"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

peak flight

At the Modern Times brewery in San Diego - on Saturday 18 August (day after the Stone festival) - I ran into or constructed what I'm pretty sure is the finest beer flight I've ever had.  Perfect composition:  small servings of intense, complementary styles of which ordinarily I'd be reluctant to order a full pint.  Exactly what I'm looking for in tasters!

Not only that, don't they look rather amazing?



L-R:
--"Sea of Tranquility" (Fruited Super Berliner) (Special Release) 6.5% ABV
--"Nectarnomicon" (Raspberry & Guava) 3.6% ABV
--"Factory Cathedral" (Super Gose) 8.5%
--"Suggestion of Mass" (Imperial Stout) 11.3%
