Super local. Super good. Hard to read black letters on a very dark gray background! Discovered this brewery yesterday and can’t get enough. Lunkenheimer Craft Brewing, Weedsport NY. Details in alt. #BSkyBeer

My band is playing a late show this evening, Saturday 27 June, 10:30 to 12:30. Some new tunes, some cold drinks, and friends you haven’t met yet! Deets in alt. #livemusic #occoquan

Summertime tuneups! Getting the bikes ready for wife and daughter. They fight over the Colnago. First one to the shed wins!

New radio in the daughter’s Escape. Replacing the horrible Ford Sync that did a lot nothing very well. Cheap Amazon find replacement with everything you can ask for. Were the instructions bad? Yes. Did I break anything? No. Does it work? Yes.

Riverfest is a wrap! Hot times in Occoquan. Thanks to D’Roccos for having us out! #livemusic #local

My band is playing on Sunday, June 7 from 1-4 by the water in Occoquan, VA. This is for the annual Riverfest and Craft show. We’ll be set up behind D’Roccos next to the beer/wine/liquor vendors, which sounds like excellent planning! See you there!

Dillingham Abbey. 8% Belgian Tripel on a school night. Waters End Brewery, Woodbridge VA. #BskyBeer

Some pics from our wee gig last night. A bit concerned to walk in and see unfinished drywall and a smoky haze, but a fun crowd overall with some impromptu tunes thrown in. Thanks to Kara for the pics! #livemusic #indie

Come see my band! Late late show, starting off at 10:30 tonight. Get a nightcap and listen to some cool tunes! The Piazza at D’rocco’s, Occoquan VA.

Today’s verse comes from pp 63 & 64, St Catherine of Sweden. While I haven’t the ingredients for a “Hart” (gin, Dubonnet and vermouth), I will probably have an Old Fashioned or 2 to atone. Amen.

Today’s a great day to support #livemusic! My band is playing tonight. March 21, 6 to 9. Special appearance with Kevin Artz of Marshall Artz. All are welcome- we’re all friends here! #Martinguitar #localmusic #craftbeer Water’s End Brewery 12425 Dillingham Sq Lake Ridge VA 22192

My acoustic duo Derelict Dog will be bringing the heat to Water’s End Brewery in Lakeridge VA on Saturday March 21. If you’re in NOVA and looking for some post St Patrick’s adventures, come see us! Get a Damn Beer, a Hot Damn Pretzel, and listen to some damn fine tunes! We have a few surprises…

Trivia night you say? Guess how many beers I’ll be having. #Bskybeer

#Bskybeer I do what I want. Cheers to me! Sullivans Black Marble Stout, 5%, on a Tuesday afternoon. Who knows? Might have another.

This entire album absolutely rocks! was reminded of this song by a #wyrdwednesday post. Also, if you watch the video closely, I think there’s a Hardware Wars reference? Yabba dabba doo time. His heads in the kitchen and his tail’s out the door. Dino! Dino!! youtu.be/NGZenzfg3A0?...

New guitar day! An Emerald Amicus 12 string, in all black carbon Fiber. Black Opus. This little guy really sings. Can’t wait to try it out with the band. One for @weirdguitar maybe? #ngd #guitar

Adventures in homebrewing. Vanilla Porter coming soon. #Bskybeer #homebrew

Mon the Biff! Stuck in my head on this snowy sleety day. youtu.be/eIoaVPA_8jU?...

A fun gig last night! 3 sets, good crowd, bar manager loved it, who can ask for more? My band is Derelict Dog, please take a look on instagram or the book of face. There’s a few tunes also downloaded on our website: www.derelictdog.com #livemusic #guitar

In 2012, I traveled to Malone NY where it was -30 degrees. In a warm guitar workshop I learned the art of pearl inlay and the basics of guitar building. Dave Nichols was a wonderful teacher and an incredible craftsman. #guitar #pearlinlay

Watching the 49ers and the Seahawks. Apparently we are rooting for the niners. Enjoying a Happy Camper Oatmeal Stout, 6% abv, from Pedal Haus Brewery, Phoenix AZ. Very tasty, would recommend if waiting for an airplane! Hoping TSA understands. #Bskybeer

Christmas morning brew. Gulden Drak Calvados, 10.5%. Aged in apple brandy barrels. I expect to be shitfaced by the time the turkey is done.

Apropos of nothing…sometimes I love my home state. Also, I got myself a shirt. www.bonfire.com/trashed-panda/

Spontaneous visit driving home from B-more. Never thought I’d find a Belgian Dubbel at 7.4%, but here we are. Chateau Noir at Open Gate Brewery. #bskybeer

Visited Stockton in 2018. Goosebumps all day long. Hard to explain to the younguns that these locations made up the soundtrack of my youth. Alas, no Arlo or Officer Obie sightings…

A little afternoon guitar playing while sipping an adult beverage. Nowhere to be til Monday, and I got sick leave to burn. Homebrew Imperial Stout, 8% abv. #Bskybeer #Martinguitar

A pleasant surprise! I don’t often go to the big box store (where shopping is a baffling experience), but saw this and grabbed 2. Super nice price for a bomber of 8.5ish% beer. This is actually brewed by Deschutes. Boozy and chocolatey and I’m going to get more. #bskybeer

Current situation. Early voting started today in Virginia.

Ladies and gentlepersons: I’m not entirely sure how many followers are local to me, but if you are in Northern Virginia on Monday evening, my band Derelict Dog will be playing at Mill Street Draft Garden in Occoquan VA., supporting Ms Sewell and her campaign. Alt text for deets.

Very nice day for a refreshing adult 5% beverage. W22 from Water’s End Brewery, Woodbridge VA. Nice thing is I can stumble home from here. Ya know, if necessary of course… #Bskybeer

We had some fun playing guitars. There may have been beer involved. If you’re interested we are on the Insta as Derelict Dog. Come see us play!

Brew Day. Hazy IPA coming soon.

Dropping off the younger daughter at college. Lunch at 50/50 Taphouse. Adventure Fred Red, 6.4%. On the left is a Coors light. #Bskybeer

I shall now consume mass quantities.

Sorry boss. Sick leave this afternoon. That’s why it’s called “leave” not “stay”.

Christmas in July. Henderson Harbor NY. That would be the Grinch, we saw Santa going into the Waterside Grill in the harbor.

Oops I bought a guitar.

An evening at the yacht club with my friend from Balvenie.

Lager Frenzy! To quote Tank Girl… Ithaca Beer Co Lakeside Lager, 4.2% abv. Nice lunch time refresher.

Fuggly Sweater, 5.7%, Ithaca Beer Co, Ithaca NY. Dark lager brewed with ginger, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. No “best by” or “born on” date, but I guess this is a Christmas beer? Who cares. I can taste the ginger and cinnamon, the rest is lost…. #BskyBeer

War Horse Royal Kilt Inspector Scotch Ale, from Geneva NY. 7.1%. Pretty freakin tasty, not boozy at all. Plus also War Horse is one of those breweries that put album pairings on the can- this one calls for A Complete History by The Vaselines. #BskyBeer

Middle Child IPA. 6.8%. Hopshire Farm and Brewery, Freeville NY. #BskyBeer

Current situation.

#2 of the day. Might be the last. Founders Backwoods Bastard, 11%abv, Grand Rapids Michigan. I reached in and grabbed a 7.5%, thought I should go lighter, and only discovered the accident after I poured it. Oh well, gotta drink it now, can’t put the genie back in the bottle. #Bskybeer

Breakfast with Churchill. 7.5% Coffee Stout from Warhorse Brewing Co., Geneva NY. Not usually a coffee in beer fan, but this one is super well balanced, more chocolate flavor than coffee, and no bitterness. #Bskybeer

Hot. Sweaty. 4 hrs playing time. 1 beer consumed. Lots of people seemed to enjoy it, great feedback. Pros and cons.

Celebrating No Kings day with something Irish. Here’s to someday being free from fascism, populism and colonialism everywhere.
