This is the one- Eastern Shore Brewing 'Strawberry Shakedown'. Its a DIPA.

I tried an IPA a while back that was brewed with strawberries, and it was damn good. Can't recall the name off the top of my head. I need to find it again.

Always drink plenty of water. Hydration is way good. Other than morning coffee, and beer/booze, that's all I drink.

Stop at Terrapin Park right near the Bay bridge in Stevensville. You can also stop at the Winery(liquor store), which has a great selection of craft beers to build your own 6 pack, including the DFH high gravity stuff. They are in the Red Apple Plaza on the end towards Safeway.

That's all me by the sounds of it. With any luck I will be out that way sometime this summer.

Yeah that was me, but I said where the only months it "cant snow" are the actual summer months. I more had the the Canaan area in mind. There are lots of places like that out west for sure, but yes most are on the pricey side, otherwise you are literally in the middle of nowhere lol.

Burley Oak is great. Not tried their sours though, as I am not a big fan in general. I need to give that genre more of a try I guess. Maybe the sour/sweet balance would be more palatable to me.

Happy Mother's day to all the moms here. Gorgeous day. Enjoy!

Terrapin Park in Stevensville is one of my local favorites. Its literally just across the bay bridge. Lots of trails and you can walk along the beach. I go there often. Great place to pick up driftwood, which I kinda collect. I have not been since the COVID restrictions, so you might want to check if you decide to go.

Didn't take any before shots, but there was no view beyond the canopy of green in the foreground- lots of undergrowth and brier growing up numerous small trees. Took it all out.

Just a perfect day for doing any outdoor project, minus a bit of wind. Just spent a couple hours cutting back the undergrowth along the edge of the woods out back. Amazing how much it opened things up. I now have a partial view through the trees of the farm behind my property, which I enjoy in the winter months when the foliage is gone.

He will improve with some practice.

Probably how it will go. I was not overly impressed with his play tbh, and think there are younger guys who could step up and do the job for less money. But it wont matter if they have to take a hit to get rid of him.

Not much of a whiskey/bourbon person, but this Jefferson's small batch is smooth and pleasantly sweet. Pretty good stuff. On par with Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve. All subjective ofc. Knob Creek small batch is normally my go to for bourbon.

I am not much on crust, so thats how I would cut it lol. My mom makes an awesome punkin' pie with rum and crushed pecans for a crust.

ET one and done with the Ravens? Maybe.

I had a Goose Island IPA, now a glass(or 2) of red wine. I think I will end up with a Jefferson's small batch on the rocks at some point.

They really are bomb. I was shocked the first time I tried them. A tad pricey, but worth it if you don't want to make them yourself.

Hard to beat these. Even my mom, who is a great cook, uses them when she doesn't have the time. Y'all can go ahead and drag me now.

^hot take

@mappy Finally watched the Westworld finale. Overall I was not overly impressed by the last 2 episodes. However, the after the credits scenes in the finale were pretty epic. I hope the game gets upped a bit for next season. I was totally into this season early on- and how different it was- but then I kinda got a bit bored with the 'story line' as the season went on.

I have been there a couple times recently. You can walk in but they have the counter right at the entrance, and they go and get whatever you want. Ofc you have to know what you want lol. Town and Country is doing basically the same thing. Not sure about ordering ahead but I would assume so.

It is pretty easy to simply not engage those who you think may be "derailing" the thread. Another option is ignore. I was a big proponent of having the COVID thread- I pushed for it and Mappy agreed to start it. I only engaged occasionally, but that's because I was able to keep informed to the level I required without discussing it all day long, and frankly I have other things to occupy my time. I understand that to some it is an interesting topic worthy of investing significant time to discussion, however. Having a dedicated thread also kept it from dominating banter.

The Ravens should sign AB. Whats a little more drama?
