An Icelandic Wee Heavy??? Why not, those Vikings were everywhere, including Scotland and Iceland. This is decent. Smooth and malty. #BskyBeer #beer

Power has been out since about 10:00 am. Surviving like pioneers - 5G instead of WiFi.

Went to Costco, Target and Trader Joe‘s today. (My wife’s idea, not mine.) Any holiday spirit I had was lost somewhere in one of those parking lots.

I’ll give it a try. There’s got to be some upside to having gone to Trader Joe’s today. #BskyBeer

Another big, boozy barrel-aged stout for the (former) Lager Guy. The Eclipse series from Fifty Fifty Brewery has some darn good big bold beers. #drinkcheck

Well, this is no surprise, although I suspect @grandpabeer.bsky.social and @robg64.bsky.social are about tied for first place.

There’s going to be complaints today Wordle 1,644 5/6*. #wordle ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

According to my Untappd year end summary, I’m not ”The Lager Guy” any more. But I don’t want to be known as The Stout Guy.

It’s good but potentially dangerous having Firestone Walker Venice Propagator close by. #beer

Thick and rich. Rye and vanilla both come through with great balance. #drinkcheck

The @smogcitybeer.bsky.social equivalent of “splitting the G”:

I went with a schwartzbier for National Lager Day. What did you do? #beer

National Lager Day? Whatever are we going to do to observe that? #NationalLagerDay

Persian cucumbers come from Mexico now?

Happy Anniversary @firestonewalker.bsky.social #drinkcheck Picked this one up at Firestone Venice Propagator a couple weeks ago - a dangerous place for my wallet.

I’m doing something I rarely do - rereading an eBook. I read a lot and have reread many real book, but usually not eBooks. FYI, the book is The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi. If you’re not familiar with the story, I highly recommend the book. #books

Beer travelers, which countries have you had beer in? My list: USA Mexico Canada St Vincent Grenada Bonaire Guadeloupe Dominica Martinique Bahamas Turks and Caicos Puerto Rico Ireland England Scotland France Germany Belgium Czechia Slovakia Austria Italy French Polynesia New Zealand Hong Kong

In case anyone has been wondering what to get me for Xmas, here’s an idea:

It’s December so we can break out the Christmas beers, right? This one is darn good. #beer

#drinkcheck Another big boozy one from Goose Island. 2023 Backyard Barrel Aged Stout

Been organizing some of my photos. I have a shit load of beer, brewery, taproom photos.

#drinkcheck Damn, this is good. Rich and smooth. There’s a lot going on flavor-wise and all really well balanced. @firestonewalker.bsky.social made another great beer.

I get a monthly email from my thermostat* showing heating and cooling usage (we don’t have AC). Typical October in SoCal. *yes, I know it’s not actually from the thermostat

If anybody wants to stock up and has a forklift, my Costco has Celebration IPA in stock.

Ok, let me explain. This is nostalgia for me. My dad drank Hamm’s when I was a kid growing up in WI. He’d have a Hamm’s while watching football and I’d get a sip even when I was pretty young. Saw this at local store so had to get it. #hamms

Brought a few things home from Firestone Walker Propagator in Venice last week. Looking forward to these.

Scouting for an inevitable Old Guy Beer Crew trip to @firestonewalker.bsky.social Propagator (even though at least some of us have already been there). Need to schedule an official Crew visit. #beer

New form of Daylight Saving Time Psychosis this morning. Woke up around usual time, confirmed time on my devices. Couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t brighter outside. Didn’t realize for 10 mins when I looked a clock that doesn’t auto-adjust that DS ends TOMORROW. Going back to bed. #DST

Well, this is interesting. Starts up rich, smooth and slightly sweet, maybe a little plum flavor. Finishes with a little tartness. #beer

Nice little Boho pils from Chuckanut. #drinkcheck

Went to the “other beer store” in town - Select Beer Bottle Shop and Tap Room, a small place with a really nice selection - and got some other beers. #beer
