I didn't exercise at all this week. Same beer sits in the fridge. I may do a stress test on push-ups today and try to get 100 push-ups going again. I also (sadly) look forward to Stu's review of the shake weight.
While I didn't deserve it, we went to Dogfish Head for lunch on Saturday with Mel's Dad and brother Zack. In my not so infinite wisdom I had a Raison D'etre, a Burton Baton (possibly one of the best beers I've ever had) and a World Wide Stout (all on draft). I'll leave it up to your imagination how I felt after that.
It was a strange combo that ended up working out well. The Raison D'etre is a very smooth beer. Easy drinking first beer. Went exceptionally well with the nothing I was eating at the time. The Burton Baton is very hoppy on the front with a malty finish. Went surprisingly well with the spinach dip. The World Wide Stout is sweet, heavy and in your face. Fortunately I was eating BBQ chicken with a rather sweet sauce, topped with onion rings that were made with red onions. Ended up being a great combo.
While I haven't been able to tap the reserves this past week, I did grow the collection. James MacChlerie picked me up (thanks dude!) a BrewDog Tokyo and a Mikkeller Devine Rebel for my reserve stash. Still need to pick them up from him.
I stopped at The Perfect Pour today and snagged a Cisco Moor Porter, 2 bottles (a now and a stash bottle) of Saison du BUFF and a bottle of Hitachino Nest Sweet Stout which I've been wanting to try because of the cool label. They had a few more BrewDog beers I wanted but I didn't really want Mel to punch me in the middle of the store. It was two different bottles of Paradox. Also saw an aged Old Rasputin that I REALLY wanted but $25 a bottle is a bit much when I've already crushed my beer budget for the month.
Depending on how Mel is doing I may crack a couple of bottles with Aaron "Bedlam" Mosley on Thanksgiving.
