I had no idea who that was and had to google it. Nope, not Marie Kondo (but I would like to let her loose in my sock drawer) and walk in closet.

The backstory on that is I bought it at a yard sale and recognized it as a possible old Pre WWII Chinese cigarette advertisement. The script looks old Chinese or Taiwanese (pre Communist China). Check out the cylinder of cigarettes on the bench to the left of the lady. I'm thinking the script (in red across the top) may have something to with cigarettes? although the last symbol (rectangle with a line through the middle) is the symbol for China (pronounced Zhong). There is a long story behind that symbol . I speak a little tiny bit of mandarin Chinese and read even less.
I thought the Kaizan thing was her but its not. She had a tv show where does organization by having you hold onto things to see if they bring you joy.

It’s Taco Tuesday. What better opportunity to soak up some fine Mexican Lager than Taco Tuesday! Pacifico is one of the best too!

One thing I learned by drinking nearly every Mexican brew in sight was the high uniformity found between Mexican beer brands. Almost universally, they feature a lowish ABV (Pacifico at 4.4% ABV,) just absolute crystal clarity and relatively similar flavor between many of them. Pacifico was one of my favs – along with Modelo of course!

That looks great!! I was just looking at this recipe last night, was that the one you brewed?
Not this time, its the recipe on AHA, My first time brewing it, brewed exactly as written.
I feel it could be be a touch more bitter to better balance the malt character, so next time ill add a 60min addition to for 15 IBU's.
I've brewed the one you referenced before though and from memory it was a good beer too.
 
Wives are great for pointing out all sorts of things about yourself that you weren’t aware of. In fact, after all these years, she’s good to point out new stuff all the time. One of her favorites is that fact that I never bend over!

“You never bend over to look!” OK, Ok, there have been a FEW instances when bending over might have benefitted me, like the time last week I was trying to find the pizza that got shoved in the refrigerator somewhere behind the milk. Generally speaking however, as a middle-aged dude, there RARELY is much benefit from bending over, for a variety of reasons, refrigerator or otherwise!

Not bending over can have some positive and negative consequences when we are talking the expansive and temperature-controlled Beermeister32 Bierhoard. Not bending over there means I truly can miss out on some spectacular brews. Actually BENDING OVER can also benefit me greatly – such as today when I discovered that there was ONE Sierra Nevada IPA left over from my combination box from last week!

So the jury is still out on bending over. Treacherous spinal dangers aside - and not factoring in the actual shame, humiliation and true indignity of being seen in the derriere-prone positon, you can find some pretty great beers if you look!

@ThirstyPawsHB I know you didn't get your scope out last night, but I did... took this pic of Andromeda with an old azz dslr last night. No editing, 30 second single exposure no stacking.

The lady and I had a couple at the local, German themed tap room while the kid was at soccer practice. 🤫
This is Weihenstephaner Pilsner. We also had a lovely WC Pilsner from Harland brewing. 🍻

No better time than that to grab a beer. I also always used the pregame warm up time to try out new breweries to me when they played away games.
