It is a crepe bought as 'fast food' at 'cafe' one lunchtime in Bordeaux when on holiday in August 2016. I think of it as an upmarket all-breakfast buttie
Needless to say, it was very tasty ..
Speaking of breakfast food, my wife and I visited a restaurant for the first time since mid-March of last year. Sunny Street Cafe is one of our favorite breakfast restaurants in Columbus (First Watch is the other).
Pie & Pint in pub in Winchester, two weeks before Lockdown 1.0
Trying this beer, Lake Erie Monster, for the first time as I am posting this. First few sips are pretty good. ?
Great Lakes doesn't make anything bad. It's only a question of which you like better. They also have a restaurant that is very good.
Looking back to my preparations for comparative analysis at the start of Lockdown 1.0, March 2020
had to dig way into the archives for this, 1978, I think 15 liter keg of Pils ... had my last beer I think in 1983 ...
Yes! I was going to post this sign last week when alcohol-related pictures were getting posted, but the game passed me by and I had to be patient. As an added bonus, there are cats in this picture as well! ?

How hoppy? I generally find American IPAs a bit OTT, although I not that it is called Imperial IPA - to what does the Imperial refer?
Definitely hoppy. I like IPAs, but I also like nut-flavored beers and chocolate flavored beers as well.
I will drink this again (I did buy a four pack), but it might be a while before I buy it again. Not an indictment of this beer, far from it, but there as sooooo many good choices for micro-brewery beer. I was looking for some Three Floyd's beer and I saw some, but not Space Station Middle Finger (yes that is really a beer), so I tried this one. ?
EDIT: I missed the question from @StrollerEd, in my first response, about what Imperial IPA really is. I don't know offhand, but I found the following after searching on DuckDuckGo, and it seems accurate as far as this beer goes:
Beer Advocate - Beer Styles: "Take an India Pale Ale and feed it steroids, and you'll end up with a Double or Imperial IPA"
Brew Wiki - Imperial IPA: "Imperial IPA is a recent American invention created by microbrewers pushing the envelope with strong beers"
This matches what I have tasted in this IPA and other strong IPAs.

there is also a tomato in that pic, a fruit, so here are some tropical fruits, Indonesia, 1992
Sharp eyes! My picture had more potential segues than I realized! ?
Cool, I did not know that, but I am not surprised since it seems to be not uncommon for micro-brewers to also have a pub/restaurant. Is this (Great Lakes restaurant) in the Cleveland area?
Also, I think I have had Great Lakes beer before and liked it. ? ?
Indeed, but since I took the picture and the sign and related cat nonsense is in my fricking house, I should not have been surprised by this. ?a 5k monitor does the trick
and, my dear Trips, that is what I describe as a bit too hoppy
Oh yeah, as I made my reply I was thinking "yeah, @StrollerEd probably won't care for this one..." ?and, my dear Trips, that is what I describe as a bit too hoppy
This is the range I had been imbibing during Lockdown 2.0 - which are colourful, just like the previous photo
So, I know you like Innis & Gunn because this isn't the first time you have mentioned them. Are they a UK beer?This is the range I had been imbibing during Lockdown 2.0 - which are colourful, just like the previous photo

I ask because I think I will be watching to see if I can find them in a local store, and knowing where their beer "comes from" will help me set my expectations as to whether or not I can (easily) find them in Columbus, OH, USA.
I was able to pick up some Innis & Gunn a while back (well over a year now, actually) at a Total Wine and Beverage store, so check that out if there is one available in the Columbus area...... Have to admit, though, that it wasn't one of my favorites once I had tasted it. Been a long time now since I've been back to Total Wine.....need to make a little drive over there one of these days soon!
One beer that I did enjoy from the UK is Old Speckled Hen..... worth a try, anyway!
