backwoods bastard

wow, this is a bourbon barrel aged ale. you totally smell the bourbon but there is very little bite when it hits the mouth. i think you'll miss out on a lot of the character if you try to drink this one from the bottle, so... just get a glass, ok?

final flowers of autumn

ran around the yard, today, capturing color that may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you are looking for color in autumn in minnesota. 

it's fun to find the surprises, like late flowers. some are loud and defiant. some, faded and ready to be done.
