Beer (again)

[Rooftree]

Bob, Scott. For my craft beers, my go to brewieres are Bell's out of Michigan and Tonewood, my local brewery in Oak;lyn. In addition to Two Hearted, I like Bell's Oberon, a American Wheat Beer. However, it's a season beer. For Tonewood, I switch between Fuego, their IPA (not pictured) and Freshies, their American Pale Ale.

My neighbor, a while back, knowing I like the Two Hearted, gave me a pack, but didn't realize he picked up the wrong package until he got home. He pick up a 4 pack of 16 oz Double Two Hearted, at 11% ABV. I only had one of those for far. Even with that, I shared half of it with my Son.

Got them sedges to drink with the brew, that helps taking off the edges.

All that Bell's talk had me checking out the Bell's aisle at Canal's in Berlin on Thursday when I was stocking up for this weekend.
I grabbed a six of Hazy Hearted, their rendition of a hazy IPA. At 7.5% ABV, it just squeaked into my minimum standards for any beer..
Not bad. Clean tasting, interesting and refreshing for a hazy. I gave it a resounding 3.75 out of 5 on my Untappd.

I guess you don’t have a maximum?

Scott. There's another Bell's IPA avaiable in the area. You can kick it up an notch to 9.5% ABV and pick up a 6-pack of Big Hearted IPA, an imperial IPA. I have not tried it. I'll stick with the Two Hearted.

The sky is the limit Guy! I treat myself to Dogfish Head 120 once in awhile, especially if it’s on tap at Dogfish Head in DE. Ranges from 18-20%, depending on the year. Dreamy, as I once described it.

Mosquitoes Prefer Beer Drinkers, Festival Study Shows

At a music festival, researchers discovered a few things that makes some people more attractive to mosquitoes. Drinking beer topped the list.

"The people who attracted the most mosquitoes were those who drank beer, as well as people who smoked marijuana or shared their bed with others. 'They simply have a taste for the hedonists among us', the researchers wrote"

Well that explains my dilemma!

That article seems to be behind a paywall now, maybe it only lets you read it once? Anyway, here's another one

Want to avoid mosquito bites? Step away from the beer

A Dutch music festival turned into a mosquito lab, revealing how beer, weed, sleep and sunscreen affect your bite appeal.

The first thing that crossed my mind was, you'd have to be either drunk or stoned to put your arm inside a plastic box and watch mosquitoes bite it! Seems like there could be a big liability if somebody gets a mosquito-borne disease (maybe they had to sign something indemnifying the researchers?)

My ex was of Asian descent and always swore that the mosquitoes liked her better. I was never really sure though, because she had very sensitive skin and lots of allergies. So, I wondered if we might be getting the same number of bites but they just didn't affect me as much. One thing for sure... she wasn't drinking more beer or smoking more weed than me!
