Staying at home!

So, a couple of months into COVID-19. Way too much hype!!

Well, aided by a bout with Diverticulitis and being unable to drink beer because of the meds, I found out that my new Growler Werks growler, mentioned last month, will, indeed, keep beer fresh for three weeks. I love it!

So, how am I dealing with the stay at home order?  Well, I like to think I invented social distancing 60 years ago. It hasn’t been a problem! And, there have been some benefits - some breweries, trying to maintain sales, have begun shipping beer straight to consumers. I discovered Threes Brewing in NYC. They have Vliet, one of the best pilsners I have ever had that wasn’t from Czechia or Germany. Really enjoyed it. I’ll be trying more of their beer, and other breweries that now ship.

Additionally, just before the stay at home order, I made a trip to NC. My bounty included Fram Boos, Black Angel and Denouement from Wicked Weed. All sours and all great. WW is getting a lot of grief from the locals for selling out to the “big guys”. I didn’t like it either but, damn, it hasn’t affected their offerings. Good beer is good beer!

Stay happy and healthy!
Cheers!
