Winter Bitch 'N Moan Sesh, notes from the Rogue.

Wind chilled Assateague coastline, early February evening. OC inlet.













   Hate the cold nights. Fu#king daytime temps fluctuating up and down. Sunlight every third day. Stiff. Sore. Haven't felt 100% in who knows how long. Cold rain. Sometimes sleet. No snow, but icy mornings. Damn water's in the upper 30's for $hit's sake. The other evening when I met a friend for dinner in Ocean City; the wind chill was in the teens.  Lemme tell ya, an off-shore wind chill off that cold-ass ocean ain't not joke.  I'll say it again...wind kills. This winter can't get over soon enough. Yeah, I'm bitchin'.
  Snow Roller, some dude who surfs the cold spreading a blanket of the ice dust across the countryside. F'k him too. However, Magic Hat's cold seasonal somewhat helps with the blah blahs being dealt with across my shore. Satisfying hoppy Brown Ale. Pours a light cloudy reddish brown with a khaki head. More caramel than chocolate in the whole biscuity-malt core. But the hops make this for me. Good 'ole piney, grapefruity, hop-bitter finish.  That's what gives it a B rating.

"There's beauty and lots of carefree pleasure
in beer. But, it will  absolutely slap your ass
down if you don't approach it with the right
attitude."                        -Justin Housman
