Today seemed like a good day for a longer ride, one designed to
push my 
bicycling limits, so I headed out early with Elli on her morning bike commute
to Xenia, and then continued on to Jamestown before turning around and
retracing my steps. Yes, I saw a lot of bike path today. All told, I covered 70.8 miles.

For my reward, I stopped by the Barrel House on the way home to
partake in the beer I had so justly earned. I choose Blank Slate’s Movin’ On,
an American Session Ale that weighs in at 4.2% ABV, not only because I think
Scott LaFollette is awesome, but because he brews interesting, well-made, and
esoteric beers. And we share a love for interesting facial hair. But maybe I
have revealed too much, my dear reader.
Blank Slate describes Movin’ On as an American interpretation
of 
the “English ‘session ales’ used to keep the working man happy all day long.
Lower in alcohol but still flavorful, this beer won’t keep you from being able
to ‘move on’ with your day. Blank Slate’s take on the English Best Bitter style
combines Maris Otter and Brown Malt with American 2-Row Malt. Classic American
hops include Cluster and Cascade up the ante from its traditional namesake and
round out the flavor profile of this American Session Ale.”

And not surprisingly, I had two.
