Did a short work day, had several cars in the queue for delivery and a few other odds to deal with. Got home and Mrs D needed to get out for a bit so we decided to get our grocery shopping done, and I wanted to grab a canned NEIPA at Ex Novo so off we went.

Ex Novo also had this "Esse Locum" tequila barrel-aged watermelon gose...wanted a growler but such a small batch that it's on tap only....so we each got a 12oz glass and I'm glad we did....delicious!

After the grocery store it's home and a few minutes to relax before I start getting dinner stuff going....La Cumbre "Obscura" wet-hop hazy IPA...my last can though I'm trying a few places to see if anymore can be had.

I left home at 5am, arrived to my soybean plot in central Ohio 5 hours later. 10 hours of driving, 1 hour for work. Ugh......Home now. Enjoying a mango IPA.

Hey Gene, years back a girlfriend from Iowa said there's no money in soybeans when I suggested it. Have things changed? Enjoy that brew bro.

Zeeland Farm Services is going quite well with beans.....................lets talk corn. Stine seeds seem to be the winner this year in my area. Gene ? True ?

Well, corn rules. But, soybeans make a LOT of money in the industry. Rotation. Corn year 1, soybeans year 2. It's a given in the midwest.

Stine is our major competitor. Ugh........they have a LOT of money. My company is growing. They are the number 1 brand in all of South America. They own 59% of the soybean market That's big.

Those are the towns I stay at in hotels frequently.

Here you go buddy...not cheap, but handmade/blown...I've bought a couple from him and they are wonderful...yes, I've spent over $100 on two beer glasses. I love them but get super paranoid when washing them, or when a cat is nearby...always grabbing hold lest anything bad happen!

what a nice sipper I have here ! Great way to start a Saturday evening. Founders Brewery Bottleshop Series. Highball Drifter. This beer presents a bourbonish caramel and vanilla, dried fruit and spice with hints of cherry and bitter orange peel. Almost an old-fashioned. 11% ABV. This is a tasty fun one !!

The way you describe it sounds delicous. I've never noticed it in the KC area but now I will look for it.

Awesome! I purchased the HAZY IPA glass. Love, love, LOVE it! Can't wait to get it. Sure, expensive, but look like quality. Mine will last forever as we take great care of our glasses.

Carillon Brewing Co. offers visitors a glimpse into 1850s-era Dayton through the authentically prepared food and drink of the times.
It is the nation’s only production brewery in a museum, and the only U.S. brewery replicating the historic brewing process.
Gas copper lamps light the walkway outside Carillon Brewing Co., and beyond the large white oak corridor doors—sash-sawn in period fashion with hand-forged hinges and handles—the smell of charcoal and wood fire fills the air. On a brick furnace 14 feet above a bustling crowd, costumed interpreters draw water from a handmade copper kettle before beginning the process of mashing and lautering.

Nearby, malt is milled by hand; oven-fresh spent grain bread is baked; a volunteer mends his trousers with thread and needle; a growler of ale is filled; and a costumed wait-staff presents German, Irish, and English offerings that pay homage to Dayton’s early settlers.

American Oak barrels line the lower floor of Carillon Brewing Co., each one capped by an artful and educational panel detailing the history and science of brewing. In sourcing city directories, canal records, farmers’ reports, and the like, Carillon Historical Park carefully analyzed the influences of breweries on the city’s evolution during the latter half of the 1800s.
