Tuesday Is A Great Night For Beer Drinking

Pliny The Elder IPA
Pliny The Elder from Russian River is pure Tuesday Night perfection.

Dear lord that Pliny went down super easy. Is it because it’s well fucking made? Well, okay, yeah.

But it is also because it is Tuesday night. The best night for a beer geek to drink.

It is quiet. Not a lot going on.

The Monday “back to the grind” has passed. It is too early to start gearing up for the weekend. Nobody has made plans for you to do a thing.

It is the perfect space to knock a few beers back, reflect on some things. Maybe watch some live shows on YouTube:

Simply, it is a nice evening with your beers. For fellow beer drinkers everywhere: thank you, Tuesday night.

Stone Enjoy By 04.20.22 Hazy IPA

The 2022 version of Stone’s 4/20 Enjoy By IPA

Stone has many different kinds of Enjoy By beers, but the “4/20” is the flagship of the line.

ABV: 9% | Hops: They are not saying | 12oz cans

Bought At: Madera Ranchos Market. $12 for the six-pack.

Was it any good this year? Well, yes.

Session: Drank two during game two of Phoenix Suns playoff game against New Orleans. Drank a third after the Suns lost.

Did I catch a buzz? Not really. I may have paced them out too far apart.

I didn’t mean to but it turns out I had it during its final hours of freshness:

Stone Brewing’s “Enjoy By” clock

Still , even in its final moments, it tasted fresh enough – but I guess that’s the purpose of the whole Enjoy By line of beers, ain’t it?

Oh and, I like the can art this year – I am built in to like it as it’s an old Oakland A’s color scheme, but still cool.

It says it’s a hazy IPA but in this modern era of hazy beer, I get no hazy thoughts about this beer. It’s more like an old-school WCIPA.

Albeit a little bit on the sweet and malty side, I am giving this year’s Enjoy By 4/20 a thumbs up. I’ll try to remember it for a more accurate comparison when next year’s comes around.
