Green flash green bullet. Dude said this was the freshest of the ipas on hand, so it had to come home.


I seem to recall thinking that one was pretty damned yummy-- translation being. I seem to recall killing a four pack in a hotel parking lot and having a really rough day at work after.

Still chub. Time to fire up the grill for a late steak.

Bourbon, lots of bourbon. Waiting on a flight to Charleston.

Nice. Parents live there. Cool town.





Let this warm before we opened it - wow! Coffee is really good and balanced with the stout.

That beer is amazing on tap. I brought back a full growler from Charleston which I got to enjoy by myself and fully enjoyed it. It tasted just like a chocolate doughnut! Parents brought a 22 up in June for my b-day and wasn't as impressed with it compared to the growlers from Westbrook (just outside Charleston).
 
Bomb!

~disclaimer for the NSA analyst reading this post: bomb! Is a beer brewed by prairie artisan ales. I am in no way involved with explosives~
 
HB cascade pale ale. no photo.

OFF TOPIC - i'm teaching a guy to homebrew on Sunday, this is the recipe he wants to do - http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/phil-keeners-belgian-dubbel/
seems easy enough, but i put into my software and i'm getting IBU in the 50s, which is really off the charts for Belgian Dubbel (style says 15-25). Is my software off or just a really hoppy dubbel? would you brew to style for a newbie or go with the recipe?
 
Gose, prepped for a brew tomorrow, killed the keg of IPA and two others are getting light so I brought up a batch of milk chocolate stout to keg and thew the short keg of RIS in:rockin:

Are you teaching him to brew or to conform?:D

If he has a recipe he is excited about I would brew it. Letting someone compare experience to expectations is a great teacher. And really... Brew to style only matters for competitions. The commercial guys certainly don't care about it.

Now the biscotti. I'll give a slight edge to donut, but both are really good.

Did you get biscotti break natale to get the trifecta?
I think my rankings were the doughnut break growlers was a amazing, the biscotti break natale was good, and the biscotti break and doughnut break 22s were tied for adequate.
Still nursing the green bullet.
 
This time I blended the bomb! and vanilla bean ice cream. It's like a 14% ABV chocolate/coffee milkshake with a touch of heat. AMAZING!

First time I've tried Gumballhead.
Not a bad hoppy wheat


I love gumbalhead. If I had any ambition I would be putting my draft system back together and enjoying my Amarillo wheat. Instead I am grilling at 9:30 because wife's demands are the only thing hrs will get me off the couch right now.

and another good point

style be damned!- hoppy belgian dubbel it is.
 
Screw being sick, there's beer that needs to be drank! Opened a bottle of my RIPA. Only 9 days in the bottle. Could use another week and of course more than a few hours of refrigerator time to avoid a pour like this. ImageUploadedByHome Brew1411180647.088160.jpg
