Was able to snag a six pack, a first for this beer, a six pack of cans none the less, of Stone Brewery's WootStout! While it isn't the bomber style bottle, I am still excited to try it out and see what the difference in taste is!

Friday night I had one (double) Old Fashion. It was really good but I slept terribly. Related? Unknown.

Only one double to account for a poor night's sleep?

I think that double needs to be doubled in turn, for the future.

Boy I agree that’s probably the problem. May 2019 brought additional responsibilities that interferes with my cocktail hour schedule. I’m way out of training.

Had a rather good can, gasp... I know a can of beer, from our local brewery this weekend. Beachwood Brewing Coconudder milk stout. It was pretty darn tasty!!!

I have some bottles of Estrella Damm chilling in preparation of the La Liga match between FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao. The beer is a favorite in Barcelona.

That beer is supposed to go very well with food; apparently, it was designed as a beer that would accompany food exceptionally well.

Do enjoy - great choice.

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery: Thus, I unearthed a large bottle of Estrella Damm that I knew I had somewhere and have opened it; I had forgotten just how good it is.

Cheers!
