Breakfast was a bowl of cold cereal, a glass of orange juice, and a cup of coffee. I weighed 157 pounds.
I did the 4⅜ mile town loop over lunch. Along the way I stopped at the IST building and grabbed a Penn State Creamery low-fat strawberry yogurt.
Dinner was a salad with three slices of garlic bread a Saranac Pale Ale and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Cold cereal makes it all seem quite depressing -down with modifiers! How do you like the SN Pale Ale? I’ve got it on good account it’s the inspiration half way across the globe with our Little Creatures Pale Ale here in Perth – a good thing too if a little on the flowery side.
It is cold as opposed to hot. Could be depressing, but really just descriptive. Cold can be a good thing when it is hot outside. As far as the Sierra Nevada is concerned, we love it. It is a little more pricey than the Saranac — a semi-local microbrew. Gretchen and I are both hop heads, so we appreciate the pointer about Little Creatures. We will be sure to keep an eye out for it if we ever get down that way. In reality though, the scuttlebutt is that Sierra is actually a Steam Beer — top fermented using bottom fermenting yeasts and temperatures (or vice-versa, it has been a long time since I did any brewing myself) — but the Anchor Brewing Company trademarked the phrase “Steam Beer” in the US and so they had to call it something else, so they went with Pale Ale, which is close, but not really accurate.
