What are you drinking now?

I bought a create your own 6 pack with 2 each of Hop Ranch, Dirt Wolf and Hop Wallop.

Found this 2012 bottle of Stillwater Table Beer hiding in the stash, super funky

I've passed that one up a dozen times. kinda glad I did since I keep hearing the same thing. I already have 36+ bottles of Meh.

I'm no fan of NB generally, but I thought Accumulation was pretty good. Of course that was one bottle at a party and I haven't bought any…

Sorry Homie, I can tell you I'd rather be in Mesa for the next week while our new and improved polar vortex is coming in...or any time school is in down there!

Waking around ASU when it's warm out lends to incredible views, I will say that.

Really enjoying this one, holy hell!

Maybe making 4 lbs of pate was a bad idea...

Ha! He draws a tree and then another tree next to it so it can have a friend and be happy.

I drink a beer and then I drink 5 more so it can be happy.

Bahn Mi? Yum. There is no such thing as too much Bahn Mi. How did you make your own pate?

More coronita. Not worth the picture.

Some crown and ginger ale. Gotta change things up

Now having this after a successful smoked lager brew day. The house smells like bacon lol.

Sorry - misunderstood your first post. I ordered the ECY-01 from Love2brew.com

So what's in your glass? You can't post a pic like that without saying what you're drinking (after all - that is the title of the thread!)

He should have done a whole series of paintings themed to the Lord of the Rings. Can you imagine him painting Fangorn forest?!

Having a Brooklyn Brewing Chocolate Stout for dessert while I typed up a recap of my brew day. For those interested, it's here:

Banh Mi sounds delicious right now. There's a place in the Eden Center (in Falls Church VA, worth a trip if you like Vietnamese food) that makes the best Banh Mi I've had, and it's very cheap.

Hop Head Red. tasty.

Skipped the bacon and used belly instead of shoulder.
Next time I might use more belly, a little less back fat, and less liver. I might also make a half recipe...

I'm not sure pate would ship well, though with this weather it would probably be fine. If you're lucky, you might get some prosciutto though.

Beer!

Last bottle of farmhouse pale from the half without JP dregs. I'm pretty much out of beer I'm not trying to cellar. Thankfully two batches to bottle tomorrow and cream ale is about ready to drink. I'm almost out of barley malt and the guys I get malt from just built a new kiln and won't have malt for a few weeks. Might have to break down and get some 2 row to make a beer for the mrs. this week.

Nice stout

I'm going to grab one next and be beer buddies. The great thing about that beer. It's year round

Fresh growler pour of Ithaca Brewing's "Zuul". A imperial Stout brewed with Gimme! Coffee's Java Blawan, cacao and cayenne pepper. Nice and roasty with faint heat in the finish.

Also picked up a growler of CranBretty. Cranberry ale fermented with Brett only. That's up next!

I really like this beer. It's like a roasty imperial milk stout.

It's one of my favorites and I do not thing there is any lactose in this beer

Trying a hb Belgian blonde I made using Ardennes yeast. Turned out very good but not as clear as I wanted.

This while bottling

Picture

Had 3 of these 2x, my hb chocolate milk stout that doesn't taste right, and now onto the fruit salad blonde. Was feeling a stout night but didn't see too many options I was interested in. Diabetes stout is still on tap but forgot my growler. D'oh!

HB helles, was drinking an old IPA, end up pouring the last three bottles because it had gotten too old.

Founders Porter. I haven't met a Founders beer I haven't liked yet.

Earlier I finished off my growler of Fort Bend Brewing Coffee Stout. They brewed it specifically for a tap take over at Whole Foods on Friday. Very nice as well.

Another after f-ing bottles and now dexter

I'm not a fan of Fort bend. I think there beers are bland. The "stout" is the only good but I think I tasted off flavors to it. I went to a little tasting they had and all wasn't good and the rep was a moron

F-ing bottles?

Dale's Pale Ale. I'm too tired (read lazy) to take a pic.

Had this earlier. Pretty good.

Definitely an interesting brew but it's my least favorite anchorage offering so far. Very light body, typical high carbonation, rose colored hue. Light on the flavor department, very little of the lime and and a bit of sweetness from hibiscus and all is covered up by a but of Brett funk. By no means bad but I'd probably pass this one up in favor of any other offering.

and yes, that is a recycled wine glass from earlier since I was too lazy to walk downstairs for a new glass

SWMBO demanded something a little more sour so she gets to enjoy one of my favorites that she found hiding in the back of the fridge

Blood Orange Soda Float! Yummy!

Nice. BTW, I just sent the tracking#. Looks like we're both getting packages on Thursday.

Qhrumphf said:

Not entirely sold on this one. I get the concept. And I dig the yeast. But there seems to be too much going on. And I'm pretty sure this isn't a fresh bottle. Not as much hops as I was led to believe.

Click to expand...

I must've got a fresh one because I thought it was great but then again I think torpedo is good so what do I know?

mcbaumannerb said:

Having this as the boil continues. Thanks Clint! Looks like it won't be quite as long a boil as the dry air is really contributing to boil-off.

What do you think of Pako's?

It was good - very solid IPA.

Having some water before working out.

I go to Bahn Mi DC all the time. Easy in & out, plus other tasty treats.

Water at the gym.
