It’s all in the wrist.

.

Well, not really… but it seemed like a better title than ‘Glass Full of Foam’.

.

.

Yes, we let the keg sit still overnight. And yes, we had the kegerator set to the proper temperature… but we were still getting full glasses of foam. The only thing left to do was adjust the CO2 flow, you know…. the thing I kept telling my husband we had to do even though he said we absolutely positively didn’t have to.

So I did what any self respecting beer drinker would do…. I sent him to the house on an errand, then made the adjustment myself.

Viola!

The perfect glass of beer. ( And yes, the placement of my “At Last” prohibition glass from the FDR museum in Hyde Park was most definitely on purpose )

Did you know fruit flies are attracted to beer taps? I didn’t either, but who can blame them.

.

The solution? Plug the tap when not in use. And if you want to put your womanly mark on the man cave? Do it with a pink wine bottle stopper.

.

.

That way it will match the pink bell and pink cocktail napkins already on the bar.

🤣

Next up was the shorty tap handle I ordered from Allagash.

I’ve been told I can pick something for myself for the second keg. Hmm…

My favorite amber ale? That luscious chocolate cherry sour? Or maybe a nice hard cider?

Decisions, decisions.

If you’re ever in New Hampshire..

.

I highly recommend you visit the Tamworth Distillery.

The husband and I discovered it a few years ago and were instantly hooked.

.

.

It’s a lovely place where they grow herbs and wildflowers…

.

.

And has a fabulous tasting room, cafe, bakery and apothecary type gift shop.

.

.

But what I really go there for?

.

.

The infused gin. Like this bottle of plum the husband brought back for me when he was in the area last week.

.

.

It’s fabulous…. though not exactly cheap.

.

.

While I usually have it with just tonic, yesterday I was in the mood for a proper Tom Collins. The plum turned it pink… and I admit I was tickled the very same color.
