The Russkies save the day!
 

Today, I started my fence painting project. Prob a 4 day effort to get it done.
It's on three sides of my 1.25 acre lawn.

Before I started....I stopped at a local store for refreshments for the project and spotted this beer...A Russian Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels. $16 for a 4-pack.

It's 13.4% ABV and it pours like black ink. Wow...is it good!
The fence painting is now a 6 day project. :) (or more)

Sounds great but 2 of them would knock me silly.:D

^^^ I only had one....and then the paint brush got real slippery!

I hate when that happens.:D:D

Shoulda called me! I have a Wagner power sprayer. I would have only charged an 8 pack.

Yer not supposed to dip yer paint brush in it are ya? I probably would after one sip tho' :D

Oddly enough...last winter, I bought a Zoom electric paint sprayer from Amazon for this job.

When it came time to do it...and the weather was perfect, I just grabbed the paint brush.
I enjoy jobs like this...esp in great weather like today.

I also saw a 4-pack of Bell's Kentucky Mule at the store...$26

The fence is white....hopefully, when I'm done.:)

The sprayer lets you get more drinking done!

^^^Yeah...but I'm cheap...(german and dutch) I like the paint to hit the boards.
Every dollar saved is a dollar more for beer!

But time is money!

Drink four of 'em and you'll never notice.... or care!

Here is the section that I did today...about 4 hours worth. I have about 5 more of these sections left to paint. Twelve foot sections...post to post.

Notice our drought...the grass is suffering.

We just got a few timely rains that really greened the yard up. Only problem? The weeds woke up too! Now I gotta spray.

Crabgrass and Clover thrive in a drought here.

Too hard on the grass for me to spray now. Later with more rains and I'll do it.

Those Russians know/knew a thing or two. Some of my best friends are Russian imperial stouts.
What your describe sounds really nice.

I wish Maxim was around to give his two rubles.

If you like that brew, be sure to check out Dragon's Milk bourbon barrel-aged stout from New Holland Brewing. 11% ABV and extremely smooth. There is also a "Reserve" version that adds a hint of vanilla by using real vanilla beans.

Despite the awful name, "TenFidy" comes in bourbon barrel aged, and not bourbon barrel aged. The "regular" is good, but the bourbon barrel aged is even better.

And if you ever see or find any "Eclipse", get it!

The different color tops are aged in different kinds of barrels. Around here for the past couple of years, I've been able to get stuff from 2017.

^^^ Plenty there to look for!
There is a huge beer store a half hour from me...they might have it.


Dragon's Milk is more common here...the brewery is an hour away. I'll try it.
