My Old Kentucky Home



Well, I won't say that I apologize for not posting more, because I have been hard at it since I have been home. It has only been a few days, and already I am used to not wearing shoes and my accent is worse than ever... I like Japan, but I love Kentucky!

I made a trip to Liquor Barn when I got home and stocked up on some good beers. For sure, your dollars go a lot farther here than in Nihon. I already drank Stone's 13th Anniversary Brew, and wow was it a hoppy dog. I mean hops. I think I had the hop runs the next day from it and about ten other DIPA's the night before. You wanted to know that.

Here's a pic of what's in my fridge, Wednesday morning 10:28AM:






I'm heading to Pazzo's tonight for pint night. Tomorrow is their "Stone Levitation release party on July 23! We will have Stone XIII Anniversary Ale (double IPA) and Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale on tap!" I would go, but I am picking up a shift bartending at the local pub here in town for our pint night. Should be a blast. I'll post some more pictures from KY soon!

My girlfriend and I went to the Stone release party. We got a pitcher of the Self Righteous Ale which came with 2 Arrogant Bastard pint glasses. It was awesome. One of my favorite beers. Black, but only slightly roasty, and very hoppy in every way. We then took a growler of the 13th anniversary home which was excellent as well. Do you live in Lex? I do, but I'm from Louisville.

On a side note, my Kentucky Common has been mashing/souring for 24 hours and I am about to sparge and boil it. Hope it turns out well.
