Just got in from some target practice with my muzzleloader to prepare for an upcoming pronghorn antelope hunt. Between the heat and allergies, I decided to pack it in and try again another day.

Our teaching faculty hits the Brews Hall regularly; Lil' Mexi is a fave.
All this talk of rain and wind; no one mentioned how humid and hot it would be when a tropical storm rolls in. It requires something cold, bought at Costco yesterday when the rest of the world was losing it s mind. You'd think that water and TP would be trading currency after Hilary rolls through.
My day started at 3;30 AM, made a quick cup of coffee in the Keurig, and headed to the boat, I cleared the jetty at 5:10 , hauled the first lobster pot 15 minutes latter, I was back at the dock cleaning the boat by 7:30 with 9 keeper lobsters in tow, back home, my wife fired up the steam pot, while she prepared breakfast, I went to the garden picked some corn, red peppers and a few jalapeno peppers..after a western omlet with the fresh peppers we steamed up the lobsters.. which brings me to the beer part, summer in New England. Fresh caught lobster, home grown corn and a mug of home brew Saison.. life is good today.

Nice cold one after a 10 hour road trip to visit aunt and uncle on Merritt Island, FL.
Muzzleloader cleaned and ready for another day. It sure is fun to shoot, but what a dirty stinky mess to clean.

X2. That driving is thirsty work!
Modern WCIPA all Pilsner malt underneath Nelson and Cashmere WP/DH. 8.2% abv. Flavor for days - can’t wait for the next batch.
I'm sitting here in the office today watching the rain come down. We don’t get tropical rainstorms here in Cali that often. I go outside and it is murky warm, rainy and wet. Heck, they need water to grow hops right? Sounds like a great opportunity to break out this heavyweight hop bomb I’ve been hiding in the fridge this past month.
First off, I clearly must have missed the ABV on this can of lighter fluid at the store. Wow 9.2% ABV. I usually like my brews in a nice respectable, orderly and Teutonic 5% ABV range. I can party twice as long that way. 9.2 is a bit much for me.
Sierra Nevada’s done a terrific job however hiding it. The tasty hoppy brew hides a warming alcohol behind a surprisingly solid malt base. This is a great IPA, but they didn’t pull the hops that forward relative to the malt – it’s still there. Great head, great lacing, I’m picking up citrus notes, maybe a touch of pine. Maybe some Simcoe there, I can’t be sure.
So this is a terrific and muscular IPA for all you cheapskates out there who want great flavor, but want to get hammered hard and fast while leaving you some sober-up cash for Macky Days afterward. Reasonably priced for what you’re getting, basically double the booze, plus you get my favorite 19.2 oz cans. You can sleep it off behind the bleachers. Drink up.

One of my favorite beers of the year. In an incredibly appropriate glass. We are lucky to get this pretty much every year. I've made lagers 2/3 as good as this, but I doubt I'll ever get any closer.
HB Vienna lager
The good stuff.
Sierra Nevada never disappoints. Especially if you still want some malt to back up your hops. A very old school beer with the results of the week's meal prep in the fore ground.
First full pour of my latest wcipa. Pouring a little foamy. First time using this particular no-name floating dip tube, perhaps that's the cause. Plan is to drink the keg dry, then perform a post mortem.
Call me old fashioned... but I've always liked tits.
Started harvesting wheat today. Had a breakdown with one combine that will take quite awhile to fix tomorrow. Work on Sunday, fix on Monday.

ps away and trash bunker in front. My favorite hole on this practice par3 course.
Trying to get something in before it hits 150f for the 500th time this summer. Trying to talk wife into moving to Nebraska....might take a while to convince her.

Stopped in 2 local breweries yesterday Schwartz bier and an Oktoberfest. 
PhP Belgian Blond. Hits all the characteristics. Nice Hazy PA sample also.
Literally my favorite cake since a kid...and not because of my German heritage neither. Grandparents in Lincoln made it every year for me as a kid. My family..."You like carrot cake right??"
PhP 'Layers of Flavors ' WCIPA
Probably the best I've ever had. Great bitter/clear/clean. Hoppiness through out.

Now for the reason I showed up... Electric Jellyfish
Back to the Volume Hazy PA..6%
Another Belgian Blond. Probably won't drink again for 2 weeks soo
, make it worth it!
That’s a beauty!
Dry stout action
HB ginger Maibock, taking a last taste before I dump the keg. (Tastes good, except … way too much ginger.)
Don't dump it! With some vodka and little lime juice you could make Moscow mules.
/only half joking
//would try it, though
Noooo.....ginger is so good for you!!
Blend it?
This is actually a much less than half crazy idea.
TBC
Well-Known Boozer!
Actually never heard of them before. Just looked them up. The next time I‘m down that way I’ll try to check them out.
A little vodka, little gin, little lime..not bad.
Don’t let her see this…Trying to get something in before it hits 150f for the 500th time this summer. Trying to talk wife into moving to Nebraska....might take a while to convince her.
Southern Nebraska panhandle this afternoon… it’s a dry heat.
