Beer Geek

I am a beer geek. I crave good beer and some of my top breweries do not distribute to Illinois and this saddens me. But not too much anymore because I have stocked up!!

Oskar Blues started the canning craze in craft beer and provides great beer across all categories - Ten Fidy (imperial stout), GUBNA (imperial IPA) and their flagship Dale's Pale Ale (duh - Pale Ale) are all delicious. I am now getting thirsty!

That brings us to the pride and joy of Wisconsin, and no it is not the Packers, it is Central Waters. Satin Solstice Imperial Stout, Glacial Trail IPA and Double IPA are tasty treats that I shouldn't have to drive so long to get.

The trunk of my car - loaded.

A New Meaning to Man Cave

Going from 75 to 8 degrees in two and a half hours was rough. Shorts and a T to jeans and a jacket. Coming home from Florida was a temperature shock, but since we live in what my wife says is the 'arctic tundra' we are used to it.

After the blizzard last week, we exited the area without time to take advantage of the snow. So when we came back yesterday, Hunter decided we should go play in the snow. But instead of playing, it was all work for me. I challenged myself to a duel - with an igloo.

I have to admit, I didn't think it was going to be easy. And guess what - I was right. It was hard work getting the right shapes, hell, who really knows how to build an igloo? Anyways, I wiggled into my new man cave about 4 hours after I started it. I am looking forward to spending a night in there before it melts.

Let me know if anyone is looking for a place - I will rent it cheap.

Sunshine

After a couple hard days of shoveling, everyone needs a break. Mine so happened to take place 1100 miles away in a place called Florida, where the sun shines and the temperature is above 12 degrees unlike my homeland - Chicago. Hitting the pool, Disney, Gatorland, and phase 10.

Pics and maybe a video to come.....
