It’s definitely back to summer here, but that won’t stop me.

A little after dinner drink. Great aroma and taste.

Mix that 50/50 with some scotch and you have a rusty nail. One I used to drink more in my younger days.

Edit - recipe says
  • 1 1/2 ounces scotch
  • 3/4 ounce Drambuie
I guess I used to like it sweeter

Recently made a Kolsch and during transfer to corney keg I seen this bug. I don't know how it got in primary bucket as it was closed lid.
It wasn't floating but half way down clinging to bucket which gave me concern it got in during the finished wort transfer from the boil.
I hoped it got boiled up and just kegged it anyway. It's my first Kolsch so can't relate the taste to another of mine.
It tastes ok though like other Kolsch I've had. No hint of infection. But I'll not reuse this yeast.
I don't know what kind of bug it is. Maybe a young japanese beetle, stinkbug, or ?
If it was a roach, I'd toss it. Too gross for me and I'm not from Texas. :yes:

Last night, at the Olive Garden in Billings (only place nearby still open at 9PM).

Server brings menus, I look at the beer list. It says “draught beer-Bud Light and Blue Moon”. I told the server “you don’t have any beer on tap”. He says, “Oh we have Street Fight”. I should have guessed. It’s the unofficial, official beer of Billings. Available almost everywhere adult beverages are served. It’s a really good Irish Red, brewed by a small, local, brewery called Angry Hank’s. Good stuff.
