Probable Caws this is not as good as last year. #BombasticBeer Attempted Murder Last year’s was better. This feels thin, the cinnamon & vanilla flavors muted from my January 2026 memory. Let it warm to get the cinnamon activated, enjoy the roasty finish. #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout #bSkyBeer

Late lunch, brats on the grill, football on TV, oak in the glass…. #lupulinBrewing Oak-aged Imperial Sweet Stout 2023 Massive oakiness with a smooth mouthfeel. Notes of smoke and molasses. Sweet with a lasting oaky boozy tingle. p.s. white oak from my backyard,… #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer

Late #stouturday check-in is my first #theBruery taste, the iconic Black Tuesday 2024 This is a big one, lots of licorice, oak, fig, bourbon, and a spicy boozy finish. 19.7% danger zone Will I try more? I’m not sure. An interesting first try. #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason #CraftBeer #stout #bSkyBeer

Was gonna get fancy for Mom with a set of noise canceling Bose headphones and a Bluetooth audio sender for the Roku TV… But that’s one more thing to charge, one pairing that can fail, one gadget to plugin… Did ya know a 35 foot analog audio cable is $17?!?! Simple tech for the win! #technology

Part of my haul from a visit to #lupulinBrewing with a socials friend! OMG it’s BarrelGod 2026 aged in Weller bourbon barrels. Snappy bourbon with black licorice notes, hints of chocolate and barrel oak. Divinity indeed! #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout #barrelAged #bSkyBeer

This was going to be another Frog and Toad ode, but Ok ya damn bug, get the hell out of my beer! #HoppinFrog BA Bite of the Beast barleywine ale Spicy chili start, sweet rich caramel body with a boozy kicking tingle. That should kill off any 🐞 ness, right? #Barleywine #bil #CraftBeer #bSkyBeer

“Doris? Who’s that?” asked Frog “Dunno,” said Toad. “But I hear she’s got a wicked kick.” #HoppinFrog D.O.R.I.S. The Destroyer Double Oatmeal Russian Imperial Stout Bigly hopped, dark and oaty smooth, bitter finish. 10.5% ABV #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout #bSkyBeer

“BA Cinnamon Coffee Shop Assault Vehicle?!?”, asked Toad “Yup,” said Frog #lupulinbrewing Huuuuge. Sweet and thick, cinnamon, coffee hints, boozy back notes, with a curiously flat body. Let it warm! #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason #LetItWarm #stout #CraftBeer #bSkyBeer

So happy to be home with _my_ beer choices. Even if they aren’t smart, they are tasty! Big Dumb Beer from #bombasticbeer Super smooth, cocoa chocolate with a spiced rye back note and a hint of coffee. #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason #CraftBeer #bSkyBeer

So THaT happened…yesterday’s flight home… #voodooranger Juicy Haze IP I really don’t like heavy hopped beers, the citrus notes help a little, but yeah, not my groove. #travelBeer #ipa #hazy #bSkyBeer

It’s a Sunday travel day - airport beers #FourPeaks Kilt Lifter is a Solid Scottish red ale, malty and caramel, smooth with a subtle bitter finish #CraftBeer #airportBeer #travelBeer #bSkyBeer

A tale of two War(steiner)s A dunkel and a pilsner from @warsteiner Beers with local pizza for dinner with my folks after a day of helping them settle back into their winter home. No strife, just life! #travel #warsteiner #family #beer #bSkyBeer

Dinner in PHX at Good China They do not serve on the “good china” but the food was quite good. Closest adjacent beer…Kirin Ichiban. Well, when in Rome…or Beijing…or PHX Basic lager, light malty sweet. #beer #kirin #bSkyBeer

Saw a tree stump grinding company sign: Above & Beyond Stump Grinding C’mon marketing department, “Above & Below” was right there… #SoClose

I only seem to drink this on planes…airborne! #sweetWaterBrew 420 EPA was _free_ today #iAmSoSpecial Light and sweet, citrusy with pine notes and a hoppy finish #AirplaneBeer #beer #travelBeer

Thank you, vendor Support org we pay a lot of money to, for making me go through three cycles of OBVIOUS Claude responses, which ignored my references to a past ticket, before finally inserting a human. I mean, at least TRY to edit out the “I did draw the wrong conclusion…” text and Claudeisms

What are you drinking, asked Toad? Espresso! exclaimed Frog Gesundheit, said Toad. #MortalisBrewing Pourin Mortalis Espresso Coffee #stout VERY sweet, the espresso is almost a side note, covered by dark chocolate and milky sugar. Thicc! #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #bSkyBeer

Another coffee #stout? Don’t mind if I do! The latest restock seems to have included a LOT of them. #mortalisBrewing As Above, So Below Rich and thick with a sweet chocolate base, cinnamon and vanilla body, and a roasty and nutty background. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #CraftBeer #bSkyBeer

Too hot for a fire last night, and we hit 80F again today. Maybe tomorrow when it’s 55?!? Just some Campfire Tales today from #brewTreeBrew Creamy with cocoa and graham, a bit too sweet with a big hit of lactose. It’s got that BrewTree stout base flavor #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #campfire #bSkyBeer

Thought about an evening fire but after a full day outside in the high 80s, cooler seems better. Fire up the grill with an #AdventurousBrewing Whole Bean #stout Big roasty coffee opener and body, medium bitter finish. Not much else to it; it doesn’t lie. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #CraftBeer #bSkyBeer

Uffda! Temps touched 90F on this October mid-summer day at #vikingfestMN Tales of yore and Sagas, historians, amazing music and entertainers, fabulous food. Had to go lighter fare with a #SummitBrewing SĀGA IPA to beat the heat. Appropriately named! #Viking #CraftBeer #festival #bSkyBeer

Beautiful 84F day for VikingFest MN at the Dakota County Fairgrounds And they have good beer! #SummitBrewing Oatmeal #Stout pairs well with the authentic Viking stew #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #vikingFestMn #bSkyBeer

As the Python’s say: And now for something completely different! Courtesy of a friend, @boulevardbeer.bsky.social Mimosa Saison Fits the color of the season, and the 76F temp at 9pm! Big citrus pop, sparkling orange w/a little saison bite. Super drinkable at 8% #CraftBeer #notMyUsual #bSkyBeer

If I’m driving to Big Lake MN for a meet up at #LupulinBrewing you better believe I’m taking some home! To the right, Lupulin To the left, beers from a friend from Fargo. Tasty! #Stouturday #craftBeer #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout

Also at #LupulinBrewing the 2026 Dopplebock Not as rich as I’d hoped for, muted caramel in moderate body. Decent but not outstanding #CraftBeer #stouturday

Oh my God It’s Barrel God At the source #LupulinBrewing 2026 Cuvée Too many barrels to name. Sublime notes of everything bourbon and dark. Cheers to socials friends meet ups! #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #stout #bSkyBeer

Tell All Your Friends We Brewed a Black Barleywine Ok, said Toad… #EvilTwinBrewing Borders on smoked Porter flavor, drying mouthfeel, dark oaky notes #CraftBeer #bil #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer

Damn it, I *am* THAT GUY Maiden voyage of the new WiFi #Shuriken and I grab a _cable_ that isn’t able to let enough power through to properly power the rig. Didn’t notice the odd light pattern until I was home. I’ve found every goofy edge case possible over time #iBreakShit #allTheWifi #wardrive

What Even is Black #Barleywine Anyway? And #barrelAged too, from #EvilTwinBrewing It is delicious, anyway. Bourbon and toffee lead, sweet with cocoa and dark fruits and a nutty finish. #Bil #craftbeer #bSkyBeer

Restock Wednesday because #itsAlwaysStoutSeason and #BIL UPS guy hates me - two boxes, 63 pounds! #HoppinFrog #pFriem #EvilTwinBrewing #Bombastic #RevBrewChicago #BissellBrosBrew #taxmanBrewing #fremontBrewing #BelchingBeaver #Equilibrium And a couple more… #Tavour #craftBeer #bSkyBeer

“Get a grip,” said Toad “I’m trying,” replied Frog, “trying hard…” #EvilTwinBrewing and #HorusAgedAles Even More Grasp Imperial #stout with Ethiopian coffee and hazelnut Big Coffe lead, smooth nutty body, mild bitter finish #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #bSkyBeer

Gonna have pancakes for dinner, so dessert first makes perfect sense 🍫 🍓🍦 #imprintBeer 777 BBA Rich syrupy chocolate with strawberry and vanilla, it’s liquid ice cream! Might pour some on 🥞 #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason #CraftBeer #dessert #bSkyBeer

Holy cow, after 7 months of puttering and emails to support, My #XcelEnergyMN smart meter is finally talking to the app. No changes in my WiFi, maybe it WAS them not me… 😡 Maybe my response on their NPS survey of -10 finally pushed someone to fix things 😎 Now about #homeassistant ? #SmartMeter

Birthday dinner (not mine) and the local Italian restaurant has Peroni AND the right glassware. When in Rome, right? #Beer #lager #italiano #bSkyBeer #peroni

Walked around the Twin Cities Marathon in St Paul for 6+ hours with two #wardrive rigs sticking out of my backpack and not ONE person asked what the hell all those antennas were. I won that bet with my wife (see, they do NOT look bombs… 💣) #allTheWifi @wiglenet.bsky.social

My son improved his marathon time again! 2:54:52 on his third 26.2 #twinCitiesMarathon After 7 miles of walking of our own, it’s #patioTime 2024 #gooseIsland Macaroon #stout Big hits of ginger give it spiced snap, coconut richness on a chocolate stout backbone #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer

#twinCityMarathon and our spectating takes on a distance of its own! @impopsy I don’t know how you do it! This was a 6 hour meander up and down and around downtown and the finish line area #walkAthon #marathon #spectating

It’s the #darknessDay #surlybrewing haul My wife made me do it Well, the two extra 2024 bottles anyway #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout #darkness #fullCellar #bSkyBeer

Another #surlyBrewing #darknessDay on the books. My beautiful wife and some friends joined in for an afternoon of dark beers and loud punk music. Love y’all! Sampled: 2026 Affogato 2022 Gingersnap 2022 LumberJack 2025 Midnight Mint 8 bottles and a t-shirt later… #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #bSkyBeer

Ever feel like the gingerbread man, running running running from that last Friday work thing? #Hardywood Gingerbread #stout Nice milk stout with ginger and cinnamon graham flavors with a touch of honey #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #cantCatchMe #bSkyBeer

What weekend ahead! #SurlyBrewing Darkness Day (Saturday) #TwinCitiesMarathon 26.2 (Sunday-my son not me) It’s a slow burn, start a Snow Burn #RiverNorthBrew Caramel base, spiced notes with honey and orange, tart sharp with a boozy finish. #CraftBeer #wheatWine #beer #bSkyBeer

Did I mention I _have_ to eat this steak again? Had 3/4 of a pound yet to be grilled. Too expensive to let it sit. So Say Even More with #evilTwinBrewing Coffee #stout Perfect pairing, a dry stout with lots of coffee and a smooth finish. #grillTime #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #bSkyBeer

Probing the Deepest Depths again! All this steak won’t eat itself 🥩 🍺 Day 2, it’s as good as day 1. Big rum and fruity oaky chocolate red wine flavors. So glad they are local! #modistBrewing #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason #drinkLocal #stout #bSkyBeer
