Follow-up from our friend: "If you need a contact from the class of 1984, send me a PM, and I can put the two of you in touch with each other so that they can know who to expect for the pick-up."

Last night’s local spotlight included Coffee is for Closers, and Trophy Wife.
Both went great with egg casserole.
Note to davec:
Doesn't look like we'll get to the area until about 4 PM to catch the last part of the rehearsal, have dinner and then attend "learn with the conductor," required attendance for the family .
Therefore, no 450 North or ZwanzigZ visits.
I *may* try to grab a howler from ZwanzigZ as I think we drive very close to the brewery and pizzeria on our way to the concert.

Attributed to the Love Ninja this evening:
“Brueprint ought to call their Coconut Lime Sour ‘Aruba’, because it reminds menof when we were there.”
Worth repeating:
Raspberry Tart (2018)-New Glarus Brewing Company
One of only three beers Mrs. dd will drink and I *graciously* shared half a 12 ounce bottle with her this evening. Well, perhaps not that graciously but there were no fisticuffs.
Once again, easily understood why this is #2 on beeradvocate's top 100 fruit beer list. It remains superb. Sweet, tart/sour, effervescent, fruity. woody and tantalizing.
My NG beer mule has changed jobs effective mid-January so I'm not sure if/how/when I'll see any more NG products.

Worth repeating, part 2:
Wild Sour Ale (2018)-New Glarus Brewing Company
This is *not* a beer Mrs. dd likes (she did humor me with a small sip) so 11.5 ounces all for me!
I don't think much has changed from last fall when I think I purchased this on a beer, err, Duke football trip to the Northwestern game.
I think this rivals any Belgian sour with its acetic nose, and puckery, woody mouthfeel of sour berries and cherries, but not anywhere near the sourness of a Destihl product.
Highly recommended if you visit Wisconsin or worth a trip from the Chicago area to pick up an assortment of NG products.

Very intriguing. Will be keeping an eye out for Suncrush.
Last of my Ohio gifted beers. Another exceptional beer from Jenny O's. Black Maple. Imperial porter brewed with maple syrup and aged in bourbon barrels. A little malty but some smokiness, sweet from the maple and a bourbon finish. From 2018, 11%. Really smooth. Just another great beer. I'm planning a trip to Ohio , the beers are that good.
Hmm, we'll be in Columbus on Sunday afternoon and leave Monday AM. Most coincidentally, our son has a "trip" planned to Kenny Road Market, less than a mile from his house, and they just happen to have about 8 aisles and 3 coolers full of beers at what is really best described as a "convenience store."

Beer cocktail from last PM:
Raspberry Tart and Wild Sour Ale (both 2018)-New Glarus Brewing Company
Take equal part of each, pour into a cocktail glass, sip and enjoy.
Tasted like a raspberry-cherry lemonade that was a bit "light" on the sugar. A pleasantly tart, yet somewhat sweet concoction that would pair well with a plate of fresh fruits.

Hardywood Virginia Blackberry
A nose of vinegar and wet hay.
A nice sour blackberry fruit pop up front that finishes like a wheated belgian tripel.
Quite a nice sipper on a rainy afternoon.
