I just got out to our place in Arizona on the Colorado River for the 4th. Cracked open a Helles from Smog City in Torrance.
What are you drinking now?

Deserve this after my 1st walk since the calf tear 3 months ago, 4.5 miles. Town Lake is nice and flat with no rocks which helped the success rate. Speaking of success, Congratulations @Hoppy2bmerry!
Thank you! I’m glad you’re feeling and moving better!!
A big congratulations on your 41st!!! Here's to many more years!
If I were in you neck of the woods, I'd happily help you unload and I would be very well behaved and I'd stay out of your stash.
If you offered me a glass of something, between the cool stuff you do with rice, the ginger beer, the orangecello (or however you spell that) and your house brown and wheat ales, my brain would likely suffer the blue screen death. There's a lot to choose from and some of it is absolutely unique. Again, I think you run the most eclectic and just pain fascinating brewery that I'm aware of. It's always a joy to see what you're up to!

Congrats, Merry! That's something to be proud of, I couldn't even hold on to my hair for 41 years.

Any pics?
I tapped the Ron Pattinson '71 Boddington clone that I kegged on Sunday. Golly, this is good. I can't recommend it enough, it's a brilliant summer ale.

Brew dog is inquisitive ...
Start with the new company tomorrow. We're fond of saying we've worked for 6 different companies now, but same parking space. SkyWater bought the entire $4billion fully loaded semiconductor facility for $137million. Now that's a return on investment! Hope they know I only need them for a short time more! 
Congratulations on your move @Rish and cheers! Oh, maybe we'll see something besides the bedside table??

And a pint of my ordinary bitter while enjoying the afternoon thunderstorm. After my spring of German beers, it's nice to have my UK-inspired brewery serving UK ales again.
lol, pretty much.
I'd love to talk about hair but this left leg slowly became a "thing" to deal with...so I'm dealing.
I was blessed with very good hair genes from both sides. Full head at 58.

Finished bottling the imperial stout earlier. Cleaned up gear and put it away. Now tomorrow it's brew day, doing a malt liquor (similar to the AHA recipe).
Having a HB pale ale, followed by a Muenchner lager.
I'd post pics, but I keep getting error messages here when attempting to upload.
Edit: I reduced the file size and presto chango, it uploads! Apparently, the Oops Bogeyman no longer likes my 3-4MB image sizes.

Last bottle of my Grimbergen Double Ambrée clone. Malty, hint of caramel sweetness and dark fruit, 8%. Very tasty. It has held up very well, bottled 05/07/2020.

HB Session IPA with Cascade, Cashmere, Columbus, Citra. I brew a lot of these session beers, I guess it's because I like to drink more than one ;-)
I didn’t get to mow the lawn today, but this one’s handy so why not?
@MaxStout @ThirstyPawsHB and @Bramling Cross thank you all for the good thoughts. It’s been 41 years because I’m such a good catch
on account that I’ve become pretty good at brewing beer. 
really he brags a little about my wins.
@Hoppy2bmerry +1 for a spouse that enjoys beer. I tell my dogs of my successful HBs, I get better reaction from them!
The only time I get a reaction from my dog is when he sees me going for the vittles vault.
No, the other one.

Here it is, the showdown of showdowns… Miller Lite vs Coors Light! Two of the biggest sellers in the country!
Before we get in too deep on this, I have to say that I’ve drank more Coors Light than any other beer. We’re talking tons of recycled aluminum Silver Bullets in the recycling bag, for years and years, long before I was into brewing and craft beers. Before that it was Miller Light. These really were the two beers I’ve had the most experience with. Yes, we drank everything, all types - but for everyday light beers, these were it.
Miller started it all. “Tastes great, less filling!” The others soon came into line. “No slowing down with the Silver Bullet tonight!” I really can’t tell you when I made the switch to Coors Light, it seemed like the thing to do at the time. I think maybe Olympia Beer’s progenitor Leopold Schmidt’s famous words, “The lighter the beer, the better it sells” must have made a mark on me. Coors did seem a bit lighter, and more refreshing, something that attracted me at the time. And we drank a lot of Oly too!
Today’s showdown features my favorite palette-cleansing niblets, Murrican salted peanuts! I know all you French drinkers, wine mostly - prefer your wussy little wafers and bread. For me, nothing fits chugworthy brews like good old fashioned roasted peanuts!
So what’s the real skinny here? From someone who has loved both of these beers in huge quantities? Well, after pouring, both have similar head and carbonation levels. About the only visual difference is Coors is maybe one click lighter on the SRM scale than Miller. Maybe that’s what attracted the younger, fresher and more “tuned-up” proto-Beermeister32 away from Miller and on to Coors in the first place!
Today, with a much more trained, refined and aged palette, I have to say I prefer the Miller Lite! It has a slightly more heavy beer flavor to me, the Coors seems lighter, with slightly Apple or Pear-like esters on the crusty old taste buds. These are both refreshing brews, I think with the experience of drinking light beers for 40 years, I’m just amazed that it took me so long for a comparison. Drawing down into the glass, the Miller Lite again has the Coors beat in the lacing department. Check it out!
So where do we go from here? Despite my love of Coors Light, I’ll be looking at those Miller Lites a lot more closely next time I’m loading a 36-pack into the cart! Enjoy!
