Keep your eye on the beer.

Thanks Jack. I had fun, but quickly switched to a Mora Classic after putting a couple of tiny chips into the very acute edge I put on the pen blade. That little chunk of ebony proved to be hard stuff. Oh well, it'll be easily repaired with no real harm done and I learned something along the way.

I like that photo of your Ancient, BTW.

My Lambsfoot and I put in some more work in the garden today and now we're taking a break:

Good stuff Greg, and thanks Always a treat to see your Lambsfoot, and I imagine that Founders Porter is delicious, I don't think I've tried a single beer of theirs I didn't love

Not one of thier best sours, but still good. Just sitting back thinking about the awesome barlows I have been able to score the past few months!

I haven't tasted it yet, but it smells like apples.
Quite a favorite of our founding fathers, according to the label.

I have tasted it now. Our founding fathers must have been pretty tough.

There's a cult movie of the 60s where mobsters are in a kitchen and try and drink the same kind of (moonshine) potion. And two phrases everybody knows by heart since :
- Some apple in it? -Yes, there's some!
and
- I knew a Polish girl who used to drink it for breakfast.

A very nice October Beer and a "new" #71 in 01

Thanks, my friend. Founders Porter is indeed a first-rate example of the style. I hope you'll have an opportunity to try it for yourself some day.

If I recall correctly, you're not a fan of gin, but I find that a good Gin & Tonic pairs quite nicely with a Lambsfoot.

That's a nice dram, Nature Boy, a perfect "Porch" bourbon.

 

[Nature Boy]

Agreed.

Thanks a lot Greg I think I was in short trousers when I decided I didn't care for gin too much, so it's a completely unreasonable prejudice! It's having a renaissance here at the moment, particularly in Leeds, where I live. Someone got me to taste a Sheffield gin a few months back, and I didn't find that too bad, but mainly because it didn't taste much like gin! A very civilised accompaniment to your fine Lambsfoot my friend

Here's me in Sheffield yesterday (I knew that if I'd have had a lunchtime pint, I'd have probably fallen asleep on the train and ended up in Newcastle!)

Jack, I'm not going to lie, I think that Dandelion & Burdock beverage might have been the most confusing thing I saw in the supermarket when we were visiting England. I'd never heard of such a thing!

Had to do little regrinding so the blade is all clean now... kinda annoying in that sense.
Finnish Koff Porter (strong very toasty porter) today with one of my favourite autumn/winter beers from Germany aecht schlenkerla rauchbier märzen (dark smoke beer).

Dark Smoke Beer sounds delicious! I will have to remember that one
