A man after my own heart. I just bottled an imperial stout that sat for about 7 months on bourbon soaked oak cubes. Its only been in the bottle about 9 days. I’m patiently waiting.

Troeg’s and Rainbow? Where’d you find Rainbow on this side of the Rockies? There’s some amazing Brown trout south of Gettysburg on the Fishing Creek near Camp David/Thurmont area.

Spent the day driving from Bakersfield, CA, to Paso Robles. Stopped at the truck stop along CA-46 where James Dean made his last fuel stop before heading West (literally and figuratively) before his fatal car crash in the 50s. Spending the night dry camping at Four Sisters winery, courtesy of Harvest Host.
We did a tasting and dropped a couple of bills purchasing wine and other goodies to please SWMBO’d. I settled on a sixer of Firestone Walker Hopnosis, an all-cryo hopped IPA. Very clean WCIPA. Haven’t figured out what hops are in it, but I suspect CTZ and a lot of Citra. The ‘better half’ is enjoying a very nice Cab from the winery.
Life is Good.

Hopnosis is a fine beer. FW says all cryo, both US & NZ. My palate is unable to venture a guess as to which ones.

Darn good.
We fish a small stream in Southern Somerset County, PA. I'm in central PA and a lot of the streams get stocked with rainbow, browns, and the occasional brook.

I remember about 30 years ago somebody thought it would be a ‘great’ idea to stock Hunting Creek with Rainbow trout. When Ike was President, he had loved snagging Browns in the wild, cascading stream when he visited Camp David (named, BTW, for his Grandson David Eisenhower).
A smart naturalist pointed out that the mixed species of Browns and Rainbows would upset the natural balance of the stream, and the plan got axed at the last minute.
There have been quite a number of world leaders who have dipped a line in those waters in the Maryland Catoctin Mountains.
Three cheers to Firestone walker and Harvest Hosts! Every time we stay at a brewery or winery, we drop waaay more cash than we ever would at upscale RV parks. But way more fun, and have met some really great people.

In Warrington we have the famous Mersey Trout.
After cutting grass again for the third time and its not even May. Sitting out front with a cigar and a little sip of rum. If it grows together it goes together, right?

I grew up with Cognac and Pernod liquor as a kid.
HB wheat
Around here everyone drinks Ricard, not so much Pernod. But I'll drink either.
Started our afternoon on the deck. Then the rain started. Not enough to water anything, just enough to annoy us. So we moved the deck chairs inside the garage.

JinxProof Lager by 3 Floyds.
My Kung Fu Sifu in California was from Czechoslovakia. He was both a congac and ginsing fan. He told me, when moving to Austin in 1994, to soak a ginsing root in a bottle of congac for 1yr then take 1 shoot before bed once/week. I will not lie, I wouldn't give that concoction to my worst enemy!
Needless to say, it turned me off to the liquor. Anyway, OT...
Very tasty Lexington Brewing beer, 12% abv. This would probably age well but I doubt I'll ever find out!

Citra black IPA HB.
I doubt it. I am currently in Morris, Illinois on a business trip.
Been a while since I tried starting this bad boy up from cold and dark then hand hand fly from KLAX to KSFO, in VR. This 18% should help! Anyone need a ride? 
Brewing question. Anyone ever use Kveik for a big Russian Imperial Stout? Looking at 13%ish. I'm looking at using Lutra for a clean finish but never used it.
