pellmell is that at Altamont Brewing in Livermore, CA?

Yes!

SVonhof

pellmell Hella Hoppy was one of my favorites when we lived there. My work location is a mile from there. I love many of their IPA's and that they have a saying: Keep beer clear.

Altamont has excellent beer. The Lucky grocery store in Pleasanton has a full bar called the Drinkery which has 16 beers on tap including Hella Hoppy and Maui Waui. All pints are $6 and only $5 at happy hour 😋

Had the last of this bottle last night. Got it at Costco. Strange stuff. Sort of like Scottish Whiskey, but also like bourbon. I've never tried Japanese whiskey before and may not again lol. Cannot drink it neat as the alcohol is so strong it's nearing turpentine level IMO. With a big ice cube it mellows and you get some good flavors, but too much of a sort of floral taste for me. Probably should have just used it for mixed drinks.

KCee Japanese whiskey

I purchased a good Japanese whisky from Costco over ten years ago, The Yamazaki 12, for $45. Now a bottle sells for $200+. Wish I had purchased more at the time.

A $5 pint of Hella Hoppy (or 2) can get dangerous.
Do you ever go to Dust Bowl's tap room? When they have it, "Dump Truck of the Gods" is an Imperial IPA at over 14%. The brewery is in Turlock.

I've been to the taproom several times but the beer was flat. Lucky grocery has better beer, is closer to me and t has two Dust Bowl beers on tap, The Therapist 10.5% IPA and Peace, Love and Haze. Speaking of dangerous, a few years ago, Lucky was serving pints of 14% Barley Wine.

Try the Hibiki. It's Very Smooth!

pellmell Therapist is solid for sure. Get out to Turlock for lunch sometime (on a really nice afternoon) and try the Dump Truck.
That sucks that the tap room beers were flat. Not a good way to run a tap room, especially in a city with good brewery options.

I was at my parents place for the TV wall install. My mother pours me an 8 oz Soco…. This woman could never work at a bar, they’d go out of business

Typhoon Well, some exercise to go with the sugar

Bravopilot I’ve taken a couple weeks off from the gym and just today hit a few irons since fucking up my right shoulder. I know the rotator cuff was affected and God knows what else but resting it has done wonders. Tomorrow at indoor golf I’ll hit again for awhile but today it was fine.

Had a salad tonite to go with the lemon and the cream filled donuts today too.

Typhoon Nice. Tore my left rotator cuff a few years back, while waiting my turn for surgery, COVID hit. Never had it fixed but mush better now with limits. Now right shoulder is fouled. Ortho said "ruptured" not heard that before. Trying the non-surgical approach again. Getting better but can't lift stuff and can almost raise my arm again over my head. This aging crap is for Geezers.
