Lol was like that when I bouggt this house, should see the basement. But FHA had no probs with it, sorry about sideways pic to. Now I know not to take it that way.

This help? The plugen is for lights above sink, and the other is for a 6 jack outlet under the cuboards. Stay classy Rockford Illinois.

Makes a little more sense, seeing it plugged in. At first it looked like some kind of triple floating outlet, haha

Just had one of my spiced pumpkin ales. Not fully carbed yet and can definitely taste the pumpkin, but there isn't as much spice as I would like. A little bummed and the wife is too. This is the first time she has looked forward to one of my brews.

Enjoying a Surly "wet". Sooooo good.

I'm on a layover in Chicago and I just had a glass of Goose Island Matilda. I'm currently drinking a glass of Green Line Pale Ale. Both are really good, but that Matilda... I don't know. There's just something about that makes me want more and more.

Its been a day fellas...

Southern Tier Harvest (fantastic!)
Firestone Walker Union Jack
Jack's Abbey Pumpkin
Redhook Long Hammer IPA

Rogue Voodoo Doughnut. I really wish they had used a a slightly maltier and higher FG beer for this thing...

American pale ale. I found a jug in a box. Cooled it down its tasty.

Diamond Knot IPA, for the moment.

English Bitter. Cheers

Me glass is empty, more IPA

Homebrewed or the real one? DK IPA was the first homebrew I did, kit from HomebrewHeaven.

Over lunch during the boil of our 11 gal of red saison my brew buddy and I consumed a red hoptober, a 16th anniversary stone IPA, to both of which I say "meh", and an ommegang Hennepin which is quite good and deceptively alcoholic. It is hard to tell whether it is a saison or Belgian Golden Strong ale.

Kentucky Ale. Im a little disapointed from the description of a Marriage of traditional pale/irish red which to me seemed more like an english pale/wheat. Maybe its that "traditional" part. Which almost to me,means "mild" the more I think about it, not that mild is bad. Good quaffing/summer type quencher though,probably beats a boring premium lager on occasion.

Now having a O'Dempseys Big Red Ale, now this is more like the Irish Red-but its not traditional, its more of an American influence. Really like this one,altogether though.

Victory Harvest Ale. Incredible. Being 15 minutes from the brewery is great!

Had some Captain Lawrence Pumpkin Ale, now onto Captain Lawrence Brown Bird. Got some Left Hand Nitro Stout and Founders Breakfast Stout in the fridge for later. Yum!

Deschutes Black Butte Porter. Damn good for 2.99 a bottle.

Deschutes Green Lakes Amber. Great beer, I love it. Wish they were still making Buzzsaw Brown...

My Chocolate Rye brown ale/porter. Its MO base malt, chocolate rye, fawcett's pale chocolate, crystal MO, flaked oats, and I think some flaked rye I had lying around. Hopped with columbus, magnum, and cascade and fermented with WLP002 and WLP028. This bottle happens to be WLP028, really like this and need to brew it again.

Lakefront Pumpkin lager. This is a great tasting mid range(almost light) pumpkin. It has the drinkability of a Fall party beer but a solid taste of a good example of a nice pumpkin/pumpkin spiced beer that would pair good with food/pie or on its own as a mild dessert. Although the aroma lacks and does have a bit of sulfer/rubber it seems and kind of fizzles its spice aroma out after warming. As far as tastes its what I look for in taste for a good pumpkin beer. Probably the best lower abv pumpkin beer Ive had.

Drinking my first pumpkin beer of the season, La Parcela

Elissa IPA from Saint Arnold Brewing in Houston, TX

Miles Davis bitches brew, only beer from dog fish head I've actually liked.

Devil Dog IIPA

Pretty stellar stuff! I've really liked all of the Laughing Dog IPAs that I've had.

a couple fingers of bourbon, neat

Ass Kisser Vanilla Pale Ale. It works,if you like vanilla and all good vanilla aroma.I think its unusual and also underrated. I kinda dig it.For what it is I think its well made and exceeded my expectations for shure. Pretty tastey Pale ale with vanilla.

O'Fallon Smoked Porter and some of my IBA. Good stuff.

Stone / Bottleworks 13th.

Reissdorf Kolsch

Hair of the Dog - Blue Dot


My friend wasn't in the mood for beer so it's a bomber just for me.

Had a Choc American White Ale with dinner, a Marshall Old Pavillion, and a Home brewed pale ale today. Not a bad day, IMO. Maybe I'll try my Hydro sample of my latest Hefeweizen before I call it a night.

Nice! Double Jack took a bronze in the IIPA category today at the GABF, good fvcking beer.

I'm having a Flat 12 Flat Jack Pumpkin Ale.

Earlier I had a glass of wine, but it had gone a bit south and I had trouble finishing it. I have since switched over to homebrew. Just finished a pint of my coconut porter. I think I will drink a pint of mild next.

I need to brew me a mild. Love a smooth brew after a night of bruising the palate. After seeing you guys post about geuze last night, I had a Cuvee Rene after a few IPAs.


Now I'm toning it down a bit before one last IPA.

2x Redhook longhammer . Yum.

Re: Tetley's

I wish I could get some more beers like that here. The only ordinary bitter that I can really find around here is the Boddington's. Same goes for milds, really. There are a couple of local breweries making milds, but nothing worth buying really. Anchor Brewing has a mild available around town, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

I'm always willing to help with that. Sent you a PM.

Rodenbach vintage 2009 after two brews and keging in one day. Good day
