Taking notes in an eager fashion that I haven't displayed since my first day of college...
Don't try this at home, or sober, or with osha around.. im in the bucket, with a power washer spraying the tree branch that caught fire, it was high up and didn't want the tree to keep burning...

Let's road trip to Alabama
@MaxStout & @Bramling Cross , I appreciate the thought but I've pretty much got it covered since we're loading Tuesday! But if y'all want to come down to Daphne and help unpack, I have about 10 cases of various homemade alcoholic beverages I'd be tickled to share!

You know, weight's a funny thing. I weigh myself every morning at the exact same time under the exact same circumstances. After drinking last night and stepping on the scale this morning, guess what? To my wife's, "FU" after hearing this, I lost a pound. Yep, lost weight. Well, why not try an experiment? Down the hatch they go!
Oh, found this PhP glass in perfect condition for 50¢ at Goodwill!

A pint of my Mena Dhu stout clone. Brewed it in September and down to last few bottles. The original is brewed by the St Austell brewery in Cornwall. Mena Dhu is Cornish for Black Hill. It’s a smoked stout but only a hint of smokiness.
Sounds like the Tellen Du (Black Harp) from Bretagne that I've been trying to clone for awhile.
 
Well, it might have lost the popular vote as my contest submission for Illusive 's 9th birthday HB competition amongst my home brew club, but it's definitely the beer I'll reach for in a 33°C garden in the evening.

3.5% Table Saison with BRU-1 and Nelson. Also might be the palest beer I've ever brewed. Pilsner/flaked wheat/malted oats/rye malt.

4.6% single hop, Citra hazy pale from Maverick down in Hampshire

Lovely beer, great body, smells and tastes like a freshly opened bag of citra hops. I can not immediately recall the last time I had a beer with this kind of impact

T90, Citra BBC & spectrum all used - very tasty stuff

I’m a big fan of “the good stuff” on the back of the can

It just goes to show, sometimes you need to dig deep into the bierhoard to pull out the real gems. In this case, a “Lost Can” of Lost Coast Brewery’s PILZ!

Beermeister32 is indeed a dedicated Pilsner lover. Anytime I can find other breweries out there making excellent Pilsners, I’m in! I actually drank one of these last March when I was doing the "West Coast and more" Pilsner search. Lost Coast is out of Eureka, California. Eureka is a coastal area with some of the twistiest roads getting there, either up the coast or over the hills. I can remember years ago we did a bunch of work on the Pelican Bay State Prison, Crescent City - not too far up the road. Thankfully, I was able to take a quick hop on a regional flight from San Jose to Eureka, I’m not sure I wanted to do that drive again. Barf!

Lost Coast has the recipe dialed in too – Using German hops – Tettnanger and Hallertau Mittelfrüh - which are responsible for much of its classic flavor profile. PILZ is a 5% ABV Lager, again, threading that needle in the 4.8 – 5.1 or so ABV range for classic Pilsners. Decent head, clarity and good lacing, this is a great beer, snag yourself a few cans next time you’re in the singles aisle or better yet a sixer! Prost!

Deserve this after my 1st walk since the calf tear 3 months ago, 4.5 miles. Town Lake is nice and flat with no rocks which helped the success rate. Speaking of success, Congratulations @Hoppy2bmerry!
Thank you! I’m glad you’re feeling and moving better!!
