self-isolation drinking, which I guess is regular drinking for me

From a local craft brewer. Of the three beers I’ve tried so far, I like all three. This one is a bit too low on alcohol but the taste is nice. Nice IPA taste without having that strong, lingering bitterness that a lot of IPAs have.

After this I’ll probably just have a simple lager. I don’t think I could drink too much of this even though I find the taste to be nice.

I’ll join you in virtual happy hour. Surprisingly easy shift today, but I’m feeling the pain of the last few weeks. Picked up my new favorite cider, and with any luck I’ll be able to drink it all without interruption.

It’s nice to have a lighter day, especially when so much is being shipped around. Love me a good cider, hopefully it’s not too sweet?

As I’ve told my house mate who insists I “can’t drink alone” I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again!

It’s about time I go grab a cold one, either a slipstream double IPA from Salt Flats brewing or some hazy IPA I can’t remember off the top of my head who it’s from

Our monthly product development happy hour-now Zoom meeting is in half an hour. I’m stocked up on Lone Star.

This is what it was. Chasing ghosts from epic. Double dry-hopped double hazy ipa

I try any new cider I come across. The journey began with Woodchuck Amber and continues to this day. Might have to look up J.K.’s.

Wish I could toss you a few bottles of my new hazy IPA creation. But sadly, my arm isn’t nearly strong enough to throw that far, and I think my mail carrier already dislikes me a little bit.

I just got back from a marginally legal beer run to one of our local breweries open only for retail cans/bottles - http://www.blackravenbrewing.com/Beerfolio/kitty-kat-blues-infused-pale-ale

With no traffic I figure I can out run most of those nasty corona viruses, right?

Luckily a few breweries in my area are doing free local delivery if you meet the minimum purchase amount. My care package arrived at the end of my work day yesterday, it was great timing.

That beer sounds very interesting, but I am wary of blueberry infused beers since the ones I’ve had in the past were mediocre at best.

It’s not for everybody but is really well done - more herbal than fruity.  It was a one off they were playing with in the tap house but got so popular they decided to do it for broader retail distribution.

Herbal is nice. I’m not opposed to fruity (for example, I really enjoy a Fruli or a Mort Subite Kriek from time to time) but blueberry in particular hasn’t worked out for me.

I strongly reccomend it. And if you can find “Schilling Emerald City blackberry pear”, that’s my other top pick!

I had canned riesling yesterday. It wasn’t bad.

I normally enjoy riesling, but canned wine is unusual.

I mean, it wasn’t gooooood, either, but it wasn’t as terrible as some canned wines I’ve tried.

I don’t know what it is about canned wine. Is it the novelty? Is it that it’s a bad idea? It’s always a bad idea. I mean, it’s a step above slappin’ the bag from a box, but that’s not saying much. The nice stuff never seems to come in a can. Canned wine leads to “okay” at best and “oh my gosh heck no” a lot of the time.

I think it’s the novelty factor. I hadn’t seen a canned riesling yet! But uh, I’m gonna stick to that blue bottle stuff we all drank in college if I have to. (Bonus: That winery was by the Rally Deutschland stages! I saw where it was! Now I’m curious if I saw WRC cars hoon through their vineyard, haha. Too bad I didn’t have time to stop.)
