What are you drinking now?

Having a giant labatt blue at the local kids amusement park. Surprised that I'm not throwing up. Not bad...

that sounds worse than the coors craps.

Got myself a decent little haul today. I was at the Lhbs which is about halfway to a nice shop about an hour from me, so I figured what the hell. Made the jaunt down there and was pleasantly surprised to find they had some Gandhi-bot stashed in the back.

Really nice session IPA. Didn't even know Two Roads had one until I saw it in the not so local package store today. The hop aroma is really good and it's not too light on the body. It's everything I hope the one I brewed yesterday will turn out to be.

I'm gonna chode punch you. 3 reasons: 1) I can't get those here B) you can buy beer on Sundays. I could drive to Sewer Falls, SD to get Sunday beer, but flocc Sewer Falls.

Just finished watering the garden, putting some stuff in compost bin, spraying around garden and yard to kill off weeds, poison ivy and other crap, tidying up the kitchen, starting the dishwasher. Cooling off with a homemade ginger bug citrus soda. Lipsmackin' and refreshing!

Later...drop daughter at friend's BDay party and going to Whole Foods for supplies for a brother in-law's BDay cookout. Maybe I'll find an interesting bottle while I'm there!

Kölsch.

2 different wheats and a Muskoka Detour.

Back from the lake.

That's only 2 reasons there, Billy. ;-) Also, how the hell does SD sell beer on Sundays but MN doesn't? Your state is screwed up. But your state also has Surly and Lakefront, so it's not that bad.

nuke, I said almost the same thing you said about the Two Roads session. Great aroma and doesn't taste like a sessiony (made that up) beer. It's solid.

Cheers.

I need to get you some of the new beers from the newest brewery in town. No IPAs or anything like that. Lots of sours. They opened yesterday and the beer nerds were out in full force documenting every smell and sip of beer. ****ing annoying bastards.

Beer

Divine 5 brewed in 07. Chocolate and a little soy saucey

Hefe is not my favorite style, but the pineapple make this on damned good. Especially after yard work. And listening to Traffic (instead of One Direction!). :rockin:

Please do.

I'm sitting back and watching the thin blue smoke rise off of my smoker and thinking about the ribs to be.

Having the One-hitter quitter. 7 ounces of Limeade with 5 ounces of coconut rum.

Is that the Ironshore Bock? I tried that one two weeks ago when I was there. It's not bad either

Coffee here.

Yep. Ironshore Bock. Tasty, especially by the pool & ocean.

Saint Arnold weisenbock aged in rum barrels. Delish

Water. Took so long to get the little one down for nap, too late to brew today. Rrrrrr.

Water while cleaning up.

Decided to pour banesong's ESB while watching the smoker and relaxing on the back porch.

Jealous. I told myself I'd smoke a few racks of ribs today and I was too tired after coming back from the lake. Next weekend, that's my first priority. Post some pics when they're done so I can salivate.

Eating some really good Mexican food. The downside is Dos Equis is the best thing here

Call me crazy but lately I'm looking at brewing and smoking things as more of a burden than anything. I'm considering just buying my drinks and ordering food from restaurants.

Am I losing it or just going through a phase? Is there a way to "take some time off?" or is this a path of no return?

It hasn't been on oak that long? A week?

Few days. My RIS was in it for 4 days and the oak was powerful. This is only the second beer I've dumped in here. Next is an IPA (for a mild oak) and it's turning into my sour barrel.

You're done. I'll take your equipment, smoker, and any beers.

Got rained out of the park. It's either nap time or beer time...

I need more home brew. Another of my DIPA.

Fruit of an eMAW to console myself about not brewing. Holy roast, brewman!

Fresh oak or chared?
Guess at first it up front then it will fade. My quad been in for a month and took a sample last night and it was awesome. I don't know if I should let it go longer or bottle/ keg now. (it's 15 gals )

Did some veggie prep, now on to grilling corn, with this:

Some old chub while turning this POS rusted ass file cabinet into a mill cabinet.

Pumkinator aged in bourbon barrels. Awesome way to close the event

My Amarillo IPA

Charred (medium toast). ****'s powerful, though.

New Glarus pics. Not that anyone cares. Feel free to skip over this post if you wish.
