Dunkelweizen for the Friday Fish Grill!
I’ll have to look for some of their beers when I visit in the spring. Will likely have a connecting flight there (Charlotte) but will spend majority of my time in Wilmington and Mt. Airy area
Woo hoo indeed. You'll catch the beginning of beer week!

And the first pumpkin beer of the year...maybe the last, lol
Fieldwork Brewing, Adrianne. A 9.5% Belgian style Tripel.
Still working my way through my 6-pack of ACME. I love it when brewers keep an old standard going and going and going!
Last time I think I mentioned something to the effect that ACME was the bouncing tennis ball of the beer industry. Once a staple of the California market, ACME would have been recognized by our Grandparents! “Still drinkin’ that Sonny? Why I remember when ACME was brought back after prohibition!”
Originally spun out of the mind of Olympia Beer founder Leopold Schmidt, ACME was around in the early 1900’s with a brewery out of San Francisco, not far from the Embarcadero. It’s still a great area… Good times!

In that spirt, here's the UK IPA I've been posting. The grist is bog standard, but I've put a twist in the hopping technique.
OG: 1.047
FG: 1.007
46 IBU
Water: 2.5:1 Sulfate/Chloride
90% Warminster Maris Otter
10% Invert #1
Strike at 148F/64.5C for 30min
Underlet to 158F/70C for 30min
Minimize your sparge volume by maximizing the underlet volume
28 IBU EKGs @ 60min
14 IBU EKGs @ 20min
5 IBU whirlpool @170F for 40min (that's 2oz for a 6gal batch)
1oz EGK keg hops/5gal keg
Ferment with an attenuative UK strain. I used Jasper Yeast's version of the Fullers strain because it's far more attenuative than Pub/WY1968. If you can't get Jasper, use the Thames Valley strain. Pub/WY1968 will make a nice ale, but it'll drink fatter and lack the assertively dry finish.

I googled “meth beer” and now I’m probably on a “list” dammit.

Pre gaming for Mott the Lessor and I told myself I didn't need to buy beer this week. Visited TH today and saw this interesting thing at local farm stand
OT - (off topic) fall in new England. My brother who's a landscaper said this maple would die within a year when I bought the house. That was 25 years ago. Has a severe rooted trunk and taken hits by bigger beautiful trees that have taken a lot of others out but in fall? She's especially beautiful

We have a battered dogwood that looks about the same as your maple and similarly refuses to expire. We also have a much bigger maple that is riddled with ants and a red squirrel nest bored inside the trunk that inevitably is going to fall down one of these stormy winter days, but The Spousal Unit decided it reminds her of Venus De Milo and won't let me do anything to it. I just hope it falls away from the house
Cheers!
Cheers!
Errrr one of those bigger beautiful trees took out my furnace vent pipe in the spring. That hurt. Plus my lay-z boy is about 3' from impact. New furnace next week! A couple of my friends have told me to make a huge lawn and cut those big trees. Sometimes I wonnder
You'll notice some baby maples underneath it just in case

Well, maybe about too much alcohol at the liquor shop, but I can't take it home 
and I will not dump it

HB 14% Mead...too big of a pour?
This time of night that big a pour of anything in the teens would portend "Lights OUT!" in short order for me 
Cheers! (Blessedly, I don't get hangovers from home brew)

Okay, I'm dead
Tried to slowly leave behind breadcrumbs for the MacGruber fans tonight. Clearly didn’t work. Haha.

I've been noticing you seem to have a ~270 mile long direct line to Tree House and enjoy more of their offerings than anyone I know aside from @TheDudeLebowski 
He's my buddy
Aaaand there will be a majority of a bottle porch bomb arriving to my buddy soon.
