Had a pangead APA at restaurant, forgot to take photo.
Went to supermarket to get stuff. Good George Deckchair APA 5.2%.
This one was quite fragrant hop wise. Unlike an IPA it's nicely balanced and very easy to drink. Overall 8.5.
6 pack was 11 bucks USD. For a reasonably priced hazy APA would almost give it a 9.5 for cheap "craft" beer. Gorkovskaya the only other cheap APA in its league assuming you can find it around $2 USD. Not drinking Russian beers obvious reasons.
Better than Emersons and that's not to bad bottoms up.

Untitled Art Red Velvet Cake Pastry Stout.
(It looks redder than the picture).
"The UA crew started with a smooth, chocolatey base before layering it with cocoa nibs for a rich, cakey flavor, while coconut gives the impression of cream cheese frosting. They even added a hint of beet juice to get that signature red velvet color. And with an untraceable 11.7% ABV, this cake is boozy!"
Omg that's sweet. The closest thing I can think of is an ice-cream drink at a campus bar at University of Illinois in the early 90s.
Probably not something I'd grab for if the goal was a beer though...

Yeah supermarkets doing a promotion on the glasses. Normally she gives the stuff away but realized the various glasses can be used on cider.
I normally use Igor (big grolsch glass) or Kate (the birra glass).
Igor was another freebie buy a big bottle of grolsch get free glass.
Kate was purchased at a tourist trap "castle".
Probably won't use the new ones to much except on cans.
Ooh. I need to see if we get that one here. Good coconut porters and stouts are one of my favorites.

Mostly beer free week. Only the coconut stout. Bought a 6 pack of krombacher but kind drunk 5 at once oops.
Developing a coffee addiction though. Recently aquired coffee machine.
Bowl of mocha, mines on the left from yesterday. NZ coffee usually twice as strong as American.
And this mornings effort
Different place. Default here is double shot of coffee, ask for a double you get 4. Bottom one had Whittakers dark chocolate melted into it.

Sweet Baby Jesus Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter from DuClaw is always outstanding (and I don't get often due to an allergy in the family)
Unfair to review the second one I chose given it was while eating a Jalapeno Pimento-Cheese Burger (solid burger on a great choice of bun) and (really good) Mac and Cheese.

Spend months of not a year or two looking for them s brand.
Volfas Engelman was one of the highest rated macro lagers I scored at a 9/10. Lithuanian brew.
Found their APA today. 5%
Instead of American Pae Ale it's an Australian Pale Ale. I guess it's Australian hops brewed in Lithuania? Last Aussia beer I had was kinda bad a 5/10 Victorian Bitter.
Expectations were a typical macro APA. Slightly hoppy hopefully fairly smooth and not as overwhelming on the hops with faint citris tone.
Well this one was fruity bit more of a soapy banana or passion fruit flavour. Bit unusual. Hard to rate but not particularly enjoyable it's ok I suppose so 6/10?
Still the sticker on the can had a website.
Low opinion of Australian hops continue.
Found the lager woot.
