Long day yesterday...worked about 10 hours going 110% flat out all day...had a blast and it felt great. Got home and helped prep dinner and settled in for some tv time and few wobbly-pops....

Verboten "In Love With Summer" blonde ale with strawberry and rhubarb. Not bad but nothing special.

Ex Novo "Mass Ascension - fresh hop v2021" IPA...love it, great stuff.

Another work day, busy but not overly so. Chillaxing before grilling a lamb leg steak for dinner.....

Springdale "Lavenade" - a lemon and lavender sour ale, not bad, could use maybe a bit more lemon.

La Cumbre Brewing Co "Oktoberfest" v2021. My first marzenbier (but not the last!) of the season, and as usual they've done a very fine job.

I dig it. Nothing groundbreaking but a few tracks have a 7th Son vibe.
It's Maiden so you know, better than 75% of the new metal releases.
 
Friday, home from work, time for BEER

Shared with Mrs D and her mom, a can of Bow & Arrow "Strawberry Amigo" sour

The hop-fiend agenda this evening:

Bow & Arrow "Surf the Mesa" IPA. Great stuff...from the can design featuring our White Sands NP to the simcoe/citra hops inside...really smooth west-coast IPA with a nice subtle bite.

Sidetrack Brewing "Basecamp - fresh hop" - not as good as Ex Novo but still a solid brew from a great little neighborhood brewery.

and now a can of that most excellent Ex Novo "Mass Ascension - fresh hop" IPA

Company for Sunday dinner, we shared a crowler of Gravity Bound Brewing "Window Sill Scavenger" - a dessert sour with strawberry, rhubarb, vanilla and graham cracker.

A single can I saw at Total Wine....Maui Brewing "Big Swell" IPA. Never had a beer from Hawaii before...not bad but a tad on the average side.

A recent staple...Ex Novo "Mass Ascension - Fresh Hop v2021" IPA...such delicious stuff!

and one I picked up on the way home today - La Cumbre "Obscxura" wet hop NEIPA. Last year's release was really good after settling in for a week or so, this years is even better right after being canned...definitely buying more before they're gone and that means stopping by again tomorrow.
