Aurturo Fuentes. Nice…..
Welp decided the WCIPA is too sweet. The hazy came out too dry although love the flavor/aroma with the Elani/Nectron combo! Have a plan to fix them both...

Hb Czech premium lager. It's coming into its own now, nice beer, need to grab some urquell to try alongside it. Not a clone, just want to compare.
This one was I'd planned to have for May the Fourth, but ended up leaving. 10% walnut whip imperial stout aged 12 months in bourbon barrels.
I have yet to try this. A store I was in earlier today had the tall cans (19.2oz) in the cooler. Probably should have grabbed a couple.
Carb/lagering check.
HB Cream Ale, fermented with CS German lager yeast. Not fully carb’d yet, only been a few days using the “set it and forget it” method. Tastes good already, light and refreshing. When I take a sip and close my eyes I can almost hear a lawnmower running in the distance.

Another Czech, proper glassware and proper tap for this pour.
Found this on sale at our beer distributor. 16oz cans. Northern Germany. I don’t recall ever having this before. Tasty.

Well it’s been several months since my DecemberFest Lager and IPA Fests, which took a toll on the old BeerMeister. Doctor said “Lose the Dad Bod”. I think those high ABV IPA’s really did a number on me.
So, here I am, BeerMeister2.0 back in the saddle, 42 lbs lighter. I did it “old school” by cutting back on calories and shutting off the beer tap. No Ozempic or Golo here! Well, actually I switched over to non-alcohol beers, I’m in the habit of drinking SOMETHING in the evenings, and it wasn’t that hard for me to switch – as long as I had something cold to sip on each night.
I’m still going to keep the diet going for a while, so only the occasional regulation-strength beer. Maybe I’ll review a few of those and a few of these diet beers as they come up.
To give you an idea of what 42 lbs feels like, 42 lbs is 672 ounces. A can of beer is 13 ounces, that equals about 51.69 cans of beer weight - Hey, Hey! - that’s about the amount in a typical 5 gallon batch of beer! Imagine packing a 5-gallon keg full of brew around your middle 24/7!!!!
So how does Budweiser Zero taste? I’ll tell ya, I’ve been trying all the NA (Non-Alcohol) brews available, and I’m finding this Bud Zero my go-to diet beer. You have to sort of rate these in their own category, they aren’t obviously going to stack up against a full-strength beer. Not bad for what it is – a 50 calorie, no alcohol beer. How these guys pull it off is beyond me. Prost!

The good stuff! FES
I would recommend giving it a go. I think there's some artificial flavoring but a Mind Haze 12pk variety for $18 is great for me. The 8%er version is the best IMHO.
Seems like the perfect day to try. Love the 12.5% BA action here.

I lost about 60lbs a couple years back going on Healthy Keto. No doubt felt better and clear headed.
To the new journey!

My brother tasted my Dogfish Head 60 Minute clone I intend to serve to guests at my son’s graduation party next weekend and he said he likes it. “Tastes good, I’ll drink it” he says.
It’s still a little hazy so it’ll be served in red solo cups and nobody will know any better. The Pilsner I have ready is clear as a bell and tastes great, as well as the Hefeweizen (not clear, but not supposed to be). Should be a good time
30 bottles of raspberry hard lemonade will be available for the non beer drinkers.
Meanwhile… finishing up my research six pack.

I miss not having all the youngsters around to brew the Raspberry HL. Maybe for myself in the summer...if the clouds ever go away.My brother tasted my Dogfish Head 60 Minute clone I intend to serve to guests at my son’s graduation party next weekend and he said he likes it. “Tastes good, I’ll drink it” he says.

OT, more Summer 12.5% BBaBW. So good...and flying into San Francisco, what could go wrong?
Couple more, a “Dutch Pilsner” and a blonde.
Michelada, homemade Bloody Mary mix. Spicy, very tasty.
My favorite IPA brewery in America.....or the entire 96 billion light year universe.
The weekends are too short.

I remember them in their infancy (when I could still drink IPAs). Their quality has never missed a beat, and the restaurants have been worthwhile destinations. We are fortunate enough to be within walking distance to their Salinas pub and a very short drive to the brewing facility.
