Today was a beach day here with a mini heatwave..

There were loads of dogs and people in the water. Here we have two different types, the swimmer and the just sit in the water dog!

Loch Lomond Beer!

By the time we walked home I was just going to have what was in the fridge, and not go out and buy anymore beers...

Bravehop IPA

I opened the IPA while I was cooking and it helped build my appetite!

Cheers to the cook!

All gone, new drink please...

BIPA

The B in BIPA is Black. And as you can see the drink is indeed dark and black!

They are both 6% ABV and the BIPA foamed up quite nicely, with the bubbles settling quickish.

All settled

Not quite a pint, but a good looking pint nevertheless!

Macaroni anyone

This was dinner, I was brought up that macaroni was the elbow sort of pasta, but this is straight macaroni!

Time to Hive!

Loch Lomond Blurb

Loch Lomond Brewery, based near Dumbarton, Scotland, crafts award-winning beers inspired by its namesake. They produce various IPAs, known for their bold, hoppy flavours, like "Bravehop." They also brew BIPAs (Black IPAs), such as "Bravehop Dark," which blend IPA hop character with roasted malt notes for a rich, dark finish.

Thank you my gemini for providing that Loch Lomond Brewery Blurb!

My Choice

I have to confess the dark and Black wins the day. It has that coffee taste in there and it just takes it up a notch. I have had them before but only drunk them individually and not mixed them like I did today!

Cheers to the cook! My ideal retirement, I've told my family and friends, is to be on a beach, snap my fingers and have them bring me another new beer when I've finished the last one. hahaha. Mesonero, a beer, please! And I raise my hand for the waiter to see me. hahaha. Good thing I won the stout, Ed!!!! It looks delicious. Saturday Hugs 🫂🍻

That’s a couple of beers I would pick up to discover and share for #beersaturday. I must admit I love ipa, and malty beers, but I have never met a dark or black ipa I thought was any good.

I am just sitting down for dinner after brewing a cream ale and taking our latest neipa from the fermenter as well as a sweet Irish stout and a rhubarb peach session ipa.

Love #beersaturday!

I like IPAs and malty beers too, but have to admit that is the only black ipa I have had.

I love rhubarb so that rhubarb peach session ipa of yours sounds very interesting!

Cheers! 🍻
BIPA - Black IPA. Cool :)
The dish you prepared looks delicious, too.

The dish was tasty, and the BIPA was the first and only one I have had, and I like it!

This testament has big impact to me when it comes to taste, appearance and most especially in flavors. There's reason to come by or take a little sip that stroke to your veins and give a kicks on it. The aroma and taste encourage to explore too like in being talky such in gatherings, events and make an joyful memories. Though it has artistry on it that experimenting with herbs, fruits and others too. It suprises me and satisfy what you shared here so applause to that. We discover to appreciate more as well so keep us posted please. AJA!

Hello @apring00 or Pril and welcome to Hive, and I going to tag @antonette as I think she onboarded you to Hive. I believe everyone deserves a second chance but I know other people on Hive are not so forgiving. In your intro post you say that you understand AI is prohibited and you understand the importance of engagement.
Well making an AI generated comment and then copying that same comment to more than one post is just downright lazy and morally wrong.
I suggest you actually read posts that you engage on. If you are going to leave a comment, then leave a comment that shows you read the post, why not ask a question in the comment?
Doing what you are doing will result in your being blacklisted, you will get downvotes, and you receive nothing. I am sure that this is not something that you want.

Hmm, @tengolotodo, I use three AI checker tools, and all of them say it's a human-written text... maybe that's something new now? 🤔

Sorry about this @tengolotodo and thank you for letting me know so that I am aware of my newbie onboards mistake.I will contact her directly about this matter as I do not allow this.She is newbie and I think only attend once in our Hive orientation and not sure if she read the rules I've sent to them...Tnx for the mention so I can fix their mistakes..Have a nice day :)
