International Beer Day

We really like ephemerides because besides the astronomical ones that are important, all of the other help us not to forget about lots of different important celebrations like artistic uses of pumpkins, the 1st of January, atomic bombs, 4/20 and today the Enrico Caruso and Fritz Lang day of death.

The most useless one is the International Beer Day. Every first Friday of August people try to celebrate something that should be celebrated every day, just like Christmas. 

The problem is that we've been so absent we can't avoid not to surf the buzz and have a few beers to make this post. 

Yesterday was supposed to be the IPA day. Today (or yesterday) is the international beer day, so we had some of our favorites home recipes yesterday (August 1st) and the Lagunitas Maximus today. Maximus is a sweet delicious double IPA that makes everybody happy. Sometimes too happy at 8.2%. The hops used also combine very well with the malt. It's not a Hopstoopid, one of our favorites, but is a real beer that doesn't mumble or ask permission. Thank you Lagunitas. 

We promise as soon as our beer recipes start coming our good enough to share, we will post those drinking alchemic secrets just like we did with the eating ones. In the meanwhile enjoy the diversity of beer that is finally happening, again and again.  

Cheers!
