A glass of that overly dry hopped blonde that I made.

Today has been a great day! A couple weeks ago I sent MaxStout some dry Kolsch sachets that I nabbed during the pandemic. I came home to a big USPS mailer full of coasters and stickers from the magnificent MaxStout. It's no joke, it's a no BS horde of stickers. Sticker dragons would happily sleep on this trove of stickers.
Time to pimp the red tool box, boys!

Any thoughts on that beer?
I've only had their sours, back in 2018, then this. This was a fantastic beer. Great BA. Wasn't overly heavy or sweet. Flavors were on point.Any thoughts on that beer?
When I went home to Oregon last year, for the first time in nearly twenty years, I was frothing at the mouth to tour the Pfriem brewery. Then I had a six pack, then another six pack, then another six pack of their lager and decided, as much as I love going out to Hood River, going out to see Pfriem ain't worth the bother.
When I started the Panther Piss project, they were a major driver of my interest in the style. When I finally got a chance to taste their stuff, it was deflating. They really, really, bummed me out. Their lagers aren't even clear!
Now that's a fancy boiler maker!Happy hour. Blueberry whiskey and big wave draught. View attachment 850175
