What are you drinking now?

Right now I am sipping on a 7 week old Tahitian Vanilla Porter and I am happy to say it has started to come into its own. I was a bit worried but it is mellowing nicely. I say another month in the keg and I should have a winner here. Worst case the buzz is nice as this ones a bit stiff.

Really? I'm a huge IPA fan and Ninkasi fan, but I really don't like Total Domination all that much.

The last Oatis I had was very thin. Is there a lack of consistency? Or did I get an off bottle?

Lake Walk Pale Ale (Dude's recipe from this site). I LOVE this beer! The Simcoe and Amarillo are amazing together.

I didn't get neither of these bottles in my pack.. I guess ill have to keep searching

Drinking my hydro sample of a pumking clone recipe.

My Columbus IPA

My version of a Dumaine Du Page 2 brothers clonish beer. Certainly is not that and despite "thinking i may have had an infection" well going on over a year maybe almost this certainly is not off or overcarbed. But is still a good malty(scottish/french) and somewhat reatained its hop character well .And a pretty peppery/clove s-33 character.It aged well and is probably better than it was then surprisingly. Despite being disapointed it wasnt anything close to the clone,im pretty impressed how it turned out. Just happy I wasnt an" impulse dumper" then and gave this a chance. And a cool thing is its nothing close to anything Ive ever had.

My 'Merica IPA

Ballast Point Sculpin IPA = greatness, so complex... I need to stock more.

Sierra Nevada Hoptimum, at 10.4 ABV and 100 IBU this one is a tasty beast.

My Märzen, a nice contrast to the hoppiness I experienced earlier.

Enjoying a cigar and enjoying a newly arrived sixpoint resin to Texas.. I can say Yum and love the cans

Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. I usually don't like very hoppy beers. I like this beer.

Lost Abbey Inferno Ale.

Hopsickle and Evil Twin. I was definately lied to that the Evil Twin was delivered this week. There was NO hop aroma whatsoever. And it was the hoppiest thing I have. Good thing I've been in a bock mood.

Jolly Pumpkin Oro de Calabaza. This is the first JP beer I've had since its not available where I live. I had to have my parents bring one from Chicago. It's good, slightly sour and fruity. Very low carbonation and thick mouthfeel.

Miller High Life, after a 12 hour shift.

My Caribou Slobber brown ale....Deeeeelish!!!

Drinking allagash- confluence at the flying saucer 12th anniversary party.

I just made some two days ago. Glad to hear someone else has made it and enjoys it. It smells wonderful.

My newly kegged Strong Ale, somewhat like Double Dead Guy...I'm getting buzzed! 8.6 % ABV

I just had Breckenridge 471 IPA and Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale with sushi for dinner. All of which was absolutely amazing.

5 Seasons Sister-in-law Saison & Echo St. IPA

I had a negra modelo last night with Mexican food and a sixer of 1554 waiting for me tonight.

Since it is Breaking Bad night at my house I went with Founder's Frangelic Mountain Brown... I was lucky enough to get a couple bottles.

Over the past couple of months, I've been a "hop-head." I was looking for something different; less hoppy. So, I decided to try a McSorley's Black Ale. Just what the doctor ordered. Nice balance and a bit of malty bitterness. I've gotta go and grab another....

Lil Sumpin' Wild



72ibus, but drinks like a 50ibu beer. They used one or more types of the cat pee hops. Mild sweetness. Simple grain bill. I can't really tell they used a Belgian yeast or anything wild, but whatever. I suppose it has more yeast character than the typical Cali IPA. It's almost 9%, but isn't harshly boozy.

It's a little rougher than regular Lil Sumpin' Sumpin' on account of the cat pee hops, but not too rough for this occasional IPA drinker. I have not had a bad or even mediocre beer from Lagunitas. This is no exception.

Dragon's Milk from New Holland that a friend gave me. At 10% ABV it's deceptively strong!

Love me some Dragon's Milk. I'm sipping on a Ten Fidy at the moment.

Barrier Brewing Co. Bulkhead Red ...nice hop character and malt backbone to think about..best brewery on Long Island!

Speedway Stout

Rogue double dead guy. Meh, its ok. Different than I expected. Maybe I was hoping on more hop aroma and flavor. Very malty beer. Next on the schedule is some honey wheat that I made a while ago. Gotta empty the keg to make room for my amber ale

Went to Cheeseburger in Paradise, got a Paradise Beach (house) ale. Not bad, though I swear I picked up banana notes.

Timmermans Oude Gueuze.

Picked up a Sam Adams harvest sampler.
So far tonight:
Coffee stout (mine)
Hazel brown (Sam Adams)
Dunkelweizen (Sam Adams)
Boston lager (Sam Adams)

Mmmmmm

I was pleasantly surprised by the Hazel Brown.

Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve. It was a productive weekend.

Trying something new; Monk's Cafe. Don't worry, I've already started planning an Oud Bruin...

Alesmith Old Numbskull with some Nephew. Danmark! FTW, minus good beer!
