Beer Time

Today it's Bear Republic's Red Rocket, it's an Amber Ale, 6.8% ABV. Sweet malts and caramel, and a slight hoppy taste. Nice dry finish with a medium body. Very tasty, glad I was turned onto this brewery. Anyone else having a brew today. Oh Yeah, I just finished detailing my X. LOL
 
you know, I once won a trivia contest at the rogue brewery's pub... tonight I'll be sporting my current favorite widmer w06. a really fun red ale at 7%, nicely hopped, good yeast, and I'll be drinking it until widmer stops brewing it.

What did you win? If I can get my hands on some Widmer brew's I'll check them out.
 
Well, Indy started off nice beer wise...



5 Foster's Oil Cans to begin, then it was too dang far down the steps to get more (we sat in Paddock Penthouse). So it was on to a couple of Miller Lite tall boys that I could get at the concession stand up in the penthouse. And it just went downhill from there...



...back to the Coke lot, and while we're getting ready to leave, the guys in the green short bus with flames painted on it that was parked next to us ask me if I want to funnel one....well, why not? At 35 years old, I think this was the first time I ever funneled a beer. Not even sure what kind it was (I don't think it mattered to me at this point).



Note to self...don't funnel beer from guys handing it out to you from inside a custom painted school bus.:)



But ain't my truck shiny? :) And no, I didn't drive home...

Sounds like you had a good time, LOL People in custom painted school buses, only drink beer to get loaded, LOL
 
Sigh. I've been told, no more beer. No more alcohol at all.



I'm not a drinker, not an alcoholic, I just like a beer every now and then. But it's one of the worst things for my remaining kidney, and it does my blood sugar no good either.



Aw well. Life without beer is still life.

Hey Tom,



Hope everything is well. How about non-alcoholic beer? Probably not much of a taste (never had one), but it just might get you by. Take Care.
 
<-----Anyone care to guess my favorite brewer.



Seriously, PA is a great location to be if you want to get your hands on quality micro's. Victory, Dogfish, sly fox, etc.

Naw, non-alcoholic beer isn't the same taste as beer. It's like weak malt-hop flavored soda. I'll stick with water and low-sugar juices.



Otherwise, all is well. I can start driving again today. No heavy lifting, but I got clearance to wash cars. Which is cool, none of them have been washed for 3 weeks!

I know, Victory Prima Pils, Old Horizontal, Hop Wallop, Hop Devil, V-12, Dogfish Head 90 min, Olde School, World Wide Stout, Raison D' Etre, Nut Brown are great brews. Never had anything from Sly Fox though.

Victory popped up in my hometown, Downingtown, but unfortunately not until after I'd left. I make sure to pick some up whenever I head back for a visit, though. Living in Portland, OR now, so I get plenty of microbrews out here. :)



If you like hoppy beers, check out some of the various offering from Elysian out of Seattle, if you can find it. Every single one of their beers I've had has been great, but their distribution isn't the greatest. Their winter beer, the Bifrost, is particularly good. Strong, hoppy, but not too heavy, like some winter beers can be.
