Local hazy from Casa Agria. And Willow the Cat.

My first instinct was to say, "Give the guy a break, it's not easy getting late game experience." Then I looked at the board.

Seriously, black, show some self respect, there ain't no (!) that's gonna save you.
He played it out all the way to checkmate...like 12 more moves.

The first one is a NYS Pils by Steuben Brewing Company. All NYS ingredients and it was damn good.
The second was a collaboration with Steuben at Other Half FLX. This one was super grassy (like drinking lawn clippings) and no where as good as the other Pilsner. Hopefully the other non-IPA from OH is better than this last one.
Wanted these on this balmy night in Western NY.
 
My just kegged Oktoberfest/Marzen.
Got tired of orange O'fests. I found Hubert Hanghofer's Ur-Marzen recipe and tweaked it a bit. Turned out nice. It seemed to emulate what I used to get many years ago before the "Festbier" replaced the original Oktoberfest. In particular, Hofbrau had a great O'fest back then - dark and very easy to drink. Not quite there, yet, but still working on it. I'm thinking some Munich Dark might be the answer.
 
Can farming be less work than a brewery? That farming stuff looks like real work.
Most of the heavy lifting in farming has been reduced by technology. There’s still a certain amount of manual labor. Just climbing up and down the ladders which provide access to the cabs of our tractors and combines is a pretty good workout. The operator’s seat is 8-9 feet up and one gets in and out of a machine multiple times a day. But brewing, on the typical brewpub scale, involves a lot of schlepping grain bags, scooping out mash tuns, etc., and, if brewing 4-5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, doesn’t give the brewer a break. At least most of the manual labor involved with my occupation is seasonal; I have the winter to heal up.

Well when you put it like that

You'd hire people to do the heavy lifting and just do the brew mastering!!!
