing on@! LaaaaChoooooouufe!
Whewph! Going down like water tonight. We have a grocery / liquor store chain in Western Canada called Co-Op, and they have some great local representation in their beer stores. One of those is called Eighty-Eight Brewing, and they did a collaboration Hazy DIPA called Final Countdown, only sold in the Co-Op stores. Local collabs seem to be a thing here in Cowtown.
It's a big beer at 8.5%, super hoppy, but very smooth. Bit of sour skunk from the hops, silky mouthfeel, then...some biscuit...? Overall a great DIPA. Cheers Co-Op!
