An afternoon of good friends and good food and good beer and great stories, memories, and laughter. #bentPaddle Black Ale #newGlarus Spotted Cow #craftBeer #beer #bSkyBeer

A celebration of life today for a passed friend, a sharing of memories, a time to reflect. He was a big Festivus guy, so an Airing of Grievances is spot on. Une Année belgian inspired #stouturday offering - to you Steve, we’re going to miss you man! #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #uneAnneeBrewery #bSkyBeer

Filled up the tank - 18.7 gallons for $76 dollars! Weary traveler indeed! (Read the back of the can)…make it all feel better… #bombasticBrewing Bukwus BA imperial #stout Creamy rich chocolate body with a hint of bitter and barrel notes and dark fruit on the finish. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer

Car shopping - the gods smiled on us and we found what we wanted. Celebratory #alesmith Pace Car Speedway #stout Unlike the car, it hasn’t aged well, poured flat and has a thin mouthfeel. Coffee & chocolate, just OK. Ideally the new car performs better! #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer

Perfectly typical text from my daughter… @truemarmalade.bsky.social @wiglenet.bsky.social #allTheWifi #wardrive #alwaysBeWardriving

Nice game #Fanatics - every time you text and I reply STOP, your next text comes from a NEW phone number. To which I reply STOP… 🛑 Fourth person iteration on a theme, I grow weary… Guess who I will never buy from again? #fuMarketers

Another long day ends with another ruby red treat and long shadows! @boulevardbeer.bsky.social Rye on Rye barrel-aged rye ale Ruby red, spicy rye lead, caramel and vanilla notes, hints of oak and a boozy finish. #craftBeer #rye #beer #barrelAged #bSkyBeer

Property taxes due soon - I am qualified to pay…darn. Open the Vault at #taxmanBrewing for an accompaniment that’s also Qualified (and Bourbon barrel aged) A nice quad amped up with barrel notes, oak, toffee and shiny of vanilla. Spicy, boozy finish. #craftBeer #beer #quadrupel #bSkyBeer

A red glow at the back of the fridge…who goes there? Aha, it’s #sullivansBrewCo Maltings Irish Ale. Come on out into the light! Malty and creamy, easy drinking with a sweet finish. #craftBeer #ale #beer #bSkyBeer

Holy WiFi Batman! Just passed the 7,000,000 Observed APs mark. It only took 21 years and 11 months of #wardrive fun! #allTheWifi #dotsOnMaps #alwaysBeWardriving @wiglenet.bsky.social

I call #stouturday adjacent on day 2 of @badweatherbrew.bsky.social Old Fashioned Ominous It fits in the #stout glass and the flavors of brandy, bourbon, cherry, orange peel and bitters are still strong Beautiful day for seconds! #brownAle #craftBeer #drinkLocal #bSkyBeer

It’s #stouturday and #yardWork Figured out why my eyes have been terrible! The glowiness alongside my #revBrewChicago Deth’s Tar isn’t radioactive - it’s POLLeN! My aching eyes, relieved by this dark beauty rich with barrel notes & deep flavors #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer #stout #pollen

Ever done something that you wonder why you waited 20 years for? Under cabinet lighting! Revolutionary! Casts that perfect glow on this perfect #dragonsMilk Tales of Gold. Creamy sweet with malty honey and vanilla notes. #craftBeer #hereBeDragons #seeTheLight #barrelAged #ale #bSkyBeer

Call me old fashioned but the carpet had to go. Loving the wood look. Toast new floors with a @badweatherbrew.bsky.social Old Fashioned Ominous Cherry and orange peel bite leads into a brandy & bourbon shaped body w/dark fruit notes & a bitter kick. 10.8% #craftBeer #drinkLocal #bSkyBeer

“Humbly offered” says the neck label. Gratefully accepted, says me! @pfriembeer.bsky.social bourbon barrel aged #barleywine ale Amazing! Rich with caramel and toffee, brown sugar and dark fruit notes. A spicy bourbon finish on this “heady night cap” indeed. #barleyWineIsLife #craftBeer #bSkyBeer

A day of racing from thing to thing to thing… Slow down with #aleSmith Speedway Grand Prix MMXXV BlackBerry Edition Should’ve drank it fresher, tangy opener with tart blackberry fruitiness in a thin body. Coffe notes but not a hint of vanilla. Let it warm! #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkBeer

Was going to watch the election results at the local movie theater, but it was all just projections…

The dust dust dust from having new floors floors floors installed is almost over! Time for #3floydsBrewing Trolls Trolls Trolls BA #stout with vanilla beans Rich chocolate with bittersweet cocoa and vanilla overtones and a boozy finish. 13% #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer

Doing some new migrations, had a conversation about that thing we did for that customer that one time that we are gonna have to re-undo this time. Looked back in my notes and the day of the original thing was in 2021! Holy crap, time flies when you are having fun. #history #institutionalKnowledge

Batch One Thousand Four Hundred & Eighty Five I am _glad_ that #evilTwinBrewing is keeping track! This old ale conditioned on maple syrup and vanilla is fantastic! Similar to a dopplebock, it’s got a fruity lead with rich maple & vanilla body ending in a slightly tart finish #craftBeer #bSkyBeer

Antique store shopping with my wife…not horrible but it’s own slow death march 😁 It’s #stouturday so I parlay that death with #revBrewChicago Café Deth A perfect rich balance bourbon & coffee & chocolate with oaky notes and a dark finish My kind of Deth… #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer

Construction dust or seasonal allergies, lately life has been hell on my eyes #kettleHeadBrewing seemed a match with X’s For Eyes Smells of maple & coconut, body is murky at best, thin mouthfeel & muddy sweet maple & chocolate & a curious sour finish #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout #bSkyBeer

Gotta be an equal opportunity “icider” - sorry Mom! The paired #nightmareBrewing Matricide is no less a morbid label, and no less an awesome #stout Rich chocolate, nutty almond background, sweet boozy body with vanilla and a slightly dry cocoa finish. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #bSkyBeer

So far my entire next #tavour crate is #revBrewChicago beers. Would it be more economical to take the Amtrak to Chicago in-person? Probably… #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #bSkyBeer

Not contemplating any “icide” but damn this #nightmareBrewing Patricide draws me in! There’s a secret here. Rich chocolate, coconut, cherry(?), vanilla, a bit of dry cocoa on the finish. How do they do it? Big and tasty at 15%! Sorry Dad… #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout #craftBeer #bSkyBeer

Beautiful sunny day should lead to a starry night after lots of rain and clouds yesterday. Even if it doesn’t, it’s a Starry Night from @weldwerksbrewing.bsky.social Chocolate & hazelnut, both sweet & bitter w/a slightly drying cocoa finish. Not much coconut. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer

Made it to and through Monday. The weekend was so nicer…. #bombasticBrewing Bukwus Weighing in at 16% it’s Big and boozy, creamy body of bourbon over chocolate with hints of raisin on the finish. Kinda thinking being a wild man in the woods would be OK about now. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer

A flight and dinner with the kids…all MN and WI choices #oliphant Gobias - coffee stout #padraigs N.E. Porter #elmCreekBrewing Man Made Horse Sounds porter #urbanGrowler Cow Bell cream ale #craftBeer #drinkLocal #stout #porter #bSkyBeer

Filling the construction dumpster with miscellaneous stuff from the crawl space is very cathartic. Break time in the sun with this #HeavyReelBrewCo Spogliatella imperial golden ale Looks like orange juice, a citrusy body with subtle vanilla. Crisp & refreshing! #craftBeer #sundayBeer #bSkyBeer

If I must be sent To The Pit, so be it… Dessert from #evilTwinBrewing and #Brujos comes in a powerhouse 12% imperial #stout that pours like oil and is loaded with graham, marshmallow, chocolate, vanilla, & coconut. Syrupy richness! #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stouturday #bSkyBeer #letItWarm #hardPour

Yay for #stouturday Dreary as heck outside, light a candle inside! #branchAndBone Black Candle imperial milk #stout Chocolate malts & oats give it a smooth mouthfeel, sweet with lactose, vanilla, dark fruitiness & cocoa hints make for a savory finish #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #bSkyBeer

More #tavour treats! A little (size) something big (13.8%) to keep things Hopping #hoppinFrog T.O.R.I.S. The Tyrant. Triple Oatmeal Russian Imperial Stout Black as night, thick as oil, silky oatmeal smooth, huge flavors of molasses and dark burnt sugars. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout #bSkyBeer

Man, having a roll-off dumpster on the driveway releases the “clear ALL the crap” pheromones or something. Remodel project spurs a garage clean up, crawl-space review, random bits-and-pieces-in-the attic clearance. Making significant headway. #cleanAllTheThings #reduce #dumpster #remodel

Deep fried beef ravioli pairs with what? 🤔 something lighter than my earlier pastry stout… Wayfinder Smoked Secret Secret Czech-style dark lager. PNW origins! Light body with full maltiness and a smoky note finish. Hints of chocolate and subtle sweetness. #darkLager #lager #craftBeer #bSkyBeer
