Just to mix things up, this week’s photo for “where in the beer world?” was not taken during our current adventure (which began May 21).
It was snapped on a previous trip.
Want a hint? It’s not the world’s most expensive hop cone.
For those unfamiliar, here is how “where in the beer world?” works.
Please leave your answer about where the photo was taken as a comment. Also feel free to comment on the picture, maybe come up with a caption, even if you don’t know where in the beer world . . .
How’s this for perspective?
One of the provincial-run liquor stores in downtown Halifax has a nifty little display of “Beers of the World.”
One of the beers is Old Milwaukee.
Well, it is imported. Made me ask myself a different question: Where is Old Milwaukee the local beer?
Not sure if the seagull adding a pastoral note to this photo taken at Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia is the culprit, but yesterday we got dive bombed by a gull determined to eat some of our ice cream.
First it swept over me (and missed), but it doubled back and nailed Daria’s cone as well as a bit of her finger. Right near this spot.
She’s got the whole story on the Slow Travelers blog.
How bad do I feel I’ve missed the last two rounds of The Session?
Jim has announced the theme for #19 is Deutsches Bier, and we’re going to Germany to be in place Sept. 5.
OK, to be honest, we’ll be at Legoland in Ulm. The short version of a long story: As part of our family adventure entering Week 12 everybody got to pick 10 places in Europe to visit. Sierra chose Legoland (and saved up to pay the admission price for all three of us).
But I bet I can find a beer to write about.
The Internet connection to post from? Another challenge altogether.
Ray has posted the roundup for The Session #18: “Happy Anniversary.”
Nice turnout, although I must confess I was absent. We hiked up Mount Cadillac in Acadia National Park that day, saw nothing more than about 20 feet in front of us because of fog, got totally soaked (four days later and my boots are still drying) and had an absolutely terrific time.
I certainly would have liked to have participated. This is a wonderful year for beer anniversaries. Goose Island, Deschutes, Wynkoop, Great Lakes and Vermont Pub and Brewery are just a few marking two decades for brewing. Takes your breath away, doesn’t it?
I can tell you just where I was when I first (as well as second and third) had Goose Island Bourbon County Stout. Where I was when I tasted Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold, who I was talking to when I discovered Deschutes Black Butte Porter.
