Big start to the weekend. Early morning Delta Force mission to procure two cases of a beer Marci has been chasing for a year (which I hope to sample tomorrow), a visit with some potbellied pigs (seriously), a day of drinking in at TJ's and Teresa's Next Door, takeout Chinese for dinner. I mean, that's all a man can ask for right there. Missed a chance to hit dinner with some dear friends due to a sick child, but that happens when you have kids I suppose.
For today's beer update, I'm throwing out Kinder Downfall, a golden ale from Buxton Brewery. It pours a copper color in the glass with a light, light aroma of bitter hops. There's a mild flavor of hops, with some floral notes as well (lavender?) and a slight touch of citrus. At 4.3% ABV, this is a session beer, so not terribly complex, but it has decent flavor with a bit of bite. If forced to choose between this and Coniston Bluebird Bitter, I'm taking the Buxton. Odd fact for the day: this beer is named after a waterfall in Derbyshire. Now you know.
Thing to Think About Today:
Ernest Hemingway once said, "Write drunk; edit sober." Papa was a far better writer than I am, and it's Saturday night and I've spent the day enjoying some great beers with some great friends. So why don't we let the Bay City Rollers carry it home from here. We'll edit later:
