Infected

Hope I didn't send you that one. Mine were infected. Supposedly it was a Houston only if it hadn't change. It really sucked too

I think all of you who said theirs are infected are making it up.
The one bottle of mine that I opened didn't have any signs of infection, thankfully. So I'm hoping the other one is fine too.

Nope. You sent me a regular Noir and it was fantastic.

This one came in an eMAW box. Had to dump it. Oh well--I guess beer is a gamble.

Now drinking this. Much better.

More Adult Menu. Glad I didn't send this one to Allen :-/

Having a couple fingers of Auchentoshan Three Wood. It's yummy!

HB Saison, aging nicely. Also eating homemade hummus.

More Ithaca Flower Power.

These little glasses make the growler last longer

Love that beer! Cheers

Water after a local ice cream. Tenants put in a formal offer on my home. The stress begins.

Good luck man, hope it works out well

Skeeter sample (at 8% now, still has a couple days) while finishing off the boil on my Hoppy Nelson Saison.

I'm not normally an IPA guy, but I really dig this one. That said, after the 6er of this, and the 6er of Jai Alai I had last week, I'll be burned out on IPAs for 6 months.

Breakfast stout. It was sure nice of the guy who saved me some KBS considering when they put them out tomorrow they will be all gone and I will be at work.

Cheers to the bottle shop owner that looks out for the workin man!

That's a healthy sized sample! Is it good to drink so young? (I'm assuming it's still fermenting). I've never had skeeter pee.

I agree with that! I recently got to know one of the better shop owners, and found out he was a HBer himself. He always saves me at least one of the Boulevard special releases, and anything else that he thinks wont last long. Ive taken him a sixer of HB for the troubles, hopefully he enjoyed them. Just an all around nice guy.

Yup its fine. Im messing around with flavoring so thus the healthy sample. Skeeter is not something you age, definately drink when its ready.

Having a nugget nectar. Got my polarized sunglasses, but had to grabb beer first for tomorrow. Hop nosh cans for fishing, and got a growler of Chillwave for the late afternoon before going to the Sabres game. Might even hit up a brew pub on the way. Picked up some founder's rye as well since it was discounted.

A ris.

I just can't seem to get enough of the Chub. I find myself adding a bit more oaked bourbon with each can though....I may have developed a 'bourbon barrel' thing

Remembered this thread while having dinner with my Borderland Brewing (Tucson AZ) Cintrana "Sour" Ale. Style Gose. MMMM MMMM Good! Found this beer at a local beer festival, like finding a gold nugget. Nice sour salty taste. Always have a few pints and take a growler home when its on tap. If your ever in the area check them out.

Awhile back, I did a blonde extract brew and overdid the amount of water...separated a couple of gallons and added strawberries at 170F to the rest. The OG was very low, so the next day, I used 3 lbs light DME and a gallon of the strawberry wort and boiled 15 minutes. Added most back to the strawberry wort and a little to the "plain" blonde (which, of course, now has a VERY small amount of strawberry in it). The strawberry batch, I consider pretty much a bust...the musty strawberry flavor makes it pretty blah...no hops in the bitterness or aroma, and no malt. As for my little 17 bottle run of "Plain Jane Blonde", I'm getting my first taste tonight. While it isn't my best effort, it's pretty easy to drink. A little malt, a little sweet, but I still get a little bitterness from the hops. A faint strawberry in the aroma and flavor, but just a little. No hops in the aroma really. I'm really wishing I had stuck to my original thoughts and only used 2 to 3 lbs of strawberries (instead of 6 lbs) and held off adding them until secondary. Ah, well. This little side batch will be drinkable. [Wearing my Nugget Nectar T-shirt. *Grin* ]

Last Kissin Cousins Kentucky Common. Getting kind of bland or oxidized. Its seen better days.

HB Chile beer. Gonna scarf down some food and get ready for bed. Long day of trying to catch trout and drink some beers ahead of me!

I decided to open this strawberry wheat, just to see what a commercial brewery strawberry beer is like. It definitely has, as a reviewer on BeerAdvocate described it, a strawberry cream soda flavor. The strawberry flavoring very much has that candy/creamy flavor and aroma. I like my "Plain Jane Blonde" better, but not my Strawberry Blonde.

The owner is a HB'er as well. Plus I like to bring in stuff I get in trades and share sometimes. I can waste a good hour in there just talking with the guy.

My second Fresh Squeezed of the evening.

Hb red ale, I think I've got the keg pretty much dialed in for this batch.

The head lost just a bit of body as I tried to get a good shot, but its leaving a nice lacing on the glass. I will be sad when I finish this keg. Thinking a skeeter pee may replace it for the yard work season.

Packaged a sampling of my hb's to send off to my brother, only the second time sending stuff off, hope it makes it.

HB snowday black IPA
