Knights & Knaves Alehouse

Wife's out of town for the month so I'm drowning my sorrows (and doing a lot of mini painting).

A whole month? Hopefully for positive reasons. I'll drink one with you, man.

Yes! She's working in the Shire (good) and staying at her parents so all is well, just a long time away (and the dog went with her!). It was long planned so I was just being dramatic. Speaking of being dramatic, now to watch a few Hammer films!!

One of the local breweries did a limited release today, five barrel aged imperial honey wheats.


I did a flight and took home five bombers....
Bourbon barrel aged with brettamyces and blueberries
Bourbon barrel aged with blood oranges
Bourbon barrel aged with strawberries
Bourbon barrel aged with ginger and boysenberries
Rum barrel aged with mangos.

Always fun to walk out of a brewery with a case of beer under your arm...

The good shit, brought back from California last week. Couldn't get my hands on PtE, but all things from Russian River rock.

Had a day at work that needed a solid beer to chase away...


Sugar Creek's award winning lagered artisinal ale.

The weather the last couple of days have finally started to get me in the mood for some pumpkin beer. NoDa Gourdgeous and Southern Tier Pumpking here I come!

Saw Pumpking on the shelves yesterday. Really looking forward to some this year.

In addition to some Gose and Saison, had some Warlock and Pumking. Good stuff. Saw the Dogfish Head punkin ale on the shelves, but didn't pick any up. Next time (although it still feels like summer, here -- fall beer seems odd this early).

BBQ'd baby back ribs. Good stuff.

@capitalbill, I really dig how unapologetically pretentious that "Artisanal Ale" is packaged.

Oh, yeah. That brewery can be a little snooty, but with their lagered ale they basically brewed it to win an award. Imported all of the ingredients from France and Belgium.

On the other hand, the bottle for their tripel features an astronaut spacewalking out of a boat suspended from a balloon with a clown fish floating in the helmet. So, they can go the other way too.

Hops are a wicked and pernicious weed...
