Last nights drink was Mad River Brewing's Jamaica Sunset West Indies Pale Ale. Don't judge this beer by the 5th grader level artwork on the bottle. It's better than that.

And for all you hop head fanatics out there, today is the beginning of the Luplin Land Harvest Hopcoming at Rich O's Public House/New Albanian Brewing Company in New Albany, Indiana, which happens to be one of the best damn beer bars in America.

Not drinking anything yet, but later today, on the menu is Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner.

In this day and age, when kids seem to play outside less every year and tearing children away from their screens (TV, computer, video game, etc) seems to get harder all the time, it's good to know that the following equation can still hold true.

3 kids + 1 dad willing to act a little silly + 1 water hose = hours of good family fun

Tonight, I'm drinking Duvel. It was a very good night.
