Beer thread?

Any state where Costco can't sell booze is benighted IMHO!
In the USA Utah is the only backward state in this regard?
Costco alcohol sales by state
Kansas is like Utah, and Pennsylvania and Maryland do not allow Costco to sell alcohol. Several additional states allow beer and wine sales but not hard liquor. There are no Costco stores in Maine or Rhode Island.

I'm not really that expert on Utah alcohol purchases. But Tony is right about going to liquor store for more high powered versions of stuff. I'm pretty easy and usually just buy regular ABV beers from random grocery stores. One local product that is kinda fun for a visit to Utah is Wasatch Brewing Polygamy Porter and it's pretty tasty. One afternoon a couple years ago a Utah buddy gave me a 22oz can of some sort of juicy IPA while we were hanging out on the slopeside Bypass Road at Snowbird. I think it was 8 ABV. One can of beer never hit me so hard/good

I made it to the Sierra foothills Sunday/Monday to help longtime family friends do more cleanup on their late parents' home at 2700' a couple of miles before Foresthill, CA. House is 3500 sq. ft. on 4.4 acres with huge shop and garage with mother-in-law unit. Due to a lawsuit it needs to go on market by end of month. We went to Foresthill for quick dinner before I left on Monday. View of moonrise from market parking lot where we had great burgers, and I bought the beer to bring home.
I've been to Knee Deep Brewing, located near Auburn, CA airport a couple of times. Their Tahoe Deep has higher IBU than I usually like. $12.99 for 4 and very tasty.

Not sure how much I should share, but friends' Dad who passed two years ago at 92 (lived alone and looked much younger) should have stopped driving sooner than he did. He had an accident, someone was injured and got insurance policy limit plus this property if he wants it. Their Mom had passed years earlier. The only good thing to come from accident is my Mom stopped driving not long after our friend's accident.
A few more pictures. From the store, you are overlooking the Middle Fork of the American River and can see snow in the Sierra. Sunset to right.
The only time I'd previously been through Foresthill was on the way to raft the Middle Fork with my son. Not long after the start, you go through Tunnel Chute rated 4+. Just after leaving I-80 on the way to Foresthill, you cross the North Fork of the American River on "the highest bridge by deck height in California, the fourth highest in the United States, and among the seventy highest in the world at 730 feet (220 m) above the river."
Some wood fences around the property had blown down and were not needed due to wire fences. We saved some of the good wood and (legally) burned the rest. This was Sunday before 2:30 PM. We saw truck taillights were getting very warm and fogging so we moved it away.
Next is Monday just before 11 AM. One of the fence panels we burned is in the back of the truck.
This was our biggest fire Monday about 3:30 PM when we burned some plywood and other wood found in 50 x 40' metal roofed parking area.

Unfortunate. Nearly impossible to convince some to put the keys down for a multitude of psychological reasons (loss of autonomy, not being in charge like they have been their whole adulthood, plain ego sometimes, etc...)
