What are you drinking now?

Just had an ESB hydrometer sample.

This is one of the tastiest beers I've ever had! Straight up cocoa taste!

LOL crappy pour on my part

Robust Porter whilst I'm collecting first runnings of my Oatmeal Stout.

Drinking a new brewery in the area calles cycler's. Cycler's - Break Away. A nice english IPA definitely going to try their other brews. Gotta love new brews and growlers in the area. got seven at the moment and probaby going to have more whem more pops up.

Bear Republic Red Rocket, awesome end to the NASCAR race!!

Dinner and "can o bliss"

In honor of tonight's weather...

My Classic American Pilsner. I'm calling it Grommet CAP. The first lager I've made (3rd try) that I really like! Sweet pils character with a firm hop bittering and a quick, dry finish! Don't really care much for commercial lagers.

Smuttynose winter ale

My first time with this.. Lagunitas is working their way up on my list of favorite breweries. Absolute malt bomb here but quite tasty.

I'm having my first WTF too - very malty but enough hop in the back to balance it out. Not a Sucks, but still a solid beer!

Good call! Stouts and porters make the best scotchies imo.

What's a scotchie?

I picked up the Cragganmore a few years ago, and wasn't really impressed with it. Even the very tail runnings of my Oatmeal Stout (I grabbed a little bit after I had all I needed for my boil) add a bit of complexity. Hah.

Wort mixed with Scotch. It's the brewer's secret cocktail.

Oh ok.thanks

Old Monkeyshine from Nimbus. 8.2% abv, really smooth malty and sweet. Plus I live about 10 minutes from the brewery.

Odd Side Ales Derilicte Pineapple IPA, I plan on taking a shot at cloning this very soon. The pineapple goes perfect with the hops, just not sure what hops to go with, any suggestions?

Just googled hot scotchy...

There is no way this will not be included in every brew day from now until forever! I love this old school stuff!

I've made them the last few batches. This combo was a good one. I'll be making it a ritual myself.

My last one, but now I have a local source for it so I am not that concerned.

I'm impressed.

"Dirty" Honey Blonde




Just take you're favorite honey blonde recipe, and caramelize the honey on the stove, add it at 5 min. It changes EVERYTHING.

And I mean "burn" it. This is 3# in a 5 gallon batch. If you burn the honey, you get a totally different flavor.
Gotta make more of this!

Interesting. I've been gearing up to make a honey blonde. 3# is a lot. What's the ABV on that baby?

It's only 6.3%, caramelizing the honey changes some of the sugars so they're not fermentable . You end up with a "toffee" flavor, but not too sweet.

That's funny, I'm drinking one of those right now! I just finished a Green Flash "Imperial", I just love what they did with summit and nugget, very bold and dank. I need to brew something like that.

my WY3711 side off the Petite Saison split.
