For this #beersaturday adventure, look what I happened to find at the food co-op today. Yes and yes. I knew there were a few new Toppling offerings out and about, but they typically sell out quickly. Fortunately, my daughter and I were able to find it in the liquor section today while my wife did the "boring" grocery shopping.

Well, I won't kid around on this one; this beer is AWESOME. I just gave it a 4.50/5.00 on Untappd, it's that good. The taste on this double is very smooth. It starts sweet, moves into bitter and then dry, then back to bitter. I don't recall drinking anything with a hop profile like this one:

This is a classic Iowa DIPA. You want to drink it quickly because it tastes so good, but with a hidden 7.8% ABV beneath it all, it could get hazy quickly. Like the IPA is -

The beer is highly recommended! Look at my luck with this production date, too:

The packaging is pretty slick too. There is another little write-up on the wrap that had the old Sagesigma briefly intrigued...

Analog Don, eh? Well, I had to run it through a gematria calculator for fun, and sure enough, someone down there has done so Gnostic homework. Analog Don equates to Bitcoin, The Magician, the God Code, and even Nimrod. Yikes...I think I need to get another beer here.

Gnostic simulation fun aside, what else did we do for a #beersaturday? I did get that marsh walk in earlier that I posted today. That actually was quite challenging as I was wading through some mud. To get back some energy, not only did I start drinking these, but we also made some homemade pizzas for dinner.

We made a pepperoni and cheese pie, an Italian sausage, mushroom, and bell pepper pie, and pepperoni, mushroom, and pepper pie. Not a bad Saturday night, all in all, despite the archons popping up.

Oh momma! That beer looks delicious, and the pizza too!!
Brilliant back story to the beer. I’d say you should drink two more in the name of saving our universe 👾👾

This beer comes with a book?...
