Taking down the tree today, with a 2017 California Cab, while listening to Dave Grusin's "Eddie Coyle" and "Condor."
Ahh after 3 days of, did you try El Condor and Condorman?

Sorry I missed yesterday's meetup. Unfortunately, work got in the way. Today though, I am enjoying this:

It was fun Thor!
Michael, is that ale 8.4%?!! Don't think I've ever had ale with that alc volume! Be like rocket fuel!!
Yes, it is 8.4% alcohol. Double IPAs tend to pretty high in alcohol content. I don't think I would want to go much higher as the alcohol flavor is too prominent for me.

Oh gosh, that's even lower than the 4.7% you get in regular stores. I could just as well drink sparkling water instead! 
I am originally from Utah, and state law limited the alcohol content of beer sold in stores or on tap to 3.2%. My brother who still lives there, said they recently raised the limit to 4%. If you want anything stronger you have to go to a state run liquor store with limited hours, is much more expensive, and by law can't refrigerate any of the booze. The local microbreweries do what they can under these restrictions and still make some great tasting beer.

All this talk of beer has me reaching for what remains of my second Trappist beer box...the Trappistes Rochefort 'no. 6'.

Ahhh. Totally envious, Falkirkbairn. That's a good one! Alas, I have a "white week" untill Friday and can't join you in absentia.
Just deciding whether to have a 'no. 8' next?
