Accounting homework is done, and I noticed that the crowler I picked up at a local brewer was leaking. I had to do something about that.

Very cool Jon, from the knives to the name of the beer, slips to the high and low tide glass.

Tough game. I’m digging the beer choice. Looks like something I’d pick just because of the theme

Man I could use some wheat double bock right now! Good beer, Schneider is one of my trusted go to beers when I want something darker and stronger.

Yesterday evening I decided to have an almost beer.... I had a couple of these left from my sister's visit a while back, and thought I might as well get them out of the fridge. They really aren't bad, just better than a cold glass of water, plus it never hurts to cut a few carbs...
Along with the unicorn 62 and the ever-present patio table Buck knife....

It was, but the beer was good.
It’s brewed by Logboat brewing out of Columbia MO. No distribution outside of MO. They have a couple of beers I like, this one, and a lager called Bobber.

Looks great hornetguy, I like your setup too. Nothing like talking beers while having my morning coffee!

Love that Aventinus!

I said somewhere else that objects like to hide themselves. Here another proof, though wine is not a mere object!
Côteaux du Layon, a mellow Anjou made with hand-picked chenin when noble rot has set. Not to drink before at least 3 years old. This one should drink like "le petit Jésus en culotte de velours", with foie gras (hi California!).
I like the kitsch old sayin' on the neck (clearly politically uncorrect, which I'm fond of!) "Bien fol qui ne s'enivre jamais" What a fool who never gets drunk!
An extraordinary knife for an extraordinary wine waiting for an extraordinary opportunity (did I say my daughter will reach 50 next january?

...and if by great misfortune it is not palatable, here's my B plan.
Always see the bright side of life, tadam, tadam...

Jolipapa Intrigued by the Tokaji, never had it but it must have a sugar content of around 165g/litre...one for sipping with something savoury Makes your Sauternes seem dry

There's that special taste reminding grape seeds noble rot that hides too much sweetness, that could make believe it is quite bitter if there was no sweetness. Age does not make it sweeter, just mellower. Very different of Sauternes (coteau du Layon is in that league, less famous because an Anjou), who is near the mild climate of the ocean, while Tokaji ground is very cold in winter then very hot in summer at the foot of the Mátra mountains. A long lasting taste easy to recognize. Both perfect, lightly chilled, with foie gras!
For Christmas 2018 I had a bottle of Monbazillac about the same vintage that was delightful. Another bottle that my Dad had left and forgotten! Unfortunately I don't think there are many other surprises waiting...

I do not usually like gin - this, however, is most excellent!

Very interesting Alain, and a great pic I hope that your daughter had a happy 49th

Magnificent pocket cutlery and photography as always, Dylan!

I do like gin, but have never tried that one. I’ll have to rectify that some day. Thanks for the tip.

Another stout I got for birthday/Christmas in December. I drank it in early January, but am only getting around to posting it now in mid-February. (In the winter, I move with glacial speed! ) It's a product of Short Fuse Brewing Co. in Schiller Park, IL. It was OK, but I think I'd have been more happy with the "classic export stout" described in the first sentence of the label, without all the additional ingredients.

Yeah, I agree Gary and I didn’t even try it. Sometimes more is too much.

I think you're right, Todd.
Of course, being a fan of traditional pocket knives, I'm probably also biased toward traditional stout.
