Tonight's #beersaturday adventure is a good one. The beer isn't as good as some of the other ones, but after a day of Saturday in the office, a little one that didn't nap, and a dog that threw up a few times today. When all of that was said and done, I hopped into the CRV and headed across the river to see what was new at my favorite liquor store.
I grabbed this one as a) I have never had a Noon Whistle before and b) I liked the name of the beer. There was no date of fill on the can, so I had to roll the dice for a $18 USD four-pack.
This one sits at a hefty 7% ABV. It's hazy and definitely an IPA, and the hop billing is Vic Secret, El Dorado, and Lemon Drop. It's not a bad profile, but it's almost too sweet. I love my hazys, but not when it almost tastes like a fruity seltzer.
With the beer in hand, looking back on the day..maybe not as bad as I thought.. I took a few photos of the shop again once I finished up payroll, I'm thinking I might have another set of black and white photos, plus the random picture of the day. Honestly, it's nice to float about on the floor with no one looking at you. Us accountants, you know...always a bad rap.
Creativity, is the key, as one would say. The beer helps fuel that, to be honest (at least for me!).
Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my #beersaturday fun. Until next weekend...
7%? Nice. Did you finish them off before they finished you off?
Haha, I'm saving them and my Foggy Geezer backups for the game this afternoon. With some luck, I might remember how the game ends
I agree completely that hazy IPA's are good, but they can't be too fruity. It can be a tight line to follow, but when it's done right it's super tasty.
I'm guessing they were shooting for a candy IPA style with the name (or were going with tons of hops to attempt another type of gummy). Hey, I'll still drink it :(
Ah man, that sucks big old donkey balls. Hopefully a few beers helped.
Well, I needed a day without interruptions, so I had to make it work - plus I need the day off today to (hopefully) see the Bengals pull off a win tonight.
It starts at 23:30 here in Ireland and I've never watched a Superbowl. Going to give the first half a go tonight for the craic and go to bed at around 1am. I'd kind of like to see Snoop, Dre and Mary J too but I'll probably slide to bed then as I've work first thing.
Yeah that's late - I'm already dreading tomorrow morning with all these IPAs in my short term forecast for the game.
Yeah another great beer. Cheers
The shop looks cool and call for some more work with wood and metal
I know...if only I were more talented! I feel like if I knew how to weld or something I could make some interesting sculptures with scrap.
fresh from my beery brain
I'll be getting there shortly too for the Super Bowl !
seems like a pretty good roll of the dice
