Also had a very nice Tmavé pivo from Halfway Crooks on tap at the cool beer store in an old gas station earlier.
 
Good news: closed on our house in Daphne, AL!
Bad news: now we have two houses!
Good news: got an asking price offer on our Trussville house within 24 hours of listing (did I not ask enough?🤔)!
We are blessed.
OT - something a little stronger than beer after loading, hauling and unloading a bunch of stuff movers won't take. Nothing fancy but definitely enjoyable especially after not having even a beer yesterday (too tired to lift it)!

Time to visit Lamberts in Foley!! YUM!
 
I had the great opportunity to drink one of these Scrimshaw “Pilsner-Style” brews from North Coast Brewing last March. I did so during my world-wide search of great drinking Pilsners and had a ton of comparison brews.

I guess you could add this as an addendum to my previous thoughts on Scrimshaw. I just love it when we have West Coast brewers making essentially German-style brew using all the usual suspects – Munich Malt and continental hops – Hallertauer and Tettnang looking at the website. Scrimshaw is a 4.5% ABV brew.

Well, for starters this is a great tasting brew, but a Pilsner? Most Pilsners I’ve had use pretty much 100% Pilsner Malt or Pilsner with 10% Munich. According to the website, Scrimshaw is produced with Munich malt, and at the 22% IBU, it tastes to me well into the 16-22 IBU Helles range, and not the 22-40 IBU Pilsner range. With the characteristic maltiness provided by the Munich and the 22 IBU, Scrimshaw tastes solidly in the Helles category to me, not the Pilsner. Orangey color seems more Helles-range, a lot of the Pilsners are indeed lighter in color.

So we have a tasty German-like beer here, the only suggestion I have is it be re-categorized as a Helles, which it certainly tastes like to me. Pilsner is a stretch…. Prost!
