Tonight’s beer 🍺 comes in second so far to the hazelnut dark beer 🍺 from my birthday. This raspberry wheat beer was more like a tart mineral water, but delicious and sweet and oh so good. Would definitely recommend it.

Day 22. A mighty fine lager.

Yessssss. So close to done now!

Disappointingly, the “X” in tonight’s beer 🍺 doesn’t stand for eXTREME, but “eXtra”. I wouldn’t say it was eXcessively good, but it was a tasty pale ale.

Tonight’s beer was a bit cloudy, which was nice. Not sure why it’s called 69 though…

An easy drinking pale ale tonight. Of course, most pale ales are pretty easy drinking, which I’m guessing is why they are so popular.

I finished this beer and thought to myself, “Man, that beer is making me thirsty!” Considering I’d spent the whole day painting, I expected the beer to quench my thirst. Upon reading the label, I discovered that they added salt to the beer for flavour. I can’t say it tasted salty, but it did make me thirsty.

Today’s beer 🍺 was hard earned. It also tasted pretty good; fruity and light.

Today I sanded the walls in 2/3rds of the house, including a couple of walls that had been painted with a texture paint. Then I had a beer. This beer. It barely touched the sides, but what I did taste was very good.

Fresh carpet for the kids rooms. Before and after shots left to right. Looks soooo much better now!

The first sip of tonight’s beer left me feeling a little underwhelmed, like a fine mist of water sprayed on my face when what I really wanted was to dunk my head in a pool. But a few more mouthfuls and I was sold, and the rest disappeared before I knew what was happening. Fresh and crisp and tasty.

I wasn’t overly fond of tonight’s beer. Felt maybe a tad over carbonated?

Yet another pale ale, but this one was amazing. Hints of orange, with a really gentle taste. Wish I had another one.

The workers made a lot of noise today. First there was the grinding. Then there was the sawing. Then there was the hammering. Then there was more of all the above. But, I think they’re pretty well placed to lay the vinyl floor planks tomorrow!

And back on the pale ales… tonight’s was zesty and fresh, with a real hint of honey, but it didn’t compare to last night’s hazelnut brown. (I love my dark beers!)

Bye bye tiles. Vinyl floors are incoming… tomorrow or the next day.

Finally, FINALLY! A dark beer appears in my early-birthday-advent-calendar beer case. And man, this drop was incredible. I love dark beers for their complex flavours at the best of times, but the hazelnut in this bottle was amazing. Will be chasing down a case of this after Christmas for sure.

Bye bye hideous brown carpet. Hello dirty concrete slab. Floor Reno has started, albeit slowly - levelling tomorrow, floorboards start Wednesday. Can’t wait!!

Another hard day moving furniture and I am honestly devastated that I don’t have another one of these brews to gently pass across my tongue. Recommended.

After a hard day moving furniture, today’s beer 🍺 was 👌. Nothing fancy, just another pale ale, but boy it went down easy.
