It's a perfect day for the Christmas version of The Pale Shadow Over Innsmouth. And by perfect day, I mean one that I'm still alive. And able to drink a beer. 5.8% ABV and a nice sweet malty backbone with a bitter finish.
I'm not one for new years resolutions or anything like that but I am about constantly trying to be a better human and if I had to choose one song to share w everyone it would be "Get Better" by Frank Turner.
So, give it a listen and let's all try to get better.

Waiting for pizza dough to finish rising, may as well have a beer.
BREWERS BALL 6 – CLASH OF THE GREATS ⚾🍻 is this Sunday at Collective Arts in Hamilton.
If you can some celebrate and raise funds for McMaster Children’s Hospital and drink some beers along the way.
I am so glad I was able to help in my little way, adding some of my art.

Yeah it's not great at that stuff

Sunny Sunday Funday. Having an Avling Brewery (Toronto ON) British Ale and floating.
A glass of amber beer in a glass on a table
Post shift beer. Skeleton Park Brewery (Kingston ON) Amber 6.6. My favorite beer from these guys. Rich, velvety mouthfeel, notes of dark bread, slight bitter middle with a tannin like bite on the finish.

It's abeautiful day for brewing. Today's brew is an experiment with Special B, Vienna, Maris Otter, & Crystal 40 malts with Battle House (Almonte, ON) Galena & home grown Fuggle hops & Windsor & Nottingham yeast. It's another FAFO beer. When you have leftovers that need to be used, you use them.
What D&D class would real-world you be?

34C/93F and sunny. Pool time calls, but first a tart cherry radler from Waterloo Brewing.
Harp
A 1/2 & 1/2 (Guinness on top of Harp) in a glass on a table.
Some days you just need a nice 1/2 & 1/2 on the deck.
Mac and cheese with brisket on top and a beer

Sometimes Wednesday calls for a strong drink. Surly Brewing (Minneapolis)2024 Cola Darkness answers the call. Orange on the nose, chocolate upfront that morphs into a vanilla molassesy cola flavor. It's odd that this works so well, but it's a winner.
A beer bottle with the words Zombie Dust on it.

Recently returned from a trip to visit my daughter in the States, brought back the requisite 3 Floyds zombie dust. Does anyone else remember when this was hard to get?

Nice 👍
What's in your glass buddy?

Friday, 20C, and partly sunny. Perfect conditions for The Pale Shadow Over Innsmouth, my traditional English pale ale. Hits all the notes. Malty backbone, toffee, caramel, and a floral hit that transitions to a bitter finish.
