Holy guacamole! WOW! That’s a lot of good eating. I used to hunt wild hogs on a ranch in central CA. The owner/ guide kept telling me I should get a second pig tag and take a little 60-80 lb one because they’re easy to cook whole. I thought maybe that’s what you had going on there. I was way off.
I've done some smaller pigs, sure they are easier to deal with as far as weight and smoker size needed. But we've found the bigger ones actually cook better. Meat stays more moist and its more forgiving considering we are using a true wood fired smoker so temp control is dependent on someone tending to it on the regular for 18 to 20 hours. Though we have it dialed in now as far as what to expect and we can keep it right around 250f without too much fluctuations. This was our 9th annual roast and my buddy and I have done several other for ppl as well. We had about 70 guests and we'll have plenty of pork for a while haha. Oh, and we buy our pigs from a local butcher at .94c per pound its hard to beat.Holy guacamole! WOW! That’s a lot of good eating. I used to hunt wild hogs on a ranch in central CA.

Out back in the gazebo, on a perfect 70F day. Having a big honkin' margarita.

A bit pale, but a nice head on it.
Sorry. It's been in the 90s F for the last couple of days. Cooled a bit now, and it's been nice to sit out with a gallon or two of cider.
(I think you call it hard cider, but it's not hard to drink although when you fall over, that's hard).

Right now a little for me and the rest for the chili.
Yesterday dinner out, I drank my beer from the water glass
not a fine dining restaurant and might be run by heathens.

Little bit of maltiness, sweetness. Not bad.

So this isn’t now; it was last night. But I revisited an old friend - nearly a thousand years old.
I still can’t believe it’s only $4 a bottle.

The simple goodness of a fine Pilsner can’t be overstated. Warsteiner is one fine Pilsner!
Hippy Sippy store was fully loaded. Checking this version out. Not too shabby
Another Hippy find usually only on Tavour for me. BA aged since 2022. Got a little heat but all the flavors. Impressive!
I was a BA for many years, hence the weight gain! That last one of the best beer I've had in a few years and inspired me to brew something like it.
Anyway, onto a light 10%er

A bottle from my dwindling supply of chocolatey* Belgian Dark Strong... It's coming up on 8 months in the bottle, and it is delightfully intoxicating (and pretty danged delicious)!
* from the official CandiSyrup recipe, but switched a few things (2.75 gallon batch):

swap D-90 for the usual D-180

HB chocolate mandarin stout. Age has certainly improved this one, need to make another batch as soon as I can get my hands on some lactose.
I cut the grass again today, so it's time for another TBoF. Here's what's left from the bomber...
I find I'm tempted to cut the grass much more often with this batch in the 'fridge...

Peace Offering, a 5.8% cold pressed stout from Pryes Brewing in Minneapolis. Brewed with Peace Coffee. Not bad, kind of tastes like cold, carbonated coffee.
Another fine day for a margarita.
AL brewed POG gose. Nice tropical flavor, not too tart.
HB NEIPA
Enjoying the cooler, fall like temperatures this week.
Been thinking about @grampamark after learning about his health issues a few months back. I hope everything is ok in Big Sky Country.

Today I’m breaking away from my diet and indulging in a couple California classics – A Double-Double Cheeseburger with grilled onions from IN-N-OUT and a delicious and traditional Atomic Torpedo 9.2% IPA from Sierra Nevada!
California’s favorite carnivorous indulgence is soon to be Tennessee’s favorite son too, but that’s another story! Today’s IPA is in the form of a blender using my go-to mixer, Budweiser Zero. When you are dieting, sometimes all you can think about is MEAT! Guilty as charged!
I was impressed by the marketing folks from one of the other burger companies. They were trying to move people from Single Hamburger sales up to Double Hamburgers. A great way to push up profits a few points! So how did they do it? By introducing TRIPLE-decker Hamburgers! Human buying tendencies are hilarious – Given a choice between a Single, a Double and a Triple-decker Hamburger, all of a sudden the “Double” seemed like a more reasonable choice! Directing buyers to Double Burgers by offering the gluttonous Triple. Sheer genius!
I still have much of the box of IPAs left, thankfully - will continue drinking these. A half-rack of IPAs, what a great idea!

Sounds great! Reminds me of Mexican Cake (one of my all time favorites) brewed by Westbrook but bigger. Hope I can get set up to brew at this new house soon and brew my attempt at the MC clone again.

Do you brew small batches? You seem to have a plentiful amount of different styles every week.
That sounds AMAZING. Looks good too… self designed recipe or did you find a recipe to try?
I’m at my Canadian “other” home right now, getting ready to close up and head back to the States. Had to chuckle when I saw this. Up here a Double Double is brewed coffee with 2 creams and 2 sugars. Yours looks much better LOL
I've done multiple versions of Cigar city Hanahpu. Hopefully a great winter beer! Good luck to you and post!
This is pretty good.

Yeah I always enjoyed his contributions here, hope all is well up there.
I can't do 60-70hr work weeks like I used to. Guess the batteries are insufficiently charged here..

Beer. Because you can’t drink bacon.
More lemon water, because we’re having a 30°C (86 F) heatwave!
Just getting our summer heat now after a cool, rainy couple of months. I’m craving a sour ( or 6! ) but only a couple days to wait.
Finished the first stage of ‘Moto’ with my Sakè, and now it’s time for the first rest at 8°C (46.4 F) for 3 more days. I was very excited to see the bubbler starting to come alive after the first day in the fridge. It’s blooping every couple of seconds. Seems this yeast enjoys a bit of cold. Wow!
