Just got in from the late shift and the wife has left me a few cold ones on the table. Can never sleep after a long shift so feel the need.
Mixing the the bud with this 8.4% Knights Cider… it’s very strong and I have 10 to get through till morning.
You know the last thing she said to me a moment ago before she f@cked off to bed? Don’t be getting pissed ordering gear through the night lol
My friend here in Tokyo has his own craft beer label, and this was a particularly fun one this year: C.R.E.A.M. IPA (those were the hops I think, citra, etc).
My music making partner and good friend happens to be a brewer second to none! He’s gifted me x3 1 litre bottles of his Christmas Doppelbock. Bottom fermented, semi-dark, full malt flavour, special Saaz hops, 7.7% alc. I know it’s gonna be delicious.
Hard to pick a favorite because I work in one of the hundreds of breweries in Chicago and I’m spoiled with options here, but this one from Whiner Beer Co has been my go-to beer for a while (when I’m not just swilling High Life tallboys). It’s a saison with wild yeast to give it a bit of sour funk, and they also age some of it in barrels and blend it in to the unaged product. It’s got a rich, tart flavor and packs a decent punch at 6.4%.
And of course the notorious Malört for good measure.
