This is a bottle I've been sitting on for two years, waiting for the perfect time to break into it. Tomorrow's the last day of my vacation and I don't have any more PTO in sight (we might have a snow day this week if the weather reports are right, but I've learned to not hold my breath). As such, and especially now that we're just beyond the two year anniversary of the beer, I'm deeming the time perfect enough. Let's say goodbye to my vacation in style.

The beer is Paradise's Off Kilter. I had three bottles of it initially. I took one down to Texas with me a week after it released and split it with a buddy. After today, I'll have one left. Who knows how long that'll last in my cellar before the time is perfect enough to break into it again?

This post is a bittersweet one; it's the final John Likes Beer entry that will be written in my current apartment. Hell, it'll be the last John Likes Beer entry from the City of Cincinnati. Michelle and I are sprinting toward the closing date on our house. Next time you come around these parts, you'll have a whole new venue to be seen through the few pictures that accompany each post. (Please note that I'm taking a break from packing all of my miscellanea to type this up. That's how close we are to vacating our current living situation.)


What's the beer with which I'm opting to close out this chapter of John Likes Beer? Easy. 21st Amendment's Tales from the Kettle 2017. Truth be told, I'd meant to make this post last month when the beer was still pretty widely available. But, better late than never, right? And, according to this online beer locator, there are still cans of it to be had out in the wild!
