What are you drinking now?

nukebrewer said:

Glad you enjoyed. I don't remember if I told you, but the dark grains were cold steeped. Do you think it would have been better if they had been mashed or added at vorlauf?



I thought I'd seen all the Smuttynose brews. I have a new mission.


Got myself an awesome haul today from Massachusetts. Had to crack open a Nugget Nectar and share the wealth with my MIL. So, so delicious. Now that I am home from the in-laws I am chilling down a Tröegs Perpetual IPA and having a Cascazilla while I wait.

Nice haul I just scored one of those Revel red, and perpetual from Mcbaumberb but haven't tried them yet... and I totally agree that the nugget nectar is an awesome beer.. That Amber hopback I had last night from Tröegs was a super awesome beer too I need to live closer to PA !!

Drinking my censored clone tonight

Indica IPA out of this massive thing. Only $15. Not bad at all.

That's a pretty cool idea for a pitcher.

It comes pressurized too so you don't lose carbonation

Wow got this a few months ago this is awesome

That is my favorite Rogue beer by far!

I think I am in love with Troegs. This another great offering from them. Bright citrusy and fruity hop character. Super smooth bitterness. Delicious!

The Men's Room

Elysian



Tasty!!!!!

My homebrewed Simcoe and Citra Ipa. Incredible.

Stone oaked arrogant bastard. Always a good "go-to" ale.

Citra Pale Ale, this is the Fuller's Strain half, it really brings out the flavor of the honey malt compared to the 1272 half.

Baileys Irish Cream, out of a shot glass I made out of white chocolate with coffee in it. Hmm, not getting much from the chocoffee shot glass.

The after picture (featuring SWMBO). That was awesome.

Having a Deschutes River Ale and remarking to a friend how similar it is to the Centennial Blonde recipe on here even though River Ale has no centennial.

Had my hefeweizen, and my Black Butte Porter clone. Now having a Oskar Blues G'Knight. I wish I could taste better. Been sick for the last few days.

I'm not one for tooting my own horn all that often, but I've got to say I am impressed with myself on this one. It's the American brown ale I brewed for NHC (aka Thunder Snow) and it's got a soft roast, solid maltiness, a good bit of residual sweetness and a restrained but solid hop presence. I can't wait to see how this does in the first round.

Those are way cool... Had one at Pizza Orgasmica in San Francisco a few months ago....

My own hard limeade. Good stuff.

Strong Scotch Ale, 8% ABV w/smoked malt.. delicious.

How long did you cold steep? I liked the result though - nice strong roasted flavor without being overly bitter. I might try that technique next time. In fact, I like the idea of trying vourlauf as well (since I've only mashed the dark grains along with the rest so far.)

Tröegs is an excellent brewery - and if you're ever in the Harrisburg/Hershey area I'd definitely recommend stopping in for a visit. They do a bunch of micro-batches they call the Scratch series that are awesome (but unfortunately they don't bottle many of them so you can only get them at the brewery.)

So that's good to crack open now?

Nice to see OB Represented!

Me, the best local triple IPA in the Front Range (and perhaps elsewhere), Elevation, 11% of >100 IBU goodness. The name is derived from the use of only summit hops and of course our 5,280 feet above sea level.

Click to expand...

TW,
These are some if my favorites. Can drink OB ales everyday. Nice balance with a great finish

French Press full o' coffee while I try to get my thesis done...and by working on my thesis I apparently mean posting on HBT...bah...

Home brewed Habanero IPA (again).

Click to expand...

How did you use the habanero? Dry hop boiled in or placed in the bottle?

Oaked Jai Alai. I know it is a little past it's drink by date, but it is still good.



I have one more day in Orlando but have yet to find the humidor series black ale.

I know what i'm drinking tonight! Just scored some Elysian at the beer shop on my lunch! I had heard that it was going to be coming to Montana soon excited to give it a try tonight!

Doing some deck work. Fricken algae, perks of living so close to the water I suppose.

But
Man I love this beer.

Of course! It's the best way to start off the week!

Now on to Endeavour IPA

Keepin it rollin. Saint Arnold Santo.

Coffee. I have to take a train to southern Oklahoma tonight, and bring one back tomorrow night. That's alright though, because I'm doing a double brew day when I get back, and I get to go pick up a malt mill and 100 lb of grain.

Cigar City American Double Black was awesome, I only had one bottle, it sold out the week it was released at my local liquor store. Your best bet in Orlando would be the Total Wine or Knightly Spirits.

The blue is pretty good. Its balanced but it's too restrained on the hops for my taste.

My ESB/APA/English Pale Ale/almost American IPA. Added Nelson Sauvin hops to the keg for last couple gallons to experiment, but otherwise equal parts FWH and late hopped w/ Amarillo and Citra.
