May as well add the drinks menu:
$8 Riesling from ALDI, using a bottle stopper inherited from my in-laws:
Where they got it, idk, because they’d never been to Frankfurt.

Old-(ish) woman sitting in the yard, making love to her tonic and gin!
After some hiatus, back on the beer:
I like how the color is almost metallic. Very pretty.
It didn’t pour all that hazy at first, so I rolled around the last tablespoon or so of beer in the can and poured that…much better:
I’d say this is an excellent example of an American brewer’s take on a German classic, in that it has the standard banana and clove aroma that marks any good hefe, but it trades the usual sweetness for just a bit of a hoppy crispness - not a lot, but enough to notice.

Frozen strawberry and basil margarita. They work fantastic.
Out of focus so you can see the tap, Braxton’s LaRosa’s Lager (local brew for a local chain):

Another, fantastic new drink. Peaches, mint, and honey muddled, shaken, and strained.
It’s hot here today, very bright out, so this dry cider seemed appropriate.
Very nice, very crisp, a lot of the apple flavor is absent, which is a plus for me, especially on a hot, hot day. This would be a good sub for champagne, actually.

Last-day-of-vacation Manhattan.
I see the bubbles in the cider and am already bracing for impact
