Smog City White Peach Saison
A little tart from the peach, but dry like it should be. I’ve had this bottle for about a year or so. They have a new batch on tap in the brewery right now.

Another day of diamond action with the same lucky shirt as yesterday. Guess I'll be alone in the media room. 
This is a nice variety pack.

Driveway beer.. thats not cocaine on the pavement... just cornstarch, dont ask.
This is more than a couple years aged, still tasty.
With a hefe brewed earlier today, I'm putting my feet up with a glass of Panther Piss while I wait for the keg washer to do its thing so that I can keg a proper German pils. I forgot how easy it is to brew a hefe (provided it lauters without drama). I was kinda bored for want of anything to do during the boil.
Belgian Dark Mild. I’m liking this one. 
That looks and sounds tasty and I'm curious to know more about it, loganklaas. Am I right to assume it's a dark mild grist with a Belgian yeast? I could sure see that working (and being a great way to build up cell counts for something big).
Very nice Pilsener
Did the history tour guide for some friends visiting with their kids. Lived here forever and never done Battle Road where the Redcoats retreated. A nice ten mile trek on bikes out and back
5 minutes of sunshine at Bloody Angle
And the packy just around the corner from the Old North Bridge had this. Provisioned

Cheers to the BB team!
Here is beer #6 of 6! A HEFTY 12% ABV Imperial Stout from Brouwerij Van Steenberge!
Gulden Draak Imperial Stout is a BIG beer. This is an excellent brew, no cutting it back with my Bud Zeros! Hilariously, the label states “Contains 4X More Malt Than A Lager.” Again, that’s one of those statements that really flies in the face of us beer lovers, maybe it’s designed for newbies. How about Samichlaus Lager, a 14% ABV Doppelbock, originated by Hurilimann - and now brewed by Brauerei Schloss Eggenberg in Austria? That’s a Lager, probably with MORE malt…. Take that!
I'm still trying to figure out why there needs to be a 12% beer. I guess some people really like stiff alcohol drinks. For me, beer is usually a spritzy, lighter, friendlier drink. If I drink a bunch of these, I'm going to be face down singing in the ditch in no time!
The alcohol notes really do come through on this beer. It’s a bit thinner I’d say than other heavy stouts like Old Rasputin for example. Some Belgian breweries use sugar to up the ABV, I wonder if that might be the case here. It does thin out the body a bit. It seems like there is high booze content here.
Well, That’s all Folks! Enough of this Belgian trip, not my cup of tea… err… Beer. I could really use a tasty and hoppy San Diego IPA about now… Proost!

Spent part of the day on a small landscaping project.
Time to relax with some Mind Haze Brain Melter.

Yes, it was a Belgian yeast (BE-256). First time I’ve used that yeast.
Indy 500 today with my son! And we went to the Little 500 short track race in Anderson, IN last night.
Before I opened this local brew I had a few swallows of an HB Belgian blond that’s been sitting in a small keg for around 7 months definitely past it prime as its a bit oxidized, diluted it with water and dumped it by the mulberry tree.
Getting chilly. Time for bonfire and whiskey
That only comes in a variety pack here. I can get packs of the other two but for some reason, they don't distribute this one, the best one IMHO. Mind Haze conspiracy man!

No pic, but I had HB Rice and Oats Ale with dinner. I've had it before, but tonight I smelled it, sipped it and thought "WOW that is good!"
Then I realized that this is likely because the last few beers I have had were dumpers/near dumpers...

From my recent visit to North Park Beer Co. in San Diego - A Brighter Green, triple dry hopped dipa. Hopped with Nelson, Nelson Cryo, Citra DynaBoost, Nectaron Cryo, Rakau, Manilita, and Peacharine. Delicious of course. 
Little taste of HM Chinese rice wine. Pretty tasty.
A Montana beer… cheers @grampamark . I hope you’re doing well. Playing pool. My dad (“grandpa”) lining up his shot.
Your post reminds me such good times. My grandpa Bum, Dad's dad, got a bumper pool table when I was about 10 in 1977. I remember the trip bringing it back to his house. Every summer, I'd stay with both sets of grandparents in Lincoln. Grandpa would later tell stories how I ran the table on his drinking buddies he'd bring over. They'd get so pissed being toasted by this little kid! I guess there wasn't much to do except practice while everyone worked during the day. Sadly, he was the first to pass on, on of all days, Memorial weekend, 1990.
Cheers and play on!
I don't drink RiS's like I used to but a couple a year won't kill you!
