And speaking of Stone... Greg of Stone has added a new video to his blog. This time he visits Sierra Nevada Brewing in Chico, CA and checks out the new operations going on there. And yes... my resume has already been sent to Sierra Nevada. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Here are some pictures I took during my last trip to Sierra Nevada.

It's amazing how small of a bottle line runs so well for the #9 brewery in the US. It will be great to see the new line in action.

From our last night in Blackpool I wanted to finally finish off all the stuff I had with me. Loads of drinking that night!

Even Nicole drank some, and she don't do beer

UKday9008.jpg.283cd7dfa6c93cf206ab0a5fdf5ae63b.jpg

It was smooth and decent to drink

Badger's Tasty Foot was really odd

Marston's Pedigree was pretty tasty

UKday9004.jpg.55fcbca3def94dbf542ae727f8377580.jpg

Discovery wasn't too bad either

UKday9002.jpg.28f7b0e3bd5072cd868771d2bda80a73.jpg

Fuller's Organic Honey Dew wasn't too bad

UKday9005.jpg.d4fed2c50680d85970cb254ca4fdc318.jpg

Tastes like spitting fire alright!

mmm New Belgium's Abbey. It gives great head.

 

Harpoon's Irish red. It was good but I prefer the IPA

 

Hop Wallop and a dub on Friday. Tear your tounge out hops. Thanks Dr.!

 

Moved into my new house. Got to go for the Goose

^ OMG, I really missed your PTR`s, Wally! I had no good beer since a few weeks, that is so bad! At the moment I am planing a trip to California! I hope there is also a chance to stay with you a few days!? I really need to drink a good beer and eat some good food!

Alright, have some catching up to do. These photos are from over a week ago at Lake Compounce for Sue & Rich's wedding. Tom Smith, Todd Long and I enjoy a beer during a lame ass show at the park. We all picked the most unusual choice they had, UFO (I totally forget the brewer) which is a wheat beer that's average at best.

Tom, not happy with the selection but it's a beer and that's good at least.

On the same trip, for Sue & Rich's Lake Compounce wedding, we had a BACT meeting back at the posh Motel 6 in Southington. We had a nice variety provided by yours truly and a few Sam Adams from Dave & Janna (or was it Tim?). Here's a few photos from this event...

Tim and Dave enjoy a twin Victory 10 Years Alt.

Robb and I are competing for the most extreme nostril shots with my "mostly signature" Adam face and a new favorite- Dogfish Head ApriHop.

And Tom tries an especially sexy pose with his Pyramid Hefeweizen.

Janna likes Sam between the boobs.

Ellen is excited to try another Pyramid brew, the seasonal Curve Ball (compliments of Tom Smith).

Nice pics Adam. I think Harpoon makes the UFO Hefe. I've been wanting to try that but it pretty much looks like you all didn't care for it. I think I'll wait.

 

Tried the Victory Moonglow Weizenbock. This one is a little unusual but still rather good. Very fruity and spicey for a weizenbock.

The Victory Moonglow Weizenbock. Pretty decent and this was even an old bottle. Held up pretty well.:)

Its great to see Wally back posting what he drinks. Its been a while since I've posted, but we were busy country hopping for coaster credits.

 

Back on Saturday, Nicole and I broke off from the group to try another restaurant for dinner. Watched some World Cup action and drank. Then the fun really began!

UKday10188.jpg.780c4d9af70a353dcbb606b648eded86.jpg

And it went well with our hidden Mickey nachos

UKday10187.jpg.6af7fa6966a3314bdb94e9dc4b5b00d7.jpg

It was pretty good stuff, for English

UKday10186.jpg.7317267af7b3b46924f4df1953eb9c77.jpg

Had a Boddingtons finally

Earlier in the day, Nicole found some Absinthe at a grocery store we stopped at, so of course she had to pick some up. After the cafe for dinner, it was back to the hotel for some Absinthe. Really was disgusting, but perhaps that's because we were ill-equipped for proper drinking.

TPRUkday8to11163.jpg.65e64864a9511fab4cc9bb685a2676f9.jpg

EVeryone enjoyed the little party though

TPRUkday8to11164.jpg.648f44d752186b8551ef0ff3a4f3cbd4.jpg

Ted tried to make it better with fire, but he was unsuccessful

TPRUkday8to11161.jpg.c8bfa45cd5c1b0e1f3169f9280981771.jpg

We didn't get too wasted, but we were happy

TPRUkday8to11160.jpg.3eb55d70e1b67ff6b2895dc5f8bd279b.jpg

It kinda tasted like bad nyquil

TPRUkday8to11159.jpg.75a3ee4d87ef3be69fd79fb137d91642.jpg

And then pour some ice water over the sugar packets we had in the room

TPRUkday8to11157.jpg.2652472ed06b86f6887729dcc46c5b69.jpg

I pour the green stuff into the bathroom glasses

UKday11002.jpg.7a3f8d238d78f0c07b9913f5cbbef92a.jpg

Yup, its real Absinthe

Then on Sunday at Thorpe Park, we all managed to ride everything fast thanks to the express passes, so we had some time to relax. Fortunately, the park had a bar!

UKday11081.jpg.771b98dc50be77cb82297d13c17fa307.jpg

We all enjoy the break from the heat

UKday11079.jpg.a2b4750ffdbbfe1887d00805b4e56541.jpg

Non-German Tom treated us to drinks. I got the John Smith's Extra Smooth. I must be getting used to not so bitter bitter beer

UKday11086.jpg.8f58645450baa8c1fe63d4e1583a9be7.jpg

The big dome contains a bar!

No drinking on Monday because we were too busy in Norway, but Tuesday I woke up to a dream, a dream called Liseberg!

TPRUKaddon2146.jpg.48fc2e52760ac152dcc300e60a2e19d3.jpg

No beer, but we enjoyed some vodka drinks...served in a glass made of ice, of course!

TPRUKaddon2141.jpg.95dc3d5e045fbe575855d056eec6583a.jpg

Nicole and I enjoyed the ice sofa and table

TPRUKaddon2143.jpg.882be8bbcb95ea09a2078cd48e67a979.jpg

Everything was made of ice, the walls, the bar, the tables. This even had functioning shelves and a coaster-like ice slide

TPRUKaddon2140.jpg.77be27e08d4b3c377e48692be8d0352b.jpg

This is why its called an ice bar, its made of ice. Good thing for those jackets!

TPRUKaddon2136.jpg.ce5680964843f86a8b935d6d2e0f7ca4.jpg

Even Robb had to check it out, complete with Liseberg winter jacket

TPRUKaddon2149.jpg.c64e8a6f0574fa2e518c5672c2e36747.jpg

Liseberg also had an Ice bar opened for the summer, awesome!

TPRUKaddon2019.jpg.e765ad6962e8d87fd6866cce95d6ceb0.jpg

And I got some Balder to take home too!

TPRUKaddon2012.jpg.5f82d8bee3e8e0bbae962f17475bec24.jpg

I woke up excited to ride Balder. I didn't know I'd have to drink FREE beer inside of Balder before being allowed to ride! Carlsberg Export, hello!

Me and Stone Porter.

 

Today is the day. When BevMo gets it's shipment of stuff in. And I hope, I just hope there will be bottles of the 06.06.06 Vertical Epic in today's shipment.

Cold sushi in the morning is actually really good.

Sushi rocks! I could so eat some right now! But here's what I ended up doing today, with some down time in London.

bberkuk009.jpg.105d158910402af680648ba88bd0d972.jpg

Miss you, baby!

bberkuk008.jpg.005737c40cfce7d98291bb75db0de8b7.jpg

Since I'm running out of room in my luggage, and Nicole is gone ='(, I guess I'll drink her Bacardi

bberkuk007.jpg.e08c0469e69b89cbac02f66a511a1502.jpg

But hey, you do what you gotta for Pride

bberkuk006.jpg.a930835bbca841b7d383b7636a86d93c.jpg

At the hotel, I realized my belt buckle bottle opener was left in my other luggage in storage. I had to resort to this

bberkuk003.jpg.35724c85c8983ba21515aecfe33b8288.jpg

Now this is a good early lunch!

bberkuk002.jpg.7951ee09f47e8e8f9a0520e48f8556d1.jpg

I love how the pubs here serve all the stuff in the authentic glasses

bberkuk001.jpg.7f564d46b18d8e097d7b718ba245811c.jpg

I believe I'll have a London Pride, hand pumped

bberkuk004.jpg.d9ba5c6125e1b984733d0559e8174527.jpg

11am, lets hit the pub!
