    Looks much better than my PBR. I do like Sweet Baby Jesus though.

    I was a big beer snob for a while. I guess I am taking a break for now. But I live in an area where beer is abundant from everywhere! I live across the street from the best German restaurant in San Francisco (Suppenkuche) and they have so many authentic German beers on tap, it is even funny. Plus they serve each in their own special glass... just like Germany!

    A few beers I have enjoyed and would certainly drink again, in no particular order:

    Paulaner

    Murphys

    Hefeweizen

    any Double Cream Stout

    Lindeman Framboise Raspberry

    Also I live within walking distance to this bar Toronado

    I'd love to have another
    BITBURG. Drank it fresh daily from the brewery for years when stationed in Germany.

    Spotted this at the liquor store today. From Cigar City Brewing ( https://www.cigarcitybrewing.com/beer/spanish-cedar-jai-alai/ ). Steeped with Spanish cedar! Just had to try a four-pack

    Their tasting notes read:

    Cracked black pepper and sandalwood aromas present themselves assertively but complement the base beer’s tangerine, clementine and citrus peel notes. Balanced and juicy on the palate, caramel-like malt flavor helps temper bitterness and spice from the wood, while the distinct flavor of cedar lingers long on the tongue.

    Yeah... written in the grand tradition of tasting notes.

    Anyhoo, I paired it with a GoldenHair robusto, which I rolled mid-June. These bustos are blended with an Ecuadorian viso binder holding Pelo de Oro (Golden Hair) seco round a Dominican Criollo viso core, all wrapped in the now unobtanium FX Smith's CT shade. I figured that this typical Dominican blend, with its dry, nutmeg, aromatic & mellow character, would go well with Spanish cedar. It did not disappoint.

    I do not recommend this beer for refreshment. It would prolly give you the gacks. But simply as mouthwash during a gar, it works admirably.

    They have a host of other beers as well. Seem like bold experimenters. Luyckily, they sell their beers in four-packs, so if you can't stand the first one, there's only three to chuck.

    The brewery name is right.

    nota bene: about to embark on a new stash of Golden Hairs blent with a Pelo de Oro ligero core instead of criollo.

    Sandalwood? Hard pass for a beer. Any patchouli notes?

    Mind blown!

    This tastes like Dragons Milk White Chocolate.

    A friend gave me a quart crowler of Never Go Full Murk by Blue Oak Brewing Company to try fresh. I'm looking for tobacco pairing ideas, pipe or cigar.
