Haha, Go Big Orange. I’d be a better cyclist if I didn’t give every Saturday in the fall away to game day activities.
If you live in Knoxville or next time you’re here, that photo is from Northshore Brasserie out west. If you’ve not been there it is worth a shot - it’s our go to for a solid date night without driving into downtown
Left Hand IPA.
Actually it’s ‘Upper Hand IPA’. There is a left hand brewery. Not sure if they do an IPA. (They actually do)
the free Mother Road Tower Station I got in Phoenix on Friday night, and the free Lumberyard Brewing Bright Angel that I got on Saturday night in Flagstaff. Both are Flagstaff breweries. The Bright Angel was the winner.
Founders Mortal Bloom. It’s expensive, and fruit and citrus heavy. Not too bad.
A little too much grapefruit, but not overpowering like many ‘tropical’ IPAs. The New Belgium Tropical Torpedo was a really good one, and Magic Hat’s Electric Peel was 5 stars. There are far too many, IMO, that are WAY TOO grapefruit forward. Like that’s about all you taste.
Haven’t seen the former in years, and won’t see the later ever again, sadly…
Mortal Bloom:
Mortal Bloom reminds us that you can find what you’re looking for in truly unusual places. This radiantly beautiful hazy IPA will wrap your tastebuds with intense citrus and tropical notes of pineapple and mango. The intense flavor is balanced by a soft mouthfeel, making Mortal Bloom incredibly flavorful and aromatic without any harsh aftertaste. Embrace the unconventional with Mortal Bloom.
So maybe it’s pineapple? Hmm…
3 hours outside working in the early not-quite-summer heat & and juicing my vo2max the old ways. Cracked open a favorite.
That’s a great one too! (And Bob Marley died May 11th. A sad day)
I tried one of these towards the end of my ride today.
So of course I had to have another to grt me the 12.5miles home.
Bells Two Hearted. (Last night, actually)
We arrived to early for our regular pub and it was p1shing, so we headed to another. They had this on tap.
Bell’s Double Two Hearted. Probably not the whole can. It’s delicious, but really high octane. Perfect for a Saturday night I guess…
Happy Father’s Day to the dads out there!!
Those are the City Connect uni’s……the Boston Marathon colors.
I’m at my brother-in-law’s house, drafted out of HS into Red Sox org, made it to the majors for a week, and he said
