I discovered a new (to me) ridiculously hoppy brew... Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Ale.
I call your shitty Texas drivers and raise you a California tagged minivan in Denver straddling 2 lanes (on the left of course) of I-70 in a foot of snow.

Has spoiled me living in Chicago, as their taproom here is out of this world (actually going tomorrow). Love the Little Sumpin' and they also have a Little Sumpin' Wild if you want even more hops!

Go Blue!!!

at the University of Chicago's homecoming last fall. Mighty yummy. And the school sponsored the tailgate. And the Lagunitas brew selection. On campus. At the stadium! They may no longer be the Monsters of the Midway, but dang, they make sure you have a good time.
Oh, yeah, Shiner White Wing tonight.

Waiting for Mrs. gopoohgo to get home from work so we can go out to eat.

Picked up some Goodnight Bodacious and Pt5. Might be facing it for tomorrow. Still have work to do tonight.

I'm being the DD tonight so I'm sticking to water. Someone has to be the responsible one, right?

Atwater Brewery's Vanilla Java Porter, then switching to my favorite cheap beer, Genny Creme Ale. All the while listening to some old-school vocal jazz.
Pretty good way to spend a Friday night.

Or somewhere abroad because nowhere within the continental 48 is it warm right now.

Having been rather bummed about the death of Leonard Nimoy, I cracked open some Sierra Nevada Nooner Pilsner and raised a glass to a very good actor, director, writer and activist. I am watching a bit of "Star Trek" in his honor, but we shall switch to "Mission: Impossible" and his guest appearances later on this evening.

I did see this come across my news feed. Apparently someone managed to steal a NASCAR car out of a hotel parking lot, and the cops don't think the thieves knew what was in the trailer they stole. Pretty crazy story.

next Founders need to make its way west.

I'll be out in the Final Frontier tonight, embarking on a mini-tour of the Solar System, starting with Venus:
,
after which I will move on to Mercury:
,
before finally being "sling-shotted" by the Sun's gravity all the way out to Jupiter:
.
Unfortunately, this trip does not include Mars
...which I am still In Search Of.
Rest in peace, Leonard Nimoy. You truly inspired me.
Live Long and Prosper, Spock, forever in our memories.

the Mars DIPA. Hadn't heard about the Bells Planet series until Venus was released, but i had since heard that the Mars was pretty good/not great.
You are absolutely right about the Venus---it's downright awful. Fruity/sour/spiced with cardamom and vanilla beans must be an acquired taste, and I'm not going to acquire it! I still have 2 left out of my 6-pack; I tried aging it a few months and then chilling it to near freezing before drinking it tonight, and it still tasted awful.
But the Mercury Belgian I just had was pretty pleasant. But then again, all things being relative, it had to be a lot better than the Venus. Next up tonight is the Jupiter Brown Ale.
Brown Ale used to be one of my favorite styles some 8-10 years ago, but I've drifted away, not having one for several months at this point.
Like you, I'm really looking forward to the release of the Saturn Barleywine. It sounds like it should be strong and tasty.

Tonight for me. Have never been a big fan, but tonight I have a Dragon's Milk and a Bourbon County from Goose Island. Will see which is better.

Balvenie DoubleWood 12... Because FedEx still has my 17 that was supposed to be here a week ago today.

Except I am in Maryland.
It's cold as shit. Time for Laphroaig 18 neat.
No carbonation for me; Mrs. gopoohgo felt like eating Korean barbeque.

Enjoying a St. Bernardus Abt 12. Saw it when I was at Costco earlier this evening. It's pretty damn good. Jameson later on.
