Yeah, the cans are silly but the beer makes up for it.

I do not do a lot of lawyering (actually zero to be precise) but curious if there is a legal term for, DJT can eat a bag of dicks?

Still one of the nicest surprises that Sierra Nevada has brewed.

A few, Sierra Nevada Pale, XX Bitter, Fullers Vintage, North Coast Old Rasputin, Kernel Exp Stout 1890.

Situationally: SN pale/cask, old Cannon best bitter at the Cannon, first London Pride off the plane at Kings X, any 1st beer at The Rake, River Leven dark I had in Scotland @ House of Trousers.

I mean, I’ve probably got at least 15 beers in my top 5 list!

I mean I’d happily call any pint of bitter my favorite if I was down at my local in Bury St Edmunds, drinking with friends (or any pub in England for that matter).

If you make it to Vespers or Beautiful beers, tell Rene or Max I said hello!

I don’t buy a lot of things anymore but that one, well it’s paid itself off in its coffee game.

Best thing I’ve done coffee wise was buying a Moccamaster a year ago. I have a couple local roasters I bounce between but damn did that coffeemaker up my game.

Whomp whomp. Maybe an invite to the Al Dhafra chow hall for steak and lobster will sweeten the deal for them.

I feel I did well to sit on this for 7 years and damn what a fine beer it’s turned out to be. The acidity has rounded off and the oak, fruit, leather, and earthy flavors are shining! So damn lovely.

Never got the chance to meet him but he always chimed in with some wit when I posted about my travels involving British beer. He was fond of you when I mentioned our meet up last year. Sorry to hear of his passing.
