I’ve been looking for ways to tinker with the camera on the iPhone 12 Pro Max so obviously I took some Portrait Mode photos of some beers I enjoyed over the holiday weekend. The Veil’s Circle of Wolves is a big barley wine, this one aged in bourbon barrels. I’m not sure what year it’s …
Enjoyed a couple of cans of Weapon of Choice from Civil Society Brewing. Like Adam mentioned on the show, it’s great that Richmond gets beer this good from far away. As shitty as 2020 has been, generally, we’re in an Era of Great Beer Availability.
But don’t worry, I made room for recovery time.
After keeping 2019 recording drinks nearly 100% cocktails, it was fun to crack a beer for last night’s show. Tröegs Nugget Nectar is a dry-hopped amber ale. This seasonal treat is a longtime favorite at our house. My desk is a mess.
The Solid Sundays keep on rolling. Last weekend I competed in the 2020 RVA Open, a weightlifting meet here in town. I was trying to get a competition total of 179kg, which would qualify me for competition at the 2020 American Open Series, which starts in March at The Arnold. I went a couple of …
I had this the other night. The Veil describes it as: Simple Ale designed by our Funkhaüst manager Pizza Nick and brewed in collaboration with our buddies @heirloomrusticales from Tulsa, Oklahoma. We fermented this spelt Farmhouse Ale at cooler temperatures in oak with a blend of a few of our favorite brewers yeasts. Half way …
Adam and have been recording a podcast on and off for a couple of months. We each pick three things to talk about over a beer. I dropped the ball and failed to mention the first one, but I’m here with a timely note on the second show. We’re calling it the Safe As Milk …
I work with a guy whose brother is one of the founders of the Triple Crossing Brewery. They shot a little time-lapse video of the tank installation. Neat stuff. I’m excited to try their beers when they are up and running.
The Sidamo Coffee Stout is back for it’s second release. Built on their imperial stout (which I think is the best “basic” beer they make), it’s big but not too rich. The Sidamo Stout doesn’t skimp on the coffee and lets just a little bit of chocolate in to tie the whole thing together. It’s …
I’ve been home from SD for 2 days and I’m just feeling up to recapping. It was an excellent, exhausting time. Friday at the con was first about getting in on a Monster Worship sale for these dudes: I’ve admired Jeff Lamm’s work for a long time but it always sells out (and gets expensive …
