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.

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.

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.

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