A Post That Isn't About Golf or Beer

It's been a while, hasn't it? 

I suppose the big news as of late is the James Webb telescope, which has finally stopped being a punchline and is actually out in space, heading toward its final position a million miles from Earth, off at the Earth-Sun Lagrange Point 2. As of January 6, it's deployed its radiator and its secondary mirrors. It won't be fully cooled off until summer, but the deployment process has gone well thus far. And it has to, considering that nothing can go wrong. It's not like Hubble, there's no fixing the mirror if it's misaligned. In that regard, it's probably a good thing they took so long to launch it. Still, I can't imagine anyone on that project has done much sleeping in the past couple weeks. I know I'd be struggling.

Oh, and don't worry, we'll be right back to our regularly scheduled golf and beer programming. 

Beer of the Week

The beer: KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa

Brewed by: Founders Brewing Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan

Description (from the website): "Here’s one for the cocoa lovers: KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa – the sumptuous, deep coffee and chocolate flavors of KBS rise to the next level with a swirl of cinnamon and a hint of vanilla to create a sweet-but-not-too-sweet barrel-aged drinking experience. It’s a whole new spin on KBS that’s sure to sweeten your spirits."

Would I buy it again?: Okay, here's the thing with this beer. Obviously, it's extremely good. The cinnamon, the cocoa, the vanilla, they're all there, and they complement each other well. But one bottle is nearly $10, and that's just too much. It's too much for a 16 oz. can, so it's definitely too much for a 12 oz. bottle. I'm glad I bought it, because I've heard good things about KBS beers from Founders, but I just can't see myself buying it again. It's not good enough to justify the price tag.
