What are you drinking now?

First taste of my Belgian Strong Dark...brewed Dec 28, bottled Jan 6. Surprised that it is drinkable this soon! 8.14% ABV...whew!

Yuengling Lager... I have a total of 2 bottles of home brew left... not counting the 10 that I've got set back for a friend.

Man I hate buying beer. I don't mind Yuengling, and I like a number of other commercial/craft beers, but I just hate... hate... HATE buying beer just because I'm out of home brew. I guess I don't mind buying the occasional six pack or two, but I just can't stand being out of home brew. I guess I just enjoy my beer.

I have 15 gallons fermenting and enough grain for another 5 gallon batch. I think I'm going to brew like hell for the next couple of months to get way ahead and try to stay ahead.

This is pretty good. Definitely tastes like apricots.

Another stone collaborative brew. Really smokey, damn tasty.

My Maple Wine. It's a rather strange beverage. A cross between wine and whiskey.

Very easy. Use grade B maple syrup (the dark stuff). Trader Joes is the only reliable place around here I can find it (Whole Foods may have it too, but I never go in there). I did 3 lbs in one gallon, and treated it exactly like a mead (with staggered nutrient additions per one of the stickies in the mead section of the forum). Used Lalvin EC-1118. Went to 0.990.

First time having this

Drinking one myself.. Out of my new Surly glass from Swarley!

Ive been wanting to try that. Ive heard a ton of good things.

This is my first time with this. Very earthy and spicy. Letting it warm now. Not what i was expecting. Pretty good.

Picked it up along with these guys today.

Could use some more hop flavor, but overall, pretty decent. I'm glad I have 5 more!

Citralicious IIPA. Mmm, mmm, good!

I need to get back down to Texas to enjoy this. Planning on a trip to San Antonio and Austin in the spring.

Blackrocks Coconut Brown hoping the Seahawks hold on!!

Hey 'Niners Nation', how's that meltdown treatin ya?

Coffee brown and some Weller's Antique. BdG on deck.

Was tasked with tasting some Joseph Wesley tea to decide which one to use in a recipe at the brewery. Was given The Lapsong Souchong, Dian Hong Congfu, and the Keemun Congfu and just tried them all to see which one would work best. I liked the Keemun Congfu the best and really want to use that one, but it is also pretty light. The Lapsong Souchong was a close second and I see it going well with something like a saison. The Dian Hong Congfu was woody/earthy and I don't see it going well in a beer. Now to cleanse the palate with some beer.

Foothills Brewing Hoppyum IPA. Grabbed this in a mix n match 6er at the grocery store earlier today. Pretty run of the mill, but decent enough.
