Two Coolships. Two great breweries. But which ones? Answer in first comment…

A glass of Allagash White with my clam chowder while sitting by the water in Portland on a nice fall day. I may be becoming a Mainer. 😉

Hey - I’m no beer bigwig or anything, but I just got a private little tour at Allagash Brewing, including getting to see their Coolship (Koelschip). I am stoked .

Got fresh hop beer at Breakside! Yay!

Well, besides the things we have to do in Portland, I was hoping to visit some breweries for some fresh hop beer. However, I’ve come down with something and don’t feel like going anywhere. Swell. First World problems, but disappointing nonetheless .

A Breakside IPA overlooking the Willamette River. Not too shabby.

In September of 1983, I stood atop the south tower of The World Trade Center. In September of 2001, I watched with everyone else in horror as we were attacked. Our politics may not align, but we all know where we were and the scars that were left that day. Never forget. 🇺🇸

I like a lot of beer styles, but very little is as pretty as a crisp, clean Pilsner.

Another Vegas brewery closure - North 5th. Beginning to think those who say Vegas isn’t a beer town have a point. Shit. Vegas folks - get out and support the gems we have left!

Can’t wait to get up to Portland in a couple of weeks, even if it’s just because we have stuff to do there. Hoping there’s some fresh hop beers on tap!

It’s not always easy being Grandpa Beer, but sometimes you have to live up to expectations . Only half kidding. 😉

When the UK relatives who are visiting take off for the day, you go for what’s known as a “sneaky pint”.

Me with Jean-Phillipe Goffin, current owner of Brasserie Cantillon, one of the most famous Lambic breweries in the world. I’m pretty damn happy. (My wife’s social skills resulted in this picture - I am obligated to mention this. 😉)

Yes, Kane might be a right w*nker, but I will not stop supporting 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 over it. This team has shown more grit and determination than any England side for years. No matter what happens against 🇦🇷, they’ve done their country (and I was born there, so *our* country) proud. 🦁🦁🦁

All the Germans I have encountered on this trip have been friendly, except for the *[+]!!€ German wasp that stung me for no reason today. That little Luftwespen b*stard can just die.

Pilsner Urquell in a brown(ish) bottle? Didn’t know this was a thing. On the Danube in Slovakia. Good!

If you are offered shots of this at a local bar in Budapest, then: a) they probably like you, and b) you might want to run. Trust me.

Wow. I thought the first flight leg was good. We got upgraded to 1st class for the long second leg - we have our own suite and good German beer!

Irritated, dealing with stress and issues. I said I can’t complain because they’re first world problems, but first world problems are still problems. Don’t hate me - I’m an old beer drinker.

I just had a 3-minute argument with our Amazon Echo to convince it that I don’t live in Portland, although I did visit there, and to answer with the weather in the same place we’ve lived for 12 years when I ask. Oy.

Can you imagine being so mired in the nonsense of rightwing BS—and so goddamn stupid—that you call for people to die over [checks notes] reality TV idiot Spencer Pratt coming in third in an LA mayoral election? What D-U-M-[another letter] times we live in.

So yesterday I talked about someone trying to pass off one of my cat pics as their own. I didn’t pay the cat tax, because…well, hopefully you know. But here’s the cat tax:

Well, that’s a first for me. Somebody on Reddit stole one of my pictures and posted it as one of their own. Who does that? It was a pic of my *cat*.

One of the best German Pilsners out there. I will be taking no questions at this time.
