My god, is it possible that AVDP will actually be the (how do I phrase this) LEAST suffering day of the ToS for me so far??? Can that TSS be right? I’m not buying it, but after the way The Model took me to the woodshed, I’ll take it.
Regardless, A Very Dark Place deserves A Very Dark Beer, so I’ll be recovering with an old friend, Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel.
AVDP also applies to my support for (and dealing with) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, like many combat veterans. So in addition to Team DPF, I will be (again) making a donation for every mile I cover on Stage 5 to TextVet, and their Pedal Against PTSD program, to help ensure there’s always someone to talk to on a dark day.
See you at the Nine Hammers Tavern. Onward and upward!
In honor of today’s stage, I went with the absolutely delicious Porter from Port City Brewery in nearby Alexandria, VA. They have a number of fantastic offerings, to be honest. Cheers!!
I had to double up Model and AVDP. After that, there was only one possible beer in my collection to pick. The Sun Doesn’t Rise At All from Kettlehead Brewing. Delicious, very highly recommended.
Nothing fancy for my TBTITW survival prize, but with St. Patrick’s Day coming up in a couple weeks, I couldn’t close out ToS 2022 without an Irish Red Ale. This year’s entry is Ireland Forever Irish Red Ale, from the Berkshire Brewing Company, with proceeds to the Holyoke St. Patrick’s Parade and charitable foundation.
