Live action shot, cheers!

That's what I was drinking Sunday. Last night, it was Rothaus vom Fass. Tonight I'm having a glass of 2024 Karl Lagler Burgberg Federspiel Grüner Veltiner from Austria.

Here are a few different brews that I tried when I was in Riga, Latvia in May.

Mezpils dark Pilsner. It was quite yummy.





Bauskas Lager. It was ok at best, but not terrible.




Lielvãrdes Pilsner. Quite good.

Usually I drink Dithmarscher Urtyp as my 'regular' beer, comes from a small brewery in the North of Germany, Schleswig-Holstein if I'm not mistaken. Anyhow, the place I generally get it closed down so I went hunting but eventually gave up and came home with a crate of Krombacher. It's not a bad beer, but a little middle-of-the-road. Still have some Guinness and some special beers in the fridge though plus a shelf full of assorted stringer liquor...

I'm lucky to have a local liquor store that keeps a good stock of German and Czech beers. They are what I grew up on, and still prefer them over American micro-brews or factory beers. They usually have a good supply of Veltins, Grävensteiner, Paulaner, Tücher, Krombacher, Weihenstaphan, and Augustiner Bräu. Then they'll also have Pilsner Urquell and Budvar. The majority of their beer selection is in 1/2 liter cans, which is much nicer on my wallet.

My tongue is getting cramps in trying to pronounce some of these European beers y'all are posting about!

So, Firestone Walker Brewing Co is one of many local brewing companies in this part of Crazyfornia. Recently bought a Firestone IPA variety pack at the local Costco in San Luis Obispo. To my surprise, one of the flavors is a West Coast Style IPA called the Ernie Ball Electric Eagle! How's that for Guitars and BEER!!!
