What are you drinking now?

Surly Furious clone (NB kit), 6 weeks old. My wife loves the piney aroma and flavor that was too much for me but it's finally mellowing out.

My Honey Ale. Finished so low,but manages great body,honey flavor with a mild tart lemon citrus finish."Turned out bigger than intended due to the low FG finish. One and done with this one holy ****zerfield already now. Only has slight alcohol aroma/taste- pretty proud of it really for a first 30% honey brew its about max and next time probably 20% honey with some other malt character to stay more beer like. Its a nice front stage for Honey in an ale,but barely staying ale-ish.

O'Dempsey's Big Red Ale.

I don't care for most of their beers either. There are many people here in MI that are excited to get NB beers now, though.

Speaking of NB, I'm currently drinking Red Hoptober. I definitely think I'll revisit it again during the fall.

I like it. We went on a bus tour through that part of the country last year and this was one of my staples during the trip. Hadn't drank one since then.

I have one of these in the fridge for tommorow.

Yards Cape of Good Hope IIPA.

In honor of my first Homebrew Wednesday, I'm enjoying a few pints of MisterTipsy's award winning Amarillah Amber.

A red rye ale!

Total Wine (BrewDog) Old World India Pale Ale, then a NB Red Hoptober.

I don't know how you guys are drinking red hoptober. I think It's terrible. It was better when it was just hoptober.

Apfelwein with apple juice ice cubes..

In no particular order: Chimay dubbel (red), SN tumbler, and my UK dark mild.

Only had a few of theirs myself, but I noted that while I positively loved Fat Tire, the 1554 was pretty underwhelming.

had a Port Brewing Mongo, A Farmstead Hill Everett Porter, RR Consecration, and a small sampler of my Belgian Pale Ale (next time I'm using WLP 550 to try and get a more spicy phenolic flavor)

Not what I wanted to hear. I havent tried it yet.

Had a Jolly Pumpkin ES BAM last night. Might harvest the yeast to make a funky saison.

Water. I have a 3 hour drive home, then I'm gonna do my best to kick my keg of pale ale when I get home.

Sampled a small bit of my enamel stripper DIPA it is insane !!! 116 IBU death seriously very good I'm going to post the recipe though I may tweak the malt a small bit more before I do that.

Prune juice. Straight up!

Great Lakes Brewing - Eliot Ness Amber Ale. A great hometown brew!

Jailhouse Breakout Stout & my American Wheat Ale.

It must be September already! Founders Breakfast Stout

Chimay Blue...has been a long time. This is a beer that needs to warm up before it really shines.

Stone 16 Anniversary IPA. A good double to have ocassionally.Slightly different-the lemon seems to give it slightly a (strange- maybe synthetic-like) quality about it-thats what seems to make it differnt but not really in a bad way.Hoppy as all hell of course also.Mild slick noticable sweetness but thats blown away with hoppy bittering. Nice though. Prettty shure Id just rather a Reuination though. Rather. Or an oaked Arrogant. Its gotta be a challenge to top their best beers, but all that experience shure gives them time to do so. It remindes me of marriage and how I would like to brew an over the top beer every anniversary after I officially get married(one of these days). And trying to "spice it up" in the bedroom. Eww. NOw Im just thinking too much.Beer alawys does that-though,ha,ha.

^ I had the 16th anniversary IPA and wasn't impressed either.

Would have been better if they simply double dry hopped their regular IPA.

...eeeexcellent....

Dogfish Head pumpkin, first time. It was good beer though I was left wanting something.... something pumpkinesque.

I've only had two pumpkin beers and the Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin ale in a 22 ounce left a lasting, positive effect on me.

Oh, and Sierra Nevada Tumbler which.... is just awesome. I will drink this until March ^^

10 Barrel Brewing "Apocalypse IPA"














*not my pic

Couple homebrew IPA and then found a Hopslam stashed in the back of the fridge.

Fruit delight cherry ale. Delicious! Just cracked the keg tonight, and I'm about 4 pints into it.
I added a full bottle of cherry extract at kegging, and now I'm getting just the slightest hint of cherry note after 2 weeks of conditioning.
A good, hoppy flavour on the front side, and clean finish with very little after taste on the back side.
This one's a keeper.

Enjoying a Kilt Lifter this evening while entering a Habanero Sculpin Clone recipe in to BeerSmith. Gonna brew this early Saturday morning and can't wait to sample.

My Memorial Ale, Pale ale with black pepper infusion. 1.3 oz peppercorn added @15 min, left in fermenter. Easy to drink more than one.

My cascade pale ale. It's the last few glasses, until my other pale ale finishes fermenting. I need to brew again soon, because I'm down to 4 cases in my pipeline. Maybe I'll do a Hefeweizen next, or a furious clone.

'Bout sums up the night. Slainte!

Sounds fantastic!

Started the evening with my version of Tasty's APA, now on to a Knee Deep Simtra Triple IPA.

First bottle out of a five gallon batch of amber ale..... delicious
