Enjoying a passion fruit and lemongrass ale called Passion Grass, a collaboration between Lagunitas and Short’s Brewing Company. Dry and fruity, low ABV, quite pleasant!

Passion fruit and lemongrass sound a wonderful combination, irrespective of how served.
Trappistes Rochefort 10, served in a Traippistes Rochefort beer chalice.
Belgian beers this evening: My first beer is the McChouffe beer from the Brewery Achouffe. (The beer is sublime but the label is absolutely divine).
And my second beer tonight is from the venerable Trappistes Rochefort stable: Trappistes Rochefort 8, served in a Trappistes Rochefort beer chalice.
Two from Cigar City Brewing (home of my favorite IPA):
Guayabera Citra Pale Ale
Tocobaga Red IPA
Plus, homemade wings, first round, my jerk seasoning (dry), second round, a wet marinade (soy/honey/sriracha), with a dry Japanese 7-spice. Next, standard dry (salt/pepper/chili/garlic), probably followed by a nice dose of Franks

Enjoying the Temptation ale from Russian River Brewing Company, a sour blonde ale aged in Chardonnay barrels.
Sounds gorgeous.
When I bought the McChouffe, I pursued their website, as I hadn't bought some of their beers in ages.
Apparently, they produced a sour cherry beer (Cherry Chouffe) last year; must see if I can lay hands on a few bottles; done properly, (as Mikkeller does, and, I suspect, as Achouffe themselves would also do) this could be superb.
Ah yes I had the Cherry Chouffe on tap recently in Europe. Heavy cherry flavor but quite tasty and refreshing. Perhaps a tad on the sweet side, just a bit, but its a nice beer to have on a warm evening on the terrace looking out on the street scenes.
Excellent; coming from the D'Achouffe brewery, I had assumed that it wouldn't be too sweet (which is the bane and challenge of the fruit beers).
Must see if I can lay hands on a few bottles.
Beautiful label. As full of character as those from Achouffe.
Trappistes Rochefort 10, in a Trappistes Rochefort beer chalice.
Enjoying a late night cape of Kirkland Tawny Port. A good way to end the evening.
Never heard of it.
And so, it lamentably came to pass, or so they say, in some unspecified and unverified sources, that Simon (sometimes known as Peter, but some do go by so many names) disowned that what he had claimed to love.
I associate rochefort with bleu cheese.
Rochefort cheese is sublime. As is Rochefort Trappistes beer......
Visiting the Orlando Fl. area this week and had one of the local IPA's by Terrapin Beer Co. Not the best IPA, but it was serviceable.
