Another beautiful day, outside is the place to stay.

Leaves picked up (darn oaks drop leaves all winter)
Gutters cleaned
Human speed 2 mile walk
Dog speed 3/4 mile ramble

If I have to go inside, there’s gonna be a #stout waiting

#boulevardBrewing Espresso Martini Stout

Rich and chocolatey, strong espresso with a boozy lasting finish

Race day again! Kid ran the 10 mile at Goldy’s Run on the U of MN campus. We spectated and enjoyed the sun at The Bank.

We all recover differently, I’ll opt for warming up with a #boulevardBrewing Bourbon Barrel Aged Quad

Sweet cherry bourbon lead, tart caramel and vanilla bitters finish. Awesome!

Bad dog #boulevardBrewing - but I’ll give you a second chance.

Switching to Espresso Martini #stout

Big coffee with a sweet milk stout body. Smooth and tasty. Now I’m barking up the right tree!

We got a new dog so I thought this beer might be good based on the label.

#boulevardBrewing Wood Baron barrel-fresh ale is not this man’s best friend. A light body porter, smooth with a malty oaked nose. Hints of bourbon and a mild hoppy bite finish. It’s just…odd…and hard to place. Saw it rated “funky” on Untappd. Seems to fit.

Hoping it’s not Faux Spring #2, but is sure is a gorgeous day. Let the sun shine in!

#boulevardBrewing Bourbon Barrel Quad is an excellent lunch companion. Bright ruby red, tasty sharp tart cherry lead with bourbon and bitters on the finish.

Coldest morning of the year, -15F and wind chills that closed schools!

#boulevardBrewing warms things up with Bourbon Barrel Quad.

Ruby red, sweet and tart with a bourbon and bit of cherry and a snappy finish. 12.2%

Last of the 2024 #barrelAged variety pack from #BoulevardBrewing

Carrot Cake Belgian-style strong ale.

Malty sweet Belgian with vanilla and a light cherry note. Not a lot of carrot, a boozy finish with a hint of spice. A nice winter warmer!

It’s 1 degree above zero and feels like -15 and #itsAlwaysStoutSeason. Dinner is left over brisket and a #boulevardBrewing barrel-aged Baltic Porter, aged in red wine and bourbon barrels

Beautiful! The red wine flavors and tannins come through with a hint of bourbon finish.

They changed the label so I thought it was different! Turns out it’s the same - #boulevardBrewing Whiskey Barrel Stout

Decent oak and whisky lead, moderately sweet dark sugars. Still has a flat finish even super fresh.

It’s definitely a Belgian #beer kind of night. This is so delicious.
