Asahi on tap with Emersobs pilsner in the muddle. Lager night/day. Had 5 which is most I've had since January. Birthday night out.

@Zardnaar Going to have a couple of my Kiwi Express homebrews tonight. A very fine IPA with them tasty NZ hops!

Good luck. More or less stopped drinking IPAs. Hopped pilsner seem to work better 4 me.

My happy place are various lagers, stouts/porters and some ales.

Quite enjoy Kilkenny.

Nimbus here cracking down on high % cheap beer. Mostly this means eastern European larger cans. Prices gone up Volfas Rngelman from Lithuania is my Russian/Ukrainian replacement. No more 5.9 standard drinks for $4 usd.



Grabbed 3 the other night was in a hurry. The white ones a wheat beer. Generally I don't like wheat beers but it's been a while and my tastes are changing.

Think I'm over winter. 41F today. 6 degrees Celsius snow forecast to 200 meters (we're 130 odd meters up)


Got caught in rain.

So found my favorite shelf at the supermarket.


My Volfas Engelmann shelf and European beers. Bought 3 of those Bohemijos cans red and gold cans second shelf from the bottom.

Developing a taste for it.

Not as sweat as that Dutch one.

Think I rated it an 8 gonna upgrade it to an 8.5. Want to try some of those London Porters.

Vietnamese Style Coffee Stout in DuClaw's PastryArchy series. This doesn't really fit the dessert stout theme of the series, but it does have a bit (not too much) sweetness to balance to the coffee bitterness. It's pretty good, but I don't think I was expecting to see the Beer Advocate rating be 91=Outstanding (4.16/5).

Hit our second "top 50" cocktail bar in teh world last week in Oslo. I think I have a different view of a great cocktail bar than the judges.....

We also drank where last year's best bartender works, those cocktails were much better than Himkok, frankly.
