Done with the yard work. Out back with a summer refresher. Aerosmith's Get Your Wings on the bluetooth box.

Well it’s time for another Summertime sunny and bright West Coast IPA! This time it is Double Actuator by Bottle Logic Brewing, established 2013 in Anaheim, California. From our Beer Studies 101, when you see any beer ending in “ator” going back to our brewing forefathers in Germany, look out! Big and Boozy! Well is that the case here?

Before I subjected this Double Actuator to the indignity of becoming a Bud-Zero blender, I tried it straight-up, and it is one fantastic double brew. Not heavy at all, and leaning heavily on Mosaic hops, there’s tasty flavor and great aroma additions here! This is a delish 8.5% ABV, 80 IBU Double IPA. I pulled up the Bottle Logic website, and the Double Actuator page shows 10% ABV which defies Logic, er Bottle Logic! Either way, 8.5% or 10%, this is very TASTY IPA, definitely put it on your Drink-List for the week. Cheers!

Sounds like the Black White House:D
Locally there was a steer that escaped from a truck on the way to slaughter. He hid in the nearby pine barrens and people’s yards so long that I had thought he was likely in someone’s freezer. The police and a recuse group started calling him Barney. The beer Barney on the run, is named for him. Barney was eventually captured and sent to a sanctuary farm.
 
I sure hope you haven't been hit with those floods. And more rain for TX. :oops:
Yeah, pretty awful. My son/DiL live in North West Austin area and were right on the border of the 16in rainfall so they missed the heavy stuff. However, they lived in Wimberly on the Blanco River when that flooded in 2015. They were about 50yrds from the river, uphill, and the water still hit their back steps. We, however, live in a weather cone-of-silence which is one of my arguments with my wife for staying in Austin instead of moving. Thanks for asking my HBT friend!
