When I read "day 5 of going up to AK," I assumed you were going up the inland passage. Oh, you're doing it the hard way, nice! I did that thirty years ago. It makes you think a bit differently and is well worth doing. It left a mark on me. A good one.Day 5 of going up to AK. Traveled from Ft. Nelson, BC, to Watson Lake, YT. No breweries here, but the hotel bar will do.

Suarez makes the best pilsners.Feels like it's the 3rd possible night for a bonfire during this wet jungle of a summer. All logs are covered in moss and shrooms.
Took all of two seconds to realize it was a dumb idea. Skeeters!

Thanks for the inspiration, Rish! I'm close enough to the end of the process that I can start thinking about closing down one fermentation fridge and using it as a storage vessel for some celebratory beers. Tomorrow, I'll be brewing a somewhat large UK brown porter for that purpose. I've been trying to figure out what to do with the cake. Burton Ale is too big and it'll sit around in the keg for too long, a big stout is, well, been there done that. Murphy's...that's kinda like a robust porter. I like that idea!Murphy's stout in a fancy hotel glass. Still tastes great!View attachment 827913
