Day dreaming from the back porch about beer & history infused travel through England, retired Air Force, English beer, traveling to quaint American spots, misser of Bury St Edmunds and my friends who live there.
Shots from the past week in Cleveland. FYI, it’s a solid beer town with a peak dive bar scene.
Well well well, Theakston beers have hit the North Carolina shelves!
A red IPA? What is this, 2013??? What a time to be alive!!!
Trip up the mountain to Hendersonville and Oklawaha Brewing. Rice Kolsch.
These pils are hitting this hot as *ballz weather just right. *ballz; Latin for balls. (Maybe)
Definitely can’t disagree with that but this one has been hitting the spot in this heat.
Last day in Portland Maine and had a bit of a one man pub crawl.
For those in England who are familiar with the Old Cannon Brewery in Bury St Edmunds, I give you, another Gunners Daughter from Maine. (Milk stout)
I’ve been patiently waiting to try this beer for quite a while and my first night in Maine and there it is. Dinner DIPA, @mainebeercompany.bsky.social The wait has been worth it.
A cask ale on in Portland, Maine @rogerprotz.bsky.social! Tributary Brewing, California Common, @ Novare Res.
Found out I do like lobster! If it didn’t happen in Maine then it wasn’t gonna happen anywhere.
Haven’t see any of the Martha’s available in North Carolina so it seemed right to give it a try.
Rye is the best of the brewing grains. And the bread grains. Rye is the best grain.
Work trip beers in Cleveland, Great Lakes Dortmunder in the glass.
