It's time to celebrate!
Chris Mac came back from wherever he was off climbing and found his website contaminated with poison, and decided to clean house.
The contamination was spread by a very few as#@&%es, losers with no lives, whose only satisfaction was to scream at a few other losers whose only difference from themselves was in choosing who -- Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump -- was an even bigger as#@&%e than they were.
So yes, let's celebrate! With threads about climbing, beer, boobs, food, photos... anything other than three as#@&%es on one team screaming at three as#@&%es on the other team.
So, here's a toast. A dark and dank toast. A toast that reminds me of when Grandpa decided enough years had passed to drain the crankcase on the old tractor...

Back in Squamish after a year's absence. Wonder of wonders, on a beautiful holiday weekend, we had the entire base of the Grand Wall almost to ourselves. Mari dragged me up some good stuff, and then we watched the kite-boarders for a while and then...
Time for a beer.
We'd heard there were a couple of new breweries in town, and managed to find one of them. We didn't want to get wasted (lots of beer in the fridge at home), but based on the two beers we sampled, Backcountry Brewing is as good as anything, anywhere. And about ten times better than what is on offer at Howe Sound Brewing.
Of course, we wound up in the back end with one of the owners, and that's the only picture I have, but if you are ever up in Squampton, and feeling thirsty, after a day on the rock (or on the water) this is the place to go.
We'd picked up food to take home to cook, so didn't eat there, but the menu looked really good.

Nice addition to a world class climbing area where Duffy's was the best thing on tap for a long time.
Had a Double Dry Hopped Pussy Wagon this evening that was exquisite. A friend was drinking in Portland and brought back a crowler of this fine and rather hard to get offering from Brash Brewing in Texas. Followed it up with a truly unique Lost Abbey Madonna and Child ale aged in tequila barrels and a shot of Clase Axul. Still rolling...

Found this gem in a TESCO (think Safeway) in Caernarfon, Wales, although it is from Scotland. Really good!
Had a fabulous live beer called 'Gem' hand pumped in The Crown in Bathford, Olde Blighty. It is made a few miles away in Bath proper. Pretty surprised to see this lamp in said pub.

Did I kill this thread?
Sent The Wife beer shopping with explicit instructions which, of course, were ignored. OK, not exactly ignored, the ‘sommelier’ said they were out of my expressed desires, so to speak. Anyway, he suggested this. I might go give him a hug! It’s from Seattle, of all places!

Dragon's Tooth, just was askin' after that!
Now thats funny its $18.99 a 4-pack ' here at "wholepaycheck, before tax & deposit (warm) .
I gnow if you have to ask. . .
but for my choice of inebriation, When its cold n' snowy so A stout is called for, I find it hard to pay more than $3 a beer.
An Amazing thing to me is the number of breweries. I like this local one The "Express way"(driver's window) is a Coffee stout, good not the best, Seems full bodied enough.
