The Beer Tent

its 5:35 pm. I am drunk. In florida warmth for a wonderful family vacation. If things go well, I wll go fishing tonight with a twelve pack and pass out. It certainly is difficult to drink around your parents and children and wife without showing too much.

Glenlivet to get hammered. heinenken to keep it going, maybe I will get lucky tonight.... doubt it!

 

This last weekend (6-8) was Alcohol Free Weekend. I didn't list it with the other holidays. I mean; how would one celebrate?

 

Well, I celebrated that day with beer for 2 days!

 

That is a good beer. If you can find it, the Bells Pale Ale as it has a similar flavor and it comes in a six pack not a 4 pack:

 

Stay away from anything called HopSlam... I think the label tells you it's brutal on the tongue. The label don't lie.

 

Oh CLyde!!

Whoa is us!
A great gnashing of teeth!

Totally out of all the beer you gave me on 4-15. we didn't even make it 20 days. But. and this is the problem.... I did have 3 sneaky beers left in the shop. I wasn't really saving them but trying to forget them. cracked a HopSlam now and WHOOOOOA YUCKLEDUCKFAY!!!!

Oh man. Thats ruff. maybe it should be chilled? maybe not. I like hot pabst at times....


10% alocohol? wth?

Final Absolution Belgian Style Trippel
Dragonmead's signature product! This is the ultimate Belgian style. The very high gravity of this beer is balanced by the smoothness of its finish. Banana and Clove aromas come from the Belgian yeast strain combining with the generous dose of Belgian Candi Sugar. The Saaz hops help to give this beer a balanced bitterness with no noticeable hop aroma. O.G. 1.085, ABV 8.5%










MMM mmmmmmmmmm Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

 

What is a good breakfast beer?
