Day 5: American Solera’s Amber Canyon Magic. We are not sour fans generally so not a hit at our house. #ALXBeercember

Day 4: Space Cowboy from Oxbow Brewing. Belgian farmhouse style; thoroughly okay, per my beer snob husband. #ALXBeercember

Day 3: Juice Lord hazy IPA by Magnanimous Brewing, Tampa, FL, in a Hops of Wrath pint glass from Dustbowl Brewing, Turlock, CA. We were lucky enough to hang out at their Monterey tap room back in ‘23. #ALXBeercember

I didn’t have to read the explanation when I saw the raku exhibit at the Freer Gallery, thanks to the Great Pottery Throw down

Artists! Quote with your yellow art!
I don’t use yellow much, but here’s a bit.

Prepping for a wedding in the hotel courtyard. They’ve started putting battery-operated votive candles in the hanging jars along with colored water

Here’s Panchita, the baby llama, to cheer you up
