Beer is Good, Shoulders and Triceps

It is fantastic that I live in a community where people are very creative and overachieving. There is a NOLS and WMI instructor here that among all of his other talents has decided that in the future he would like to start a brewery: High Alpine Brewing. He will brew a new recipe and we will get an inexpensive growler of tasty beer. The bonus is also that we know exactly what has gone into the making of the beer and we are supporting a guy that is learning and building for his future career. Win win.

Today's quote is from Plato:

"He was a wise man who invented beer."

Dark Beers and Legs

I am personally a fan of dark beers, specifically Imperial Stouts. Tonight we had a great beer called Squatter's Outer Darkness Imperial Stout. Smooth and a bit chocolaty while packing a punch of 10.5% alcohol. It was a really nice way to wrap up a Saturday on which I had to work but reveled in a Notre Dame Fighting Irish victory!

Today's quote is from Plato:

"He was a wise man who invented beer."
