I’m going to try to track down the Redhook Trippel just to confirm my prediction: it’s going to run sweeter than a Belgian trippel should. Just like Widmer and Bridgeport’s recent Belgian attempts. I’d love it if they prove me wrong.
Somehow I have a little less confidence in Redhook than I do in either Bridegeport or Widmer. Would like to give it a whirl though. I still think Bridgeport did a pretty decent job and priced their take really well, one of the best values I’ve seen lately.
Redhook is just one of those that I keep giving a chance but I’m always disappointed. I picked up Widmer’s 84/09 Double Alt, I don’t normally dig Widmer’s regular offerings but when they make special brews, they’re special. Also got a bomber of Sockeye’s Widowmaker and the rest of Sam Adam’s Imp Series. Anxious to check those ones out.
@Monty, thanks for the tip on the Trout Slayer in cans, grabbed some of that for camping this weekend.
My wife and I pulled a dozen engorged ticks from our dog last night after one exploded. Quite disgusting. The house has been crawling with them which we assumed we’d picked up from our jaunts in the foothills and the desert. I learned that he’d gone on a walk last weekend in the wildlife preserve with sheep grazing nearby. Its a real bad year for them.
Damn, that really sucks. I’m no fan of ticks, GA was really bad for ‘em. Not fun to pull out.
Haven’t had to deal with ticks since I lived in Kentucky. I do remember when I lived in Nampa in the 70s (then again in the early 80s) we had sand fleas all over. My daughter and I were covered with the bites, my husband had no issues with them(damn him!) The doc said he got the bites, same as us, but didn’t have the allergic reaction to them.
Another plus for living in Eastern Idaho, where it’s mostly too cold for ticks, fleas, and cockroaches (although the latter are making their move…)
Now bloodsuckers, there’s another kind of vermin that can manifest themselves as female webmasters, and suck all the fun out of a site if you let ‘em.
Oh, wait. Different story, different gripe. Sorry, Sisyphus, good luck with your poor doggie.
Hey, where’d you live at in KY? I was born in Richmond, spent most of my childhood summers there.
I was born in Hardinsburg, lived mostly in Cloverport or Owensboro. My dad’s family was from Printer Holler (almost due east of Richmond, back up in the eastern hills…Paintsville, Allen, etc). I went to a one-room school house in the holler (no paved roads at that time, either).
Pretty country to visit…so what brought YOU to Idaho?
