Technically related, I just got a directional freezing rig set up to make clear rocks. Excited to build up a stockpile.

Thought I may attempt a belated birthday beer. Nopes. Sigh

The other new one from the trip to the Northwoods.

Rhoades' Scholar Stout from South Shore Brewery in Ashland Wisconsin. "A tribute to beer designer, Allen Rhoades, a fellow brewer who captured a blue ribbon at the Western Washington State Fair." 6.3% ABV and 35.5 IBU.

A solid stout with more coffee than chocolate, but neither to an overwhelming extent.

I don't have a picture, but last night I had Dill & Ted's Excellent Pickle Lager from Fieldwork. It was so good that I laughed.

New shrubs maturing. Orange with a champagne vinegar, ginger peach with a vinegar blend and plumcot with white wine vinegar.

I've never tried a pickle one before... Will add that to the list.

I had no idea that was how they were made!

"Perception is Spoonfed" by Divine Barrel Brewing. A "Berliner Weisse Style Ale with key lime, coconut, vanilla, graham crackers, and marshmallow".

If they were aiming for a wheat beer that tastes like key lime pie they knocked it out of the park. I'm not sure if that's an aim one should have or not, but I can't stop taking sips.

Got the last can of it at the local store earlier this week. Wow is it good. So far I have not found many sours I like, but am 2 for 2 on liking key lime pie Berliner weiss.

That type and a good pumpkin spice ale might be my two most non-standard favorite types (in among a bunch of more typical weizen/weissbier and stouts/porters).
