OK, let's try beer talk to liven things up a bit.  Gotta get the kids early from daycare today, may take 'em on a field trip to the Ballast Point brewery - Victory at Sea available for growler fills.
Sounds perfect, kids love the brewery experience. Needless to say I'm jealous of the VaS growler

Drank the growler of Bourbon Barrel Aged Arrogant Bastaed Ale (Stone) yesterday... awesome beer.  A shame that that one's not available in bottles.  Maybe I'll take them to the Stone Brewery for lunch after our field trip.
Kids gonna be livin' it up today!

Wishful thinking, I'm afraid.  I'll just pick 'em up, feed them corn dogs, and put them down for their naps.

Sounds good to me.

Don't think I had anything new-to-me over the weekend but I made my first 'revisit' to the Nirvana by DE or Royal Gold or whoever wants to take credit for it.  Nice enough cigar but I don't get any of that cinnamon type flavor I sometimes associate with cameroon wrappers.  The Nirvana is smooth and creamy and all that, but I've found both that I've smoked to be a tad boring.
And definitely pricey for what you get.

Also - a real small restaurant/brewery chain just opened up a new location a mile or two up the road... Urbn Street Brewing Co.  Lots of stuff on tap including 6-8 of their own beers, menu of various coal fired pizzas.  Went there for lunch on July 4th.  Good pizza and I really liked their Urbn Brown Ale... chocolate/graham cracker.  Somewhat light ABV (5.5%, I think?) but very drinkable, especially at lunch time.
You never took me on field trips like that when I was out there.

Indeed.  Afternoon, Dave.  Won't be repurchasing the Nirvana but glad I tried it.  Got three left, so maybe I'll bury one for a year or so just in case it somehow changes for the better over that time.  I do like the Fuente Hemingways more with each passing year of rest, so who knows.  Of course, I'd rather just spend less on the Hemingways in the first place.

Did you just get another Little Monsters or did you just break that out for the photo op?
