Ymm, Beer

[devildeac]

I’m getting a lot more leather in it this go-round than I did in the past. And that ain’t a bad thing.

They had several 4 packs of that in Wegman's when I bought my two 4 packs of Coffee-Infused BBA Sexual Chocolate in cans last week. It was the 2018 version. It was sooooo tempting but I passed when I thought about December deliveries I'd received from Winston-Salem, RVA, Chicago, Ohio and purchases I'd made myself.

Worth pouring again last PM:

Soft Serv-South Street Brewery

I'd move this into the lower tier of cat 3 after savoring it again, mainly based on a moderate amount more bourbon on the palate which conjured up images of chocolate and vanilla ice cream drizzled generously with bourbon.

Thanks again to Nrrrrvous!! Fun beer.

Hmm, I coulda sworn I'd seen this at Total William last month but mighta been the "old model."

Correct. Waiter told me they had so much 2019 Dead & Berried unsold due to the pandemic slowdown that they didn't release a 2020 version.

Thanks for the clarification. Whatcha sampling this weekend?

That is the question I find myself asking... myself this afternoon. (Small Austin Powers reference there)

Solo trip to the mountains this weekend and I don't think there is much left in the fridge up there.

Maybe a couple more Veil smoothies. Been feeling like I need a Vitamin Boost...

Try not to get sloppy.

Amazing what thirst develops after a 2.5 hour drive.

Unfortunately, thanks to {apparently successful, but general-anesthetic-worthy} outpatient surgery this morning, I’m on the DDL (drinking disabled list) until tomorrow.

You'll be permitted to "start drinking in the AM," correct?

[devildeac]

Sunset sky while walking on the beach reminded me of a Veil berry smoothie beer. Getting thirsty.

Mrs. Tripping has the final say. Domestic tranquillity & all that.

Kidding. Mostly. There'll still be a 5 o'clock tomorrow, even if it's 5PM.

Hmm, sounds a bit later than usual. I'll start looking at Tripping Wine in about a month for those 4 packs.

Yeah, typically January. But it’s been, shall we say, an “odd” year.

I’d put their portfolio of IPA’s against anyone’s.
