Went to Apalachicola for Father's Day. Drank Apalach IPA while Mrs BV drank Lemon Shark Wheat. Had lunch across the street at the Owl Café and accompanied my jambalaya with a Brooklyn Lager. Went home and broke into the six pack of ballast Point Pineapple Sculpin before calling it a night.

There are 9 to 11 breweries/distilleries within a 15-minute bike ride of downtown Ft. Collins. It's great. :) Obviously, the correct strategy is to start at the furthest brewery (Funkwerks), then bike your way back towards downtown.

We had a conversation yesterday. I don't know what the final count was but they drank a lot of beer. Favorite of the week was Tommyknocker Blood Orange IPA from Idaho Springs.

Meanwhile, BamaVol Jr #3 attended Brewfest in Knoxville Saturday and tried 50 beers, give or take.

Or, have someone drive, as after a few stops, using a bike may be dangerous. :D

Old Milwaukee

Shhhhh....

They might revoke your Canadian citizenship if that gets out. ;)

Pilsner Urquell. Brewed in the city called Pilsen - so the original Pils.

Had a big Hoegaarden in the Gardens of Versailles today with a lemon twist. Nice and relaxing. The beer list was pretty tame though.

Bow Valley Lager

I picked up a handful of Norwegian crafts in the international duty-free store in OSL. Given Norway's backwards (IMO) rules on alcohol sales, I was worried I wouldn't be able to take anything home worth drinking. It's also the only duty-free store in an airport that I've encountered that is selling beer. ^^^

Brussels airport has some good beer in the duty-free.

ShawneeCraft Brewing Session IPA
Lonerider Brewing The Hops You Rode In On
Shebeen Brewing Black Hop IPA
Lost Rhino Face Plant

Carling Black Ice

One bottle of Maine Beer Co Mo.

Not in my beer fridge, but a very generous friend shared one of his two bottles of Sip of Sunshine IPA yesterday. Quite delicious!
