Bad news on my front. My older brother passed away about a month ago. He was in Eugene, OR. Because of wildfires and schedule and my sick parents I couldn’t get up here until last Thursday. I did Portland, Eugene, Bandon Dunes, and am now in San Francisco meeting with my friends and his friends while driving his stuff back to my parents in AZ. I’ve had amazing experiences and shared a great deal of beers and stories. My brother started his PHD at UVA but finished at Portland State. He worked in Albemarle and then Fluvanna (FLUCOS still a favorite mascot/brand). He lived in C-Ville for 5 years, I think he’s a Hoo. This time and times like this make you realize what you want/need. Family, friends, memories, and some good beer or spirits. My favorites this trip have been Phriem IPA, an super mellow NW stlye IPA with not too much alcohol, Breakside IPA, a NW style IPA out of Portland, and I had some Pliney DIPA on draft. Mixed up with some Pilsners and Oktoberfest beers, I realized that I like NW style IPAs. I’ve been drinking the NE ones a lot, but I think I found my ā€œcomfortā€ beer. Cheers.

@HooRick Sorry to hear about your brother… but I’m glad you got to celebrate his life through a road trip and beer!

@HooRick Sorry for your loss, but absolutely love the story of your travels and your journey. You brother counts as a Hoo to me (Although I can’t back the Flucos). It sounds like you honored him well with good food, good drink and good people.

This double ipa from Berkeley is amazing. I was gifted it on my drive back to Tucson. One of the best I’ve ever had. Not NE comfort beer but a really fantastic hazy

Another thing I think is super cool nowadays is the artwork on cans or bottles. Really creative stuff!

It was a rough day for UVA football and fans. Opened up a Belgian style from San Diego while I contemplate that game and watch a different football game to get that out of my head. That was like night and day from last week.
