What are you drinking now?

Sour ginger peach ale

Damn man, that's rough. Don't blame you for being Scrooge-y. Good luck with everything.

What's with the plague of flooding in the alchie thread?

I think I may be turning into Scrooge today. I woke up to a flooded kitchen floor leaking from under my sink...one of my wife's three ******* cats sprayed diarrhea all over our dining room carpet that I JUST shampoo'd...another cat puked in the living room (also just shampoo'd)...and I'm informed that we have to go to dinner at my wife's grandmotger's trailer. With 10 other people. In a single wide trailer.

Having a Tank 7 with lunch. Will be looking to bring a bottle of scotch with me tonight.

Oh. Did I mention that I also just realized that I never cleaned out my mash run from the last time I brewed before I left for OKC? Yeah. That explains all the fruit flies everywhere. There's just not enough alcohol in this house...

A sign from a higher being telling us to drink more water?

Sorry to hear about your morning tyzippers.

Party time.

Hope things get better zippers! Drinking a nice oatmeal milk stout after plowing through this pig and cheese sandwich (ham and bacon) :rockin:

Sorry to hear about that pile of coal dumped in you. I hope your Christmas turns around for you!

First one for this year...

One of the best Pale Ale's ever. So damned tasty.

Comparing my two black imperial IPAs from this year. The first one was under attenuated, but had more body

Firestone DBA and I found one bottle of Saison Rue for $12.49 at Albertsons which is half of what I would pay in NC.

Here's the first pic of my Snowbound robust vanilla porter;

The tresurer for our homeowner's association also brought us a beautifull large tin of danish butter cookies that should go well with it. I'm taking the day off from writing my book to enjoy the day.

Backwoods Bastard. One left

Prep work is done for dinner and the roast beast is almost done. Time to relax for a few minutes now.

I think you misunderstood. I use The Joy of Cooking recipe. It's 1950's strength. I only make a half batch - 6 eggs, qt of cream, 1/2 lb powdered sugar, 1/5 of liqour (I prefer to use rye &/or spiced rum but we were gifted some Jack), and cup of peach brandy. Topped with freshly grated nutmeg. Big mug of that on an empty stomach this morning and I was by 10am.

At least the mash tun makes the cat sick not smell as bad? :cross: I hope you own a flask for dinner tonight and that things get better for you!

Not that I thought highly of NC east of the mountains, but the more you tell me about the beer scene over there, the worse it sounds. I think regular Bruery stuff like Saison Rue is all $9-13 in the Asheville.

Having some Elmer T. Still too full from brunch to drink a beer.

Sticking with holiday brews for now...

Twas the night before Christmas

Not an alchy was stirring,
I hope they're not dead!

tallgrass ethos while I prepare roast beast dinner for the in-laws

Long trail Belgian brunette .... Very good

The 4th bottle of Schneider Weisse Aventinus, soooo awesome:rockin:

Water.(not of the BMC variety)
Still out in the woods and haven't seen any deer today. I'm about to head back to the camp house and have myself a beer or three.

Some Ranger Creek Rimfire. They make a good whiskey.

Craft brew, baby!!!!!

Peach and pecan Dunkel I made. First time using gelatin in one of my kegs. Came out great.

Brux domesticated wild ale. Good stuff, but maybe i was expecting more from it, not blown away. Bought another bottle to store, see how it tastes in 6 months.

Glad you enjoyed that. I thought it was interesting. Huge notes of passion fruit and sourness. I wonder if they used conan in it?
