Happy Thanksgiving! What 'cha gonna drink?

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I hope the day is enjoyable and satisfying. I assume most will be eating some variation of the traditional meal, so what are you drinking with it?

I am planning on sharing a vertical of Stone Vertical Epics going back to '05.

Among the things I am thankful for all my virtual friends here and throughout the internet brewing world. Happy Thanksgiving. Don't choke on a bone.

i'm hoping my dampfbier will be fully carbed and ready to go.

Dampfbier?! Cool. Is it a pretty traditional recipe, yeast, fermentation temp and all? I hope you will share your results on this one.

i'm really not very knowledgeable about it. i just found a few mentionings of the style when i googled what to do with hefe yeast.

my recipe is a blend of these two:

yeast was danstar munich (because that's what i already had)

Sounds great. I would like to try a traditional version with the weiss yeast but I am not sure I would want a whole batch. Your variation sounds great.

I'll be bringing a ton of beer to the family festivities. My homebrews include: Pliny the Elder clone, B3 Barleywine, and a dark pumpkin spice ale.

I'll also be bringing a 2008 Old Guardian and Stone's 15th Anniversary.

probably my imperial stout and my buddies' raspberry barleywine.

Bayern Faceplant, Full Sail Hop Pursuit and if I have guests, I'll open a bottle of Mead.

Homebrew. I've got whole batches of beer that never got touched. Hopefully my neighbor comes over and helps.

TASTY THANKSGIVING BREWPASTOR!

Snap we're going to have a selection

Oregon Suburban Orchard Cider 2 mags
Aventinus Weizen Doppelbock clone growler
Stella Artois sixer
St. Bernardus Christmas Ale mag
Lindeman's Frambois
New Belgium Folly Sampler halfrack
Blue Moon Winter Abbey Ale halfrack
Sierra Nevada seasonal 6-er
a few cans of keystone leftover from a friend

Don't care what I drink before, during, or immediately after dinner. All I am focusing on is getting home afterwards and having my first ever glass of the fabled Pliny the Elder, which is sitting in my fridge right now. I'm going to have dreams about it tonight.

Irish stout, APA, and later in the evening egg nog w/brandy

I have some BDSA and a nice Tripel in the fridge.....

Those should be good since I am braising some duck legs and thighs in BDSA for dinner. That along with some grilled breasts.

Since my wife is not a big fan of turkey we always have duck for Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone...

Just finished my keg of Oktoberfest. I'm already missing it!

I'll be drinking some Newcastle from my new beertender, plus some 6th borough brown ipa made with 2 row, special b, naked oats, victory, cenntenial, ahtanum, and chinook. Mmmmmmm
