For this #beersaturday adventure, I headed to our downtown area this afternoon. After a full day of dad daycare at the house, I needed a break. So I jumped in the CRV at 3:30 and went to the local used book store downtown to check things out.
I love our local used bookstore! I have heard that the bookstore is so popular that people will literally check in at a hotel for a few nights just to take in the store's inventory. There are so many good books here...you never know where to start.
There were a lot of books that called my name, but there were only two that I ended up getting. That meant it was time to head over to the Bodega for a beer or two.
The first one was a Stone Brewey Hazy IPA; not the best, fairly dull, and no head. I slugged that one down and went for something more interesting on the second round. Hence the Waking Witch....
This one is a strong one! An imperial black ale at over 8.3% ABV; I knew I could only have one. There is a Packers game coming on shortly, after all...
Yum and yum. I a bit too smokey with the malts, but I could feel the alcohol. Thank goodness I only had one; three of these would have made me take an Uber back home.
I'm curious about the books, too, but I will give the beer 3.5/5.0. It's ok, but a bit too smokey for my liking. I have yet to find a smoked malt beer I really enjoy...
Thanks for stopping by for my #beersaturday adventure. I'll have a follow up on the books soon; oh yeah, GO PACK GO...
It's funny, the stronger the dark ales get, the more stickier , syrupy. I had a Belgian one the other night 13%. Blew the head off me. Get the daddy day care. My head was melted today as well so went for a drink
13 %...uff da. They can be good, but a few Trippels I had in the range knocked me out pretty quickly. Hey, I'll keep trying though, right?
I picked up a book recently from a nearby used bookstore, too! Felt so strange. I'm not sure the last time I bought a book for me to actually sit and read. Now to find the time.
What would be epic would be a used bookstore that has a beer bar. Yes.
That's a good idea ! I can help out with the business plan!
Shit, I really wish I could do that. I even know the perfect spot for it near me.
Books and beer ! Perfect combo .... in less you have too much beer them its hard to read or you wont remember want you have read lol 🤣
Oh I know that feeling very well, lol
