Trying to lose some of my Covid-19 weight gain. So, lots of tea, coffee and for my nightcap.... I'm taking the plunge into spiked seltzers as a low cal alternative to my usual Vodka and whisky.

Several different Belching Beaver IPA offerings.
Girdwood Brewing Co. Dysfunktional Wild Ale. Quite good.
The only good thing to come out of Girdwood is jalapeño cheese corn dogs. However, I both enjoy wild ales and will be passing through Girdwood probably 4 times in the next 5 days so I may grab some.
And I guess hilarious police stories. Also Alyeska is fun if you’re into that kinda shit.
Tonight I'll have a Worthy Brewing Lights Out Stout. Last Friday I had a 2017 Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout. It had aged wonderfully. The chocolate and oak notes were front and center!
French pressed Starbucks left over from this morning.
Just finished a Founders CBS. Moving on to another IPA from Belching Beaver - Hazers Gonna Haze.
Probably switching to bourbon here before too long.

I should have reported this two weeks ago. At a friends house did some whiskey tasting. One really cool stand out. Del Bac, Dorado. It’s made in Tucson,AZ. It’s a scotch style whiskey, but instead of peat for the fire, the use Mesquite wood. Very Smokey savory flavor. Very fun to try.
Good tasting several styles to understand the differences.

Sipping on a bottle of Old Forrester 1920. It's good, but honestly, for the money I'd rather have two bottles of Wild Turkey 101.
Just bottled a 5 gallon batch of Melomel (fruited mead). Ran out of bottles so I guess I have to drink what's left in the tank ??. This batch was made with local raw honey, and persimmons, holy basil, and wild cherry bark from the back yard. Primary fermentation with wild yeast followed by aggressive secondary mixed fermentation with champagne yeast and brettanomyces. Left to clear in the brite tank for 6 months because I wanted to let the wild yeasts work, and because I'm hella lazy. Half expected sourish funky brew, but it came out dry as a bone and clean as a whistle. Didn't take initial gravity readings, so no clue on the abv. I'll just have to judge by the buzz?.
First it was Balvenie Single Barrel Sherry Cask 15 yo.
Second drink of the night - Glenmorangie Extremely Rare 18yo
