Today is the first day of real Autumn temperatures at my house. My outdoor thermometer is sheltered and always seems to read a little high. This morning it read 40F (4.5C). The house dropped down to 64F (18C).So I spent this morning getting the house ready for winter. Mainly this means covering the evaporative cooler and making sure the boiler still works.
After all that work, I decided to crack open something refreshing: Sierra Nevada's Southern Hemisphere Harvest 2012.
This beer uses only freash hops from New Zealand: Pacific Hallertau, Motueka and Southern Cross.
I had it with some left over spinach, chicken, & parmesan pizza from last night. Mmmm... nothing better than spinach pizza.
