Prime strips and corn for father's day dinner, "low cal" beer while cooking. Better beer when I'm not outside at 90+ degrees later

The fruited sour earlier to celebrate my mother in-law’s birthday with lunch. Then the tradition of the DFH 120 Minute with my father in-law. Not pictured an OH Session IPA. Then the HB DH American Pilsner. Lastly a Big Muncheez Truck Stout from Swiftwater Brewing Company.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
 
Eduard von Grützner was a great painter in the 1800’s-early 1900’s. He specialized in painting Monk brewers. Monasteries were given brewing authority by Monarchs and they used the revenue to support the Monasteries.

Munich / Muenchen town name derives from “by the Monks place”.

So anyway, many of his paintings show the Monks enjoying the labors of their work, usually with turnips, radishes, bread and a chunk of meat.

Well what the heck, not sure if I ever was fed a turnip, but I know what the rest taste like. So today at the store I decided to walk the same path as our fellow Monk brewers and eat a turnip with a beer.

My selection for today is Hacker Schorr, brewed in Munich, Munchner Gold lager. On the plate is a fresh turnip. So how does it taste with the beer? Not bad, sort of like a radish without the spiciness. Not quite potato, not quite radish. Sort of in between. Good to shake some salt on the plate to press the chunks into. Beer tastes good too. Not bad!!!

Prost!
