Wheat Stout while grilling the Friday fish.
I left the green brush (unused) next to my glass and came back to find my 4 yr old painting the table with it. There was beer residue on the brush so I asked if he had dipped it in the beer. He was silent for a few seconds then said, "I'm not answering questions right now"
Also, the heat from a big flair up slightly melted my red bowl...

Here we are, the final episode of the 2025 Helles indulgence! Today we wrap up with my favorite Helles of all time, Hofbrauhaus Helles Lager!

This brew needs no introduction either – as the main brew served at the Munich Mothership as well as nifty and sacred regional beer temples such as the Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas – this is a fantastic and malty Helles.

Taste is perfection and features a Helles-perfect 4.9% ABV and a 19 IBU. This is one that is designed for chugging in large quantities! I’m in fact almost through this 500 ml/16.9 ouncer and I haven’t even touched my Bavarian pretzel! Perfect head, perfect lacing, perfect color, clarity and carbonation – I mean, what the heck else is there in life? I say soak it up – CHUG! Prost!

After those 2 delicious hamburgers, I've decided to go Vegan..for the rest of the evening. Thanks Stone for helping me!

Thanks @BongoYodeler. It was a bit over 1lbs low, no leak found. Bad capacitor, but not the starting cap. He had a bunch of cool Bluetooth gadgets. Once he found out I'm a technical person he explained what he's looking for and where the issues were. I still need to do some air handling coil cleaning this fall. He quoted $5000 for them to do it...thanks, but no thanks!

We had a stonker of a T-storm roll through around dinner time. Once the dishes were clean I went out and verified that the maintenance that I performed on my soft top's plumbing had worked and confirmed that I didn't have a footwell full of water. It was cooler and kinda nice, so I decided to steal a march on tomorrow morning and clean and condition the seats and the dash.

A glass of the new batch of Panther Piss to celebrate my industriousness and can do attitude.

Soft top?? You have my attention.. elaborate?!?!
 
Great beer, underrated i think. I do love the combo of darker beers and hops.

Stone and Wood currently have a Cascadian ale i think as a one off/seasonal. Like White rabbit but on steroids.

No worries!, i grabbed the last 4 pack at my local Dan's. No beer in July and none in August but i will definately crack one of these on the 1st of Sept haha
 
It’s nothing to get excited about, just an ND Miata. Black wasn’t my first choice, but I’m cheap. Right car, right price, right time.

I dig it, it's a momentum car, I've watched the MX5 class run at Watkins glen when I'm there for IMSA weekend, lots of fun to watch. I drove an older mazdaspeed miata before also, cool car. Black looks great when it's clean, but man they can be tough to keep clean haha. My M5 is carbon black, I think I wash it as much as I drive it.
 
Beer-Thirty somewhere! Before the injury, bought this deck coating to try out here before using on the deck itself. But all along, I was thinking of making a concrete top here, instead of boards then buy those faux bricks for the wall. Or maybe after a few beers I'll just tear it all down and start from scratch. 🤔
