Aldi citrus wheat with tangerine peels, 4%. Not bad.
Well here we are Saturday, a day after the 4th of July. Partygoers around the country are drinking beer and eating everything from chips and bean dip to hamburgers, hot dogs and BBQ.
The Beermeister32 clan is spread out all across the country. I was given a heads up for an interesting brew from Beer-Loving Daughter #3 from one of her favorite ale houses – Wise Man Brewing out of North Carolina. Even though she made the trek to Michigan to search out cooler weather for the holiday, she appears to have brought along some of the oddities of North Carolina rather than imbibing in the local brew, like Bells Two Hearted IPA!
So I’m drinking Michigan brew in California. She’s in Michigan but drinking North Carolina brew from her home town of Winston-Salem. Of course!
So I guess it’s a Tale of Two Cities, er, a Tale of Two Brews! One of which I’m really familiar with - Bell’s makes a terrific and predictable 7% ABV “American IPA” whatever that is. To me it shares more West-Coast hopping and clarity characteristics than a Fuzzy-Fruity-Muddy NE brew. Obviously, she must have been showing off the North Carolina brew to the folks in Michigan, but really? Love Paradox is well named - White Stout with White Chocolate and Coffee? Has it really come to this??? 5.1% ABV, 24 IBU, Love Paradox is a golden color brew that answers some of those paradoxical questions, but like “Real Love,” can really keep ya guessing! Go Blue!

Panther Piss Bum Strength. Now that I don’t need the keg, it’s sucking yeast again. Spiteful!

Decided not to wait until it's done fermenting 
at about 3.5% now and some bubbles - a good time waiting to happen (and almost certainly a headache).

A couple Lagers from ASB and a sour - yum!! There's a foster kitty in there, lol. (Yesterday)

Good on ya for fostering kittens. Our daughter does that too. Three litters in the past year. She says it’s tough to give them up, but she takes solace in knowing all have found good homes.
As it should be.

Snacking a bit with a glass of wine.
I’ll join you…
I’m the proud owner of a new used 5th wheel camper. It needs a few minor repairs here and there, but nothing major. Can’t wait to use it… almost twice the interior space as my old one with no slides.
HB grape wheat. Got bounced around during the move which I didn't think about so not so clear and a tad yeasty but pretty good.
Fizzy Water.

Somehow, someway my Kentucky Common is still on tap. It is one of my top 5 favorite home brews to date.
Happy 5th of July!

I picked up a six pack at the brewery in Chico last week. I hadn’t had this beer in almost 20 years.
Served with the tri-tip I’ve been grilling

Wish I had a recipe. Website is in French, and I went so far as to have my former-highschool-French-teacher wife help me compose an intelligible email asking for a recipe. Never heard back; not terribly surprising, given the current international climate.
