I believe I'll abstain for a few days.  Bockfest hit me kind of hard last weekend.

You're such a fucking woman.

So many local breweries do their own bock beer now for Bockfest.  And I had to try them all.  Plus the obligatory Salvator & Celebrator.

I'm no spring chicken anymore :(

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Sorry about that Brain.

Over the weekend I polished off our Gunpowder Gin we picked up in Ireland to sooth some of my own circumstances.

Good stuff  :)

Next I will be turning to another Gin we picked up there.  Might have to go back and get some more the way things are going.

When I was in Detroit last I found a Saison ale called "En Enfer" by Avant-Garde Artisan Brasseurs out of Quebec.  I thought that was a clever name.  (Une Saison en Enfer is a book by Arthur Rimbaud.)

On that subject, does anyone know if Bob Dylan or Rick Danko took the opening line to "This Wheel's on Fire" from the introduction to Une Saison en Enfer?
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Was it good?  The beer, I mean.

I liked it; it wasn't at all funky as Saison beers too often are.

:console:  I hear ya, man.  I have a tough time going back to back days.  When I retired from the industry a couple years ago I lost the last of my youthful drinking powers.

When I was last in Detroit I picked up:



(No, I didn't have it with Texas Medicine.)  Detroit Distillery has some of the coolest labels for their liquors; and naturally naturally that one appealed to me.  Unfortunately it's nothing to write home about; it tastes like Beefeater, but costs twice as much.

Old Forester (neat).

For an 'entry level' ryed bourbon it is, at least for me, surprisingly drinkable.
