What are you drinking now?

[Rish]

A few at Tower Taproom in Montgomery, AL, before going to my granddaughter's chorus competition. Cool place. Start a tab, they give you a card to activate the taps,
you pick beers and how much to pour, they charge you by the ounce. Strawberry blonde, Pilsner, porter, brown ale and stout from various breweries.

I have heard of such establishments but have not had the pleasure.
Do they have someone keeping an eye out for over-self-serving, for liability sake?
I suppose with a little coding they could make that automagic

Cheers!

Before dinner, my pineapple booch. After dinner the Polish champagne.

Wrapt in Warm Flannel, a Wee Heavy from Fieldwork Brewing. Noticed after opening it that it’s 11%. A sipper for sure on this cool damp evening.

We've been to a few of those tap wall bars. After you set up a tab with your cc, they hand you some kind of RFID thing that you swipe before you can use a tap. It keeps track of how much you pour. Depending on the establishment (and dram shop laws) it cuts you off at a certain number of ounces. I've literally been mid-pour when the thing just shuts off.

It's kind of nice if you just want to try a little bit of something--pour a few oz and see if you want to get more.

Edit: The first time I had been to one of those it was a bar/restaurant at a resort in Kauai. It was limited to 32oz total pours, but when it ran out I told the bartender that we were staying at a cottage a few hundred yards away and had walked over. He reset the card and I continued with another 32 oz.

First one I'd been to was a few miles up the road from me in San Luis Obispo. They had Maine Beer CO. Lunch on tap, and I'd only had it once before and loved it. So naturally I went for that in a big way. It was the most expensive beer on that night, and I rang up quite a tab drinking by the ounce.

Ah, found yourself another Austin supplier eh?

Tasty!

What a waste of money, your pictures are still out of focus.

But now I can see that they are!

If I had known you were in town we could have had drink!

You have to renew your card after each 32 oz to ensure you are "drinking responsibly". Makes sense.

Back at Tower with a Birmingham brew while waiting on my BBQ brisket to-go. Beer good, brisket great.

Didn't know you are in Montgomery. I'll let you know next time I'm here.

We found these treats at Walmart. Figs and goat cheese in puff pastry. I got out a port wine to have with it. We haven’t had port for awhile and this one is outstanding.

I have to ask. Which pinball game is it and what's the problem?

Bally Bow & Arrow… game won’t complete start sequence. Game over/reset coils are not firing I am down to chasing wires and verifying switches since visually everything checks out.

I got frustrated with zero progress so I went to watch some videos on the subject. Today is round 4.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

A pint of my Harlequin Pale Ale 4.9% ABV.

I'm a maintenance technician in the semiconductor industry. My co-worker had a hobby for 20yrs (before I met him) repairing PB machines. He had about 30 carcasses in his garage but ended up chucking them even though I said I'd buy a few for tinkering. Coils and relays is all he griped about!

OT, Electrolyte concoction. Have to stay good (er, sober) as I'm trying to commit to 6-12hrs this week for some overtime. It's far a few between these days so trying to take advantage.

HB buckwheat porter. If my Bears can't go to the big game, here's hoping my son's team can - fly Eagles fly!

Here’s another monster of a brew, this one by Hofbräuhaus – another “-ator” style German lager. Folks when you see “-ator” on the end of any of these brews, it means you’re in for a big, malty, boozy wallop! A belly-warming 8.4% ABV to boot!

A lot of German breweries make a whole slate of different brews. We just don’t get them all here in the states. So when we get one that releases some of their specialty brews into the US, it really is a treat!

Hofbräu Delicator is a traditional Dopplebock, terrific head, terrific lacing, this is a big boozy malty brew with a touch of raisin, date and plum esters. Definitely malt-forward, just enough hopping to still call it beer. Es ist wirklich ein Genuss!

That pic is sharp as a tack! Who are you really, and what did you do to our Rish?!
