"Little Darling It's Been a Long Cold Lonely Winter"

Any true Beatles fan knows that line comes from the Abbey Road song "Here Comes the Sun". It has been a long and cold six weeks for the area. But, yesterday the temperature got to 50 degrees and today it made 63. Yes it is very welcome after the ice and snow of the last few weeks. Just to give you an idea of how nasty the ice was, I still have about an inch of ice on portions of my driveway and sidewalk even after the sun shone it today.

So to celebrate, I have four split fryers on the Weber Kettle and a nice Lagunitas Maximus IPA in my right hand. (Well, I have had to set it down to type). With warm weather, barbecue cooking on the grill and sipping a great beer...life is good!

A Very Fine Beer

If you're a fan of big beers and a hop head to boot then you need to pour yourself a Lagunitas Brewing Hop Stoopid. It has an IBU of 104 and is 8% ABV. It pours about the color of tea. But, this is certainly no tea.

I was lucky enough to have a 22 ounce bottle of it before dinner last night. It starts out with a bit of a sweet taste of grapefruit and pine but then turns bitter and stays bitter until the finish. Technically this is a Double IPA, but for as big as it is the beer is quite drinkable. Be careful or you may end up getting "stoopid" yourself. This is another great job by Lagunitas which is located in Petaluma, California. A+ Lagunitas!
