Putting stuff away, found a few surprises in my reserve stock.

I never seem to have a reserve stock or inventory, I'm afraid it might go bad.

Well, it’s just overflow, what doesn’t fit in my small beer fridge, more than a planned reserve. But I have only had a few issues with keeping seasonal beers across the years to a following season, usually lower ABV brews seem to suffer.

That Rude Elf is from 2015, still good. Most of the stuff above 10% ABV seems to keep well in that cool basement cupboard.

I like the phone!

You should see the one next to it, just out of view, a country junction. The one you can see there is known as the “I Love Lucy” phone, since that’s the model they had in their apartment.

Another old hobby, now just taking up space in a basement cupboard. We don’t even use our landline, anymore.
 
Couple more IPAs today, sorry @Ashful , nothing to see here.
These aren't the PNW ones I'm used to with enough hops to preserve a corpse.

Small pilgrimage today to Wolfville, Nova Scotia and The Church Brewing Co - one more kick at the "can" before I return to the west coast. House taps are German and Belgian, but no "bels" or "pels" on the list, sorry @Ashful. Favorite of course was the white IPA - like a glass of fruit juice.P_20191025_144413.jpgIMG_20191025_142959_01.jpg

You must have an amazing amount of air miles accrued.
 
Back on the west coast again. Found this tonight at my local. Pours garnet red, slight bitterness at the beginning, finish dry as paper, slight hop nose. At 9%, should be consumed with food! ;lol

I have a storage apartment filled with antiques iv collected over the years in house attics that people left behind and forgot about. Old wash boards very old vacuum cleaners, Tube Radios. Silver chandeliers, Old oil powered chandelier, clothes irons that you put hot coals in for heat ,some that are meant to set in a fireplace to get hot. Not sure just what to do with all this stuff.

One word: auction. It’s liberating!
 
Finally tried the Evil Genius PMDCPBP . It is my kind of beer. Being a porter. Not bad. Smooth, easy drinking, ABV not too high. Founders porter is a little better. The coconut porter at my local craft brewpub is good but its also different from batch to batch.
