Snow Day, from the Rogue's notebook.

Morning breakfast...order up: Sand covered in snow with Glacial salted. OCMD 2/2/2019           -Mickles photo

   Not much of nuttin' goin' on. Certainly no surfing. Water's in the upper 30s. Waves, of course. Always waves this time of year. Not always clean, but not the flatties of summer. Monotony of work. At the job, and at home. Winter maintenance always has an unfinished checklist. Gym included. Struggle to sustain a consistent workout program. Got our 2nd snow day last Friday. Really started comin' down at the close of work hours. Figures. Good reason to skip the gym and grab a beer.
Snow drop-in, 2/1/2019.

   Main street, Eastern Sho'. Cambridge, MD. Home of RAR Brewing. Made a trip up to the location while antiquin' in the area. Bare Knuckle Sour IPA, one of their newer winter seasonal offerings. A taproom purchase exclusive. Poured a golden amber with a less than finger white bubbly head. Very prevalent fruit aromas. Like a tropical fruit bowl. Lactose funked up passion fruit and grapefruit. Tastes of more grapefruity citrus, some of the advertised guava, and light malt. The hoppy bitterness blended well with the sour finish. 6.8% ABV. IBUs estimated in the 60 range. Rated an A-.
"There is a bright line between drinking
beer, which I gladly do, and which I
fully embrace, and sexually assaulting
someone, which is a violent crime. If 
every American who drinks beer or every
American who drank beer in high school
is suddenly presumed guilty of sexual
assault, it will be an ugly, new place in
this country."             -Brett Kavanaugh
