Beer Time

It has been quite awhile since there has been a beer review posted. So for good measure here are two.

The first is Unibrue 15, an anniversary strong ale from those Belgian loving French-Canadian brewers. This is a beer that I got for Christmas several years ago and have let it age, as it is an ale-on-lees, which means it gies through a secondary fermentation in the bottle. It was a very smooth, potent swill after 5 years of sitting. It was a nice golden color with not a lot of corbonation left Dad and I share it after Sam birthday.



The other one is Furry from North Peak brewing in Traverse City. This is a brother brewery to the Jolly Pumpkin brewery. I have yet to have a bad beer from them. Just wish you could buy it in Indiana. Furry is a black Indua Pale Ale, which is kind of oxymoronic in beer terms. But oh well, it tastes great. It has a big citrusy smell that hits you first, but surprisingly it is not overly loaded with hops, very well balanced.

Sam's B-day

We all had a great time at Sam's second birthday. His Mom made a cool cake and great dinner. Lots of family was there along with friends. Thanks to everyone who came.

Icy Ride

Today was a wonderfully sunny, but cold day and I had finally reached the point that i just could not stand riding trainer anymore, so regardless of the cold temps I went out for a ride. I rode through the old ammo plant on roads that were slushy. It was my first ride with the new wheelset for my single speed. By the end of the ride, there was icy road grime all over my bike.

More Dogsledding

Sam had more fun being pulled around the field today by the dogs. He also loved going sledding at the old school.

New Years Day Ride

It has been quite a while since we had a ride post on the blog. Yesterday I went out for a ride during John and Sandy's party on roads that I haven't ridden in a few years. It was nice to be outside as we haven't had great riding weather lately. We had rain the night and day before New Years, so all the little streams were overflowing.
