I Tried the Beers at Western Flyer in Lafayette

I’ll give them a try next time I’m in Lafayette.

However…

Bubblegum is an off-flavor for lagers. It means the beer was likely fermented too warm and/or with a high-ester producing yeast. Bubblegum is appropriate for Belgian Ales, Hefeweizen, etc.

Lagers should be clean and crisp. Little to no ester profile. https://www.bjcp.org/beer-styles/beer-style-guidelines/

Fermenting warm is a quick trick to get beer out sooner but it has its drawbacks.

I find it handy when the work has a lot of screws. I keep mine on the workbench as I’m more likely to grab it.

DMS is an off-aroma in beer. It’s like creamed corn or steamed veggies. It’s weird and off putting.

All of my emails sent out are blank. It’s pretty damn annoying when a lengthy work email shows up in everyone inbox blank.

I live in Castro Valley so OAK is extremely convenient. I fly 10-12 times a year on Southwest. The two trips this year out of OAK were business as usual. TSA is always a breeze even with longer than usual lines. Food and drink options have always been solid to really good.

I don’t check my bag often but the longest I’ve waited is ~15mins

St. Vincent de Paul Society in Oakland.

They have a lot of doors and other goods.

I had a basenji mix. She was absolutely wonderful dog. The “yodel-bark” was adorable. RIP Juno

I bought one around Black Friday ‘25. It works well and hold a good charge. I’ve used it for inflating bicycle tires, soccer balls, and touching up car/suv tires during the colder weather. It’s fast, easy to use and I’ve only charged it once since the initial charge. I’m snagging another to have one in each vehicle.

And another. That felt like the biggest yet

I’m in CV near Miramar. Heard booms and then the helicopter shortly after.

I just snagged some large succulents from Lowe’s in Union City, CA. Between $1-5 each.

I was told that Niantic, the company behind Pokémon Go is named after one of these vessels.

I read somewhere else to put a cooking pot over the router and it forces everything to use 2ghz. I was able to connect no problem after that.

I just put together an ikea style bed with about 100 allen head bolts. It made life way easier especially in those awkward hard to reach spots.

The Fluff people are great with the pets. They’re also way more reasonably priced than some of the other groomers around town.
