What are you drinking now?

Still working on this growler.

You know, I heard that in some crazy scheme to make money, they produced more than one bottle of that whisky. In fact, it's available at quite a few liquor stores for purchase so people don't have to mooch off their friends.

Happy Birthday buddy. Sorry to hear about your friend. Hope you have a good weekend in spite of his passing.

Cheers! Homebrew saison and the view from my 'desk'.

Thanks. Yeah, his passing is a bummer, and completely unexpected. He was healthy as an ox right up until the end.
Nice! Great view you got there!

Happy Birthday Jerry! Great beer to kick things off too!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm thinking about getting some stuff from Blackstone to go with the rest (I love going into Kroger, and being able to pick up decent beer), or maybe some more Lagunitas IPA. Man, I wish I lived here in Tennessee again! Soon though...

That whiskey was for my bachelor party, and I didn't have any.

Saint Somewhere Saison Athene. Making my first saison tomorrow (due to ferm chamber being booked for the next couple of months). Awesome beer.

Mad Hatter growler. Taaastey

Is it oval or flexible?

Sam Adams Summer Ale ...

WesleyS said:

Excuses, excuses. You're no more than ten minutes away from that location when you leave work. Better yet, there's a specs right there in Tomball on 249 next to Walmart. Surely they have it too.

That specs sucks a big one. Spring cypress is so much better.

Tom youll have your taste. Promise. Just that whiskey is so good its going pretty fast lol

My buddy's all citra red the lighting makes it look really dark but god this is amazing

My Robust Porter.

I think I like Sidekick more

Haha! I've never been in that one in Tomball, just knew it was there. It can't be worse than the one in the back of The Woodlands on Kuykendahl.

I personally am not a fan of that particular whisky. I gave away 3/4 of a bottle because I didn't care for it.

Really? What didnt you like about it? Was it the single barrel? Im enjoying it. Not the best one I had but pretty good whiskey

Bass IPA

Voodoo Pilzilla and a Punch to celebrate surviving another week at work!

I'm not sure what it was about it. Just wasn't my thing so I gave it away and bought a bottle of my regular, Russell's Reserve.

New Glarus Cabin Fever.

This is pretty good but the all citra sorta ruined my pallet lol but from what I taste its amazing

Friday + some Hoppin' Frog = bliss!



And as tired as I am, I'll probably fall asleep after this one.

super flexible ... like a take it camping or on the river type of thing. Smells funny maybe that will wear off though.

Good little brew here. Hop forward, but not overly hoppy. Nice malt backbone with just a touch of sweetness and a medium dry finish. Very well balanced.

Finally a brown bottle, probably only for the dry hopped version. This is great, and tastes nothing like Heineken.

Yep, sounds weird. Nothing like sneezing and dumping half of your pint.

My first batch of Cottage House Saison

Outstanding recipe!!

Love that recipe too. We added too much pepper to our first batch, but it's still a good brew. Planning on brewing it again soon.

Drinking the last bottle of my Groundhog Day Honey Wit. Was better when fresh, but still tasty and refreshing.

Bells Two Hearted Ale

Giving Austin Beerworks Fire Eagle IPA a try. First beer I've had from them. I'm impressed, I honestly wasn't expecting it to be this good. A well crafted beer for sure. The only ding is that I don't think Columbus and Amarillo is really a great hop combo, and those are the two that stand out the most.

tgif...coming to realize that my beer store regularly, or at least between seasons, has beer on sale another $3.99/6 snag.

My Ruination clone, although I changed the dry hops from Centennial to Citra. Very aromatic, very flavorful, and it packs a wallop. It went from 1.076 down to 1.012. It also helps that I had a Sidecar (Cognac, Cointreau and lemon juice) before I switched to beer.

After drinking that kerosene any beer would be welcome.

Is that a special bottling? I made a dry-hopped saison last summer and it tasted exactly like the real thing. That'll be my next brew too.

Another Sidekick!

I enjoy that one. Of course, I like everything I've had from Two Brothers.

Victory Headwaters Pale Ale.

While I wait for a care package from Rivenin to chill
