Biked onto the Southworth ferry at Fauntleroy this morning, down to Yoked Brewing for lunch. Back to Port Orchard where we took the foot ferry (with bikes) to Bremerton and then strolled right onto the fast ferry back to Seattle. You can’t take e-bikes on the fast ferry if they have fat tires, but you can take the state ferry instead. Great day exploring new bike options a bit farther afield. #biketooter #pnw #transit #beer

Do cans of beer go off?

I found some cans hiding at the back of a cupboard with a best before date of November 2013.

Should I drink them?

I feel very lucky to live close to The Foodery, a place with an astounding array of beers, purchaseable by 4- and 6-packs. I don't drink a ton of beer these days, but it's hard to resist all this nonsense! :)

Time to celebrate the #BrewDay with a special #cocktail that's only available on such days. The Hot Scotchy is made by mixing scotch with fresh wort (unfermented #beer). Ratio is up to you, here I've got about 5:1 wort to scotch.

Some people claim this creates an approximation of what your finished beer will taste like, but I've never found that to be true. It's especially untrue when you use sweet wort (wort before hops are added to it) which is what I'm drinking here.

Wild yeasties are all happy this morning and ready for the brew day! Hive came from my bee hive (comb, honey and bees). GrandDad came from juniper berries my wife snagged at Granddad's Bluff in LaCrosse, WI. The unlabeled is my 'abbey' culture that originally I caught from my neighbor's raw honey back in 2013.

I'll be brewing a Honey Tripel (thanks to all who voted in the poll!) for the abbey, and Saison for the two new recruits.

Might be a good time for an #introduction!

I'm #autistic and #ADHD. I'm a cis male, but I go by they/them pronouns because pronouns are cool and I support the cause! And, well, manly culture kinda sucks, anyway. I'm #demisexual.

I work in tech, which is meh, but I apply those skills for #FOSS work and #cat volunteering in my free time. I have a cat, and I currently house a cat family of 3.

I enjoy #anime and #manga, and enjoy good literary analysis. Writing #MHA "fix-it" fic, currently enjoying #kagurabachi.

I enjoy games! I'm big on #PathOfExile, #LastEpoch and #Warframe. Really need to finish my #persona3 playthrough, though...

I own a #bass, but it currently collects dust as I'm dealing with stuff. I like #coffee and #beer.

Today's prize; a four-pack of Heady Topper from the Alchemist in Stowe, Vermont. This is the one that launched the IPA craze in the US. At one time, this was the highest rated beer in the world. Very difficult to find outside of Vermont. It shows up maybe twice a year in Massachusetts in very limited quantities. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time today.
