Back at the smaller lake. Drinking smoothie bois.

Rad can art to go with this rad gose from Oddwood.

Super Treat from Treehouse

Pretty goodass afternoon

Beer at Firestone and the Pozo saloon yesterday and a stop off in Los Olivos today. BBQ was meh but stopped by Los Alamos this morning and talked with a guy who's getting big time recognition out here right now. He cooks every other weekend and I plan on stopping by next Saturday.

Pretty fun bottle share last night

The Yellowstone is about as clear as the Brazos today

Happy 4th y'all

Add me to the beer thread baby list. Just brought home our 3rd boy. Life is about to get crazier. Had a bourbon tonight but need to decide what I'm gonna take out of the fridge to celebrate and toast my wife soon.

I dig your style dude.

More hotel beers

Finally made it back home from about 3 weeks in the Midwest. I'm generally pretty bad about reporting back on breweries I visited and I realized I visited quite a few so here goes...

Young Blood Brewing (Madison, WI)
Not super memorable... we only stayed for a beer. Think I had the Pils and it was fine. Super cool spot right downtown though.

Working Draft Brewing (Madison, WI)
This was a little far outside downtown Madison. Cool spot... patio was in the parking lot which wasn't great. Enjoyed the Hazy IPA. They had tamales too which were pretty darn good.

Funk Factory (Madison, WI)
Maybe my favorite brewery of our trip. Out in the middle of nowhere... has a Jester King vibe but in the middle of an industrial area. Prices were insanely reasonable on bottles... like $15 for a small bottle of Spon.

Thirsty Pagan Brewing (Superior, WI)
This place surprised the crap out of me... didn't expect much but they had some really good beers and damn good pizza. The peach sour was my favorite I tasted. Also... I think the building is an old Railroad station which was cool.

Voyageur Brewing (Grand Marais, MN)
I mean... it's your only option in a tiny ass tourist town. Beers were not super memorable. Their food is actually really good though.

22 Northman Brewing (Alexandria, MN)
Finally a decent brewery in Alexandria. We've been coming here for 7 or 8 years and there has been nothing to speak of until now. Beers were decent... but every beer is served in an aluminum cup. Blew my mind.

Nortons Brewing (Wichita, KS)
We make it a point to stop here on the way back home every year. Great outdoor area for kids and stellar beer. Their Hazy IPA was phenomenal. Really good food too. They also serve liquor if you are into that sort of thing.

Of course I brought back some beer... things got dicey packing. I may need a bigger car.

Wine barrel aged beers have always been a favorite. Never had a bad one. this is a hybrid, cofermented with grapes.

Helluva work week. Time to drink.
