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.

Welcome to the world, newest Lug Brother. This is Kota. As I write he is sleeping peacefully. During the day when he sleeps he stretches his arms up in the air and makes the most charming funny faces you can imagine. But now he's just quietly breathing in and out and in and out and the music-box-Enya is playing softly in the background and it's the weekend and we're a family of three and his mom is catching forty winks and now that I think about it I'm sitting down and doing something not directly baby related for the first time since he came home on Tuesday but now I look up and see those skinny newbaby arms reaching up in the air for a big stretch and I'm happy to put the computer down on the ground and pick him up in my arms and just sit with him and share a little bit of that peace.
