Murph and I killed a growler of honey wheat and another of scotch ale last night - this morning he traded me my empty "old style" 50/50 growler for the full "new style" 50/50 growler full of scotch ale still in the fridge we were saving for tonight.
best part - the new style growler fits in my maxped 12x5 bottle bag. (EXTEMELY tight fit)
Thursday we stopped at the Free state Brewery in lawrence (really tasty ESB as a seasonal and pretty decent oatmeal stout) for an afternoon cool-off before driving to Cabelas in KC.
Dinner Wednesday was at the Granite City brewery (another stout -- because they had a $7.50 pitcher special going that we split 3 ways while Mr. Murph had a sampler flight)
Yesterday we did some hiking near Manhattan, Ks on the Konza Prairie - and stopped for lunch at the Little Apple Brewing Company.
the Murphs each had the 6-taster flight, I tried the ESB and Birch Beer (yes, they brew their own soda pop, too!) and had another Oatmeal Stout (seeing a trend here?)
we brought home a growler full of Birch Beer to make floats with this evening.
This afternoon we wandered the property, then came in for a pint of Tallgrass Brewing Co's summer seasonal: Ginger Peach Saisson -- crisp, tart, slightly astringent.
happy 4th all!
