we are lucky to live in a time of more choice for brewery and spirits. I don’t miss the days of cans and bottles at all; I refuse to buy and non-draft beer at a bar or restaurant when I can buy so many choices of beer at a chain supermarket.

Gorgeous. I’m surprised that the brewery offers beer from other places because I assume they only offer their own offerings.

Last night - teriyaki marinated tuna steaks and broccolini on the grill. Rice noodles tossed in homemade spicy peanut sauce. A little too much wine. Beautiful weather all weekend, so we watched the Cubs game outside on the patio and then got the grill going.

Last night grilled some sirloin steaks and brussels sprouts, luckily just before the rain hit. Tonight's dinner will be Brats and a green salad.

Mammoth Oak is a small brewery that opened during the pandemic. Guest taps were 50% of the tap array, although on a previous trip were maybe 20%. I figure a start up operation needs a few backup kegs in case something isn’t ready on schedule. And as you say, at most places it’s a way of introducing customers to something they haven’t encountered before and might want to explore. I saw something similar at Salty Oak ( no relation) in Panama City when they were just getting started. Gradually I expect fewer guest taps and more home grown product. But all but the largest seem to have guest taps. I saw none at Sierra Nevada or Abita breweries for example.

Tonight - grilled pepperoni and onion pizza - sorry Corky no pickles. Side salad.
Anyone here have good ideas for seasoning a rib roast (choice not prime if it matters)? One of these days soon I'm going to sous vide the one in my freezer and then probably sear quickly on the grill. But I've only helped someone with an oven-baked rib roast before, never made one on my own.

Are you too chicken to try some pickles on a little slice?
What about honey?

Grilled chicken thighs - the bbq sauce probably evaporated in the grill so I need to check our grilling book to better master chicken thighs incl skin. Tasty but the Korean style wasn’t spicy and tasted similar to the bbq style.
baked potato with toppings
sautéed onions with Marsala cooking wine
roasted carrots
raw carrots & celery
Rainier cherries
Girl Scout cookies

I cooked my 20th meal out of In Bibi's Kitchen, the great majority of which were big hits. The only issue I have with this East African cuisine cookbook is more than once it suggested adding water to a pots with hot oil!
Switching gears, I have Ina Garten's recipes lined up for the next week+.

IMO, a rib roast is such a tasty piece of meat that it needs very little seasoning beyond salt & pepper. I sometimes make slits and stick pieces of garlic in them. Thyme goes well with beef too so maybe rub a little of that on the outside. The smoky flavor from the grill plus the beef will be so good!

What about honey?I've tried honey on a pizza, I don't like it. I HAVE had pickles on a cheeseburger pizza I've made. I'm not against it. I just didn't think it worked on this pizza. And probably no way my wife would have eaten it.

Thanks for the ideas! I'll take the advice on keeping it simple. I wonder if garlic would dissolve in a sous vide for 6-7 hours? That might be amazing, so may give that a try.

I am not a fan of honey on pizza either but there is a pizza around here (I forget specifics) that includes spicy honey and it's really good.
Incidentally, speaking of African food check out the Netflix documentary High on the Hog, about the African roots of US soul food.
