Oh, so at the Stone tour one of my friends pointed out that a post it note on a rack of aging barrels said "Something Belgian" and so I was looking for the note he was talking about. During this moment in time the tour guide was apparently asking if anyone on the tour was a home brewer. My other friend pointed to me and another friend nudged me so I looked up and the guide went "Great, you earned a free beer at the end and you weren't even paying attention!"

Currently on our yearly brewery road trip though this time we set aside 3 days in Bend for more Deschutes time. Last night I had a sampler that was all different IPAs and then got a growler of one called Horse Ridge IPA which literally blew my face off. I have no face.

This one kind of sums up the nature of my SoCal trip

The ones from inside the brewery came out too blurry, I blame the low lighting

Tonight's burgers recipe.
I forgot to get the mustard at the store, and I'm not a big fan of onions so I omitted them this time. I'll let you know how they turn out! Going to top with Provolone cheese, bacon, and some BBQ sauce too

•1/4 Cup Guinness draught beer
•2 Tsp Dry mustard (use English mustard for a nice kick)
•1/4 Tsp Ground ginger
•2 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
•1 Tsp salt
•1/2 Tsp Ground black pepper
•2 Tbsp Butter
•1/4 Cup Spring onions, finely chopped
